Strategy added 1,550 Bitcoin to its balance sheet this week, spending roughly $101.3m and lifting its total holdings to 845,256 BTC. The purchase follows a rare 32 BTC sale in late May that fueled speculation the firm could turn into a structural seller during market stress. Strategy later said the sale related to treasury management and preferred share dividend obligations, not a shift away from accumulating Bitcoin.

Developers also proposed the Ironwood upgrade on June 6, while an analyst flagged $314 as a key level if a rising-wedge breakdown plays out.

Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted FTX co-founder serving a 25-year federal sentence, filed a presidential pardon application with the U.S. DOJ's Office of the Pardon Attorney on June 8, 2026. The request is listed as a "pardon after completion of sentence," which would not shorten his term if granted. After the filing became public, FTT rose roughly 50% intraday while prediction-market probabilities also shifted.

Wallet address 0x1be4 borrowed around 18,000 ETH via Aave over two consecutive days and then transferred the full amount to Binance. The flow was flagged by on-chain watchers and stood out because the ETH appears to be newly borrowed rather than sourced from existing holdings. Deposits to centralized exchanges can precede selling or be used for margin and other exchange functions, so the next transactions may clarify intent.

Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff called the move "damage control" and argued the company boosted U.S. dollar reserves by $100 million while raising capital via stock sales.
