CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that Strategy's preferred stock MSTR has fallen 78% from its peak, while Bitcoin has dropped 51% from its peak. The average cost basis for Strategy's 847,363 BTC holdings is $75,651, with a total cost of $64.1 billion. The current BTC price has fallen below this cost line for the first time since the bear market of 2022. The additional decline of MSTR relative to BTC has reached about 28 percentage points, approaching the upper end of the historical range, but has not yet touched the extreme of an 89% retracement from the 2022 low.Meanwhile, Strategy's purchasing strategy has clearly shifted to a defensive stance: the weekly BTC purchase volume has been cut by about two-thirds, with less than 11% of the $335.5 million raised through stock issuance used to buy BTC, and the remainder transferred to dollar reserves. At the end of May, Strategy also conducted its first net sell since 2022, selling 32 BTC to pay STRC dividends. Adler pointed out that the main risk currently lies in BTC remaining below the treasury cost line of $75,000, which would block the financing channel for ATM issuance by compressing the MSTR premium. However, nearly all of Strategy's debt is in convertible bonds, with no additional margin risk; the baseline scenario is the loss of marginal buyers rather than cascading liquidations. The real pressure point lies in the company's transition from selling stock to systematically selling BTC itself to pay preferred stock dividends and debt interest.

According to The Block, Bitcoin miner revenue continues to decline, with the 7-day moving average dropping to about $30,000,000 per day, down from over $50,000,000 last summer. The contribution from transaction fees has become negligible, at less than $250,000 per day. The current trading price of BTC is about $62,500, significantly lower than JPMorgan's estimated production cost of around $78,000, a gap that has persisted for five months, the longest in this cycle. Production costs have historically been seen as a soft price floor, and currently, about 20% of miners are operating at a loss.Network-level pressure is becoming evident. Over the past six months, the beta value of mining difficulty relative to BTC price has risen to 0.62, with high-cost miners switching off their machines based on price fluctuations rather than continuing to operate at a loss. In the second week of June, difficulty decreased by 10%, marking the second similar adjustment this year. Publicly listed mining companies have sold over 32,000 BTC in the first quarter to cover operating costs, rather than further reducing production capacity.

Bitcoin miner revenue has continued to decline over the past year, with the current 7-day moving average daily income at approximately $30 million, significantly lower than last summer's level of over $50 million. Among this, transaction fees have dropped to less than $250,000 per day, almost negligible compared to block subsidies.Meanwhile, the price of Bitcoin is around $62,500, below JPMorgan's estimated production cost of about $78,000. This state of being below production costs has persisted for five months, the longest duration in this cycle. Historically, production costs are often seen as a soft bottom area for Bitcoin prices. Currently, it is estimated that about 20% of miners are in a loss position at the current price, and the pressure is beginning to reflect at the network level.Over the past six months, the sensitivity of mining difficulty to Bitcoin prices has risen to 0.62, indicating that high-cost miners are increasingly inclined to turn off their mining machines based on price fluctuations rather than continue mining at a loss. In the second week of June, Bitcoin mining difficulty decreased by 10%, marking the second occurrence of a similar magnitude adjustment this year. A comparable adjustment also occurred in the previous quarter, with both instances happening during periods when prices remained below production costs, indicating that pressure on the miner side is deepening.

Qualcomm announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Modular to strengthen its generative AI and agent-based AI software foundation for data centers and edge environments. The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.Qualcomm stated that Modular provides an open AI-native software stack that enables AI to run efficiently across different hardware architectures. Its unified platform supports CPU, GPU, NPU, and custom ASIC architectures without the need to rewrite models for each type of accelerator. For developers and enterprises, this means they can build once and deploy in different environments while reducing overall ownership costs.Qualcomm noted that as AI scales, efficiency rather than capability is becoming the limiting factor. Performance per watt will impact inference costs, and costs determine whether AI can scale. This acquisition will further help Qualcomm provide a chip-agnostic computing layer between devices, edge, and data centers, improving performance per watt, increasing hardware flexibility, and expanding the open developer ecosystem.

Gate announces the launch of a new USD ecosystem and upgrades its two major product modules, Gate Pay and Exchange, further integrating USD asset management, capital flow, and digital asset usage scenarios.

According to analyst Darkfost, the realized price of short-term holders (STH) of Bitcoin is currently about $74,800, while BTC has been running below this cost line for eight consecutive months, with short-term holders still generally under pressure from losses. Currently, the average unrealized loss for STH is about 14.4%, a significant improvement from over 34% in February of this year.It is noteworthy that the cost price for STH has decreased from $95,700 to $74,800, indicating that some short-term holders have continued to accumulate during the decline, thereby lowering the overall holding cost. In this cycle, the unrealized profit for STH peaked at 47% in March 2024, while when BTC reached an all-time high in October 2025, this metric was only 11%, showing that the market's profit level is significantly weaker than in previous stages. The STH cost price of $74,800 remains a key resistance level. If BTC can regain this level, it may indicate a positive shift in market structure; however, before that, this area is more likely to become a selling pressure zone for short-term holders looking to break even.

According to Cointelegraph, former Bank for International Settlements President Agustín Carstens stated at the Point Zero Forum that stablecoins can promote financial innovation and inclusivity while reducing costs.He pointed out that efforts should be made to create conditions for the coexistence of fiat currency and stablecoins. If we hope to establish a global system where stablecoins interact with global currencies, this must be a global cooperative effort. Improved regulation and a fair competitive environment for issuers can help stablecoins thrive dramatically.

Status Network announced that it will merge its gas-free and privacy L2 technology into the Linea ecosystem, becoming the native distribution layer for the latter, and will no longer launch an independent mainnet. This merger aims to unify the technical routes and liquidity of both parties, avoid ecological fragmentation, and allow Status to fully concentrate its resources on its core application, Status App.The official statement indicated that the previous pre-deposit treasury has now been closed, and the related assets will be fully migrated to the Linea mainnet. When the Linea mainnet opens for withdrawals, pre-deposit users will not only be able to withdraw their principal and accrued earnings but will also proportionally receive a total of 20 million SNT and 20 million LINEA as liquidity rewards. A detailed migration timeline and testnet developer migration guide will be officially announced next week.

According to official news, the "social wallet" project ANT.Fun announced the completion of approximately $5 million in strategic financing through the AntFun token, with investors including several Web3 institutions such as MH Ventures, Zerra Venture, Zuala Capital, X21 Digital, and Becker Ventures.The project is building a mobile application on the Solana public chain that integrates "social + Alpha trading," supporting voice discussions, opportunity discovery, and one-click trading. The team claims that its protocol has consistently ranked among the top ten in Solana's revenue, and will accelerate the development of social financial infrastructure, cross-community functions, and an artificial intelligence Alpha strategy discovery engine.

According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum research forum has released a new proposal introducing the "validator redirect revenue" mechanism, allowing validators to redirect 0% to 10% of staking rewards to fund ecosystem infrastructure and public goods. If a majority of validators support a certain percentage, that percentage will be enforced for all validators. Based on current staking levels, a redirect of 5% to 10% could bring approximately 50,000 to 70,000 ETH to the ecosystem each year, equivalent to about 120 million dollars.The proposal aims to address the long-standing "free-rider" problem in Ethereum, but it has also raised concerns about the risks of validators jointly manipulating the flow of funds and the misalignment of interests between staking operators and ETH holders. The proposal is currently still in the discussion phase and has not yet entered the formal voting process.

JustLend DAO officially announces the launch of the U market lending feature. Users can now directly deposit or borrow U assets on the platform.

According to Rest of World, in order to significantly reduce operating costs, American developers and startups are accelerating the adoption of Chinese AI models such as DeepSeek, Minimax, and Kimi. Due to their high cost-effectiveness in handling common tasks like code writing, the market share of Chinese AI models is rapidly increasing. Data shows that in May, the Token usage share of DeepSeek on the service provider Vercel platform surged from less than 1% to 17%. Additionally, it is reported that Microsoft is also exploring the use of DeepSeek or other open-source models as a low-cost alternative for Copilot.However, despite the popularity of Chinese AI models in the market due to their price advantage, many American companies and developers choose to access these models indirectly through local servers or American cloud service providers, constrained by domestic political scrutiny and data security concerns. This has led to Chinese AI companies facing high usage rates while still struggling to effectively convert traffic into substantial direct revenue and long-term enterprise-level customer trust in the U.S. market.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that after the recent rebound in Bitcoin prices, miner selling pressure has returned, as evidenced by a significant increase in miner inflows to Binance.
