According to WSJ, Anthropic's revenue is expected to reach $10.9 billion in the second quarter, more than doubling from $4.8 billion in the first quarter, and it will achieve profitability at the operational level for the first time. Due to its enormous computing power requirements, the company may not be able to maintain profitability throughout the year; the operational profits have already accounted for the costs of training new models but do not include equity incentive expenses.As part of an ongoing financing round, Anthropic disclosed this data to investors, and this round of financing is likely to raise its valuation above that of OpenAI. Last summer, Anthropic shared financial data with investors, which indicated that the company might not achieve full-year profitability until at least 2028.

According to on-chain analyst @MorenoDV_ in a post on CryptoQuant, the long-term holders (LTH) of BTC are approaching a critical turning point in their adjusted net unrealized profit (NUPL), but the market bottom signal has not yet been triggered.Since the peak on October 6, 2025, LTH profitability has sharply compressed from 58% to 3% over 142 days, reflecting a significant deterioration in investor sentiment and holding structure. However, LTH-NUPL is currently still slightly above zero and has not entered the comprehensive liquidation range necessary for historically forming a market bottom.Analysts point out that true market bottoms in history have formed after LTH holdings have fully turned into losses. The current environment is closer to the late-cycle pressure phase rather than complete liquidation. It is recommended to focus on signals where LTH-NUPL continues to fall below zero, accompanied by long-term compression of price and volatility, as this condition has historically been highly correlated with asymmetric entry opportunities.

According to Cointelegraph, holders of BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT have returned to profitability after Bitcoin rebounded above $90,000, indicating a potential shift in sentiment among one of the key investor groups driving the market this year.Arkham data shows that the largest spot Bitcoin fund, BlackRock's IBIT, has seen cumulative profits rise back to $3.2 billion. Arkham stated, "On October 7, at its peak, holders of BlackRock's IBIT and ETHA were nearly $40 billion in profit, compared to a drop to $630 million just four days earlier. This means the average cost of all IBIT purchases is nearly break-even." With ETF holders no longer under pressure, the pace of Bitcoin ETF sell-offs may continue to slow. The situation has significantly improved since the recorded net outflow of $903 million on November 20.

ChainCatcher news, according to CoinDesk, investment bank Jefferies pointed out in a report released on Sunday that as Bitcoin prices fell by 2%, while the network's hash rate surged by about 9%, the profitability of Bitcoin mining declined by over 7%, intensifying the pressure on miners' profits in the fourth quarter of 2025.In that month, North American listed mining companies produced 3,401 Bitcoins, down from 3,576 in August, with their share of the global network decreasing from 26% to 25%. Among them, MARA Holdings had the highest output at 736 Bitcoins, up from 705 in August; CleanSpark followed closely with 629 Bitcoins, down from 657 in August. The price drop also reduced revenue, with a theoretical mining rig of 1 EH/s generating about $52,000 in daily income in September, down from $56,000 in August, and nearly $43,000 a year ago. The price decline, coupled with rising network difficulty, continues to compress the profit margins of the mining industry.

ChainCatcher news, Huobi HTX global advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun publicly unveiled the technical architecture and development path of SunPerp for the first time during the themed Space event.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Strategy has theoretically met the profit conditions required for inclusion in the S&P 500, having recorded $14 billion in unrealized gains last quarter. If included, passive funds tracking the index would need to passively purchase about 50 million shares, amounting to approximately $16 billion at current prices, resulting in institutional passive holdings of about $70 billion in Bitcoin reserves.Although Strategy was included in the Nasdaq 100 by the end of 2024, the S&P 500 has stricter requirements regarding liquidity, market capitalization (no less than $22.7 billion), profit records, and industry balance, ultimately depending on the committee's judgment.

It still has at least 10 times the growth potential in the future."

ChainCatcher news, according to glassnode data, since November 2022 (the FTX collapse), Bitcoin's realized market cap has increased by $468 billion (+117%), while Ethereum has only increased by $61 billion (+32%). The MVRV ratio shows that since January 2023, Bitcoin investors' unrealized profits have consistently been higher than those of Ethereum holders.In March of this year, Ethereum's MVRV fell below 1.0, indicating that ordinary investors are now in a loss position. The MVRV difference between the two assets confirms that Bitcoin investors' profitability has exceeded that of Ethereum for 812 consecutive days, setting a historical high. This ongoing trend highlights the structural differences between the two assets throughout the cycle.

ChainCatcher news, Synthetix founder Kain stated that the Ethereum mainnet is facing economic pressure from a sharp decline in gas fees and ETH burn due to L2 scaling diverting transaction activity and the introduction of blobs from EIP-4844, which reduces data availability costs.Kain believes that the rise of L2 has intercepted the profits that originally belonged to the mainnet, and a future shift towards Alt DA solutions like Celestia is likely to further weaken the profitability of the Ethereum mainnet. To address this issue, he suggested that in the short term, the mainnet could be supported by official L2 or rental mechanisms, while in the long term, new demands such as the tokenization of real assets are needed to enhance the overall utilization of L1/L2.He emphasized that the Ethereum community has advantages in coordination, but should decisively abandon unrelated projects and concentrate resources on breakthroughs at the application layer to cope with competitive pressures from L2 and other data availability solutions.

ChainCatcher news, Placeholder partner Chris Burniske posted on social media that the pullback in this bull market is indeed different from previous ones. BTC has hardly dropped and may drop even more, while many altcoins are in deep trouble, with prices returning to bear market lows. But pain will trigger problems, and difficult problems will bring good answers and changes.It is expected that many altcoins with "protocol profitability" will begin to seek token buyback programs or other ways to return these funds to holders, as a resistance and distinction against Meme coins.
