Today in crypto, Strategy’s Michael Saylor is bucking a market rout with signals that more Bitcoin buys are planned. Meanwhile, Trump-linked WLFI dropped more than five hours before the Oct. 10 crypto liquidation event, and X exec Nikita Bier says in-app trading is just weeks away.
Strategy’s Saylor signals further Bitcoin buys despite rout
Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company Strategy, signaled that the company is acquiring more BTC amid the ongoing market dip, marking week 12 of a consecutive buying streak.
Saylor posted the Strategy BTC accumulation chart via the X social media platform on Sunday. The chart has become synonymous with BTC purchases made by the company, which is touting its upcoming 99th BTC transaction.
Strategy’s most recent BTC purchase occurred on Feb. 9, when the company bought 1,142 BTC for more than $90 million, bringing its total holdings to 714,644 BTC, valued at about $49.3 billion using market prices at the time of publication.
Study suggests WLFI could act as an ‘early warning signal’ in crypto
World Liberty Financial Token (WLFI), a DeFi governance token affiliated with the Trump family, may have signaled a major market breakdown hours before Bitcoin moved, according to a new analysis by data provider Amberdata.
The report examines trading activity on Oct. 10, 2025, when roughly $6.93 billion in leveraged crypto positions were liquidated in under an hour. Bitcoin (BTC) fell about 15% and Ether (ETH) dropped roughly 20%, while smaller tokens lost as much as 70%.
Amberdata found that WLFI began a sharp decline more than five hours before the broader market downturn. At the time, Bitcoin was still trading near $121,000 and showed little immediate stress.
“A five-hour lead time is hard to dismiss as coincidence,” Mike Marshall, who authored the report, told Cointelegraph. “That duration is what separates a genuinely actionable warning from a statistical artefact,” he added.
Nikitia Bier says X Smart Cashtags will feature in-app trading
The upcoming Smart Cashtags feature on the X social media platform will launch in a “couple” of weeks, according to X’s Head of Product Nikitia Bier, who added that it will allow users to trade supported financial assets directly within the X app.
“We are launching a number of features in a couple of weeks, including Smart Cashtags that will enable you to trade stocks and crypto directly from the timeline,” Bier said in an X post on Saturday.
The feature has been widely anticipated by investors and traders in the crypto community ever since Elon Musk took over the platform in 2022 and said that he wants to turn X into an “everything app.”
The X platform is one of the main social media hubs used by the crypto community for communication, alongside messaging app Telegram.
