Attorneys general from several states say they haven’t abandoned their antitrust case against Live Nation.

This came after the news Monday (March 9) that the U.S. Department of Justice had reached a settlement with the company, which owns Ticketmaster.

As Reuters reported, Live Nation will pay a $200 million settlement and agree to make changes to its platform, such as allowing the participation of third-party ticketing services like Eventbrite.

However, New York State Attorney General Letitia James said her office could not agree to the settlement, arguing that it did not address the competition issue at the center of the case, and that it benefits Live Nation at the consumer’s expense.

“For years, Live Nation has made enormous profits by exploiting its illegal monopoly and raising costs for shows,” James said in a news release. “My office has led a bipartisan group of attorneys general in suing Live Nation for taking advantage of fans, venues, and artists, and we are committed to holding Live Nation accountable.”

She added that she and her colleagues from other states will continue to pursue their case.

The Justice Department had filed suit in 2024 to break up Live Nation, claiming antitrust violations and monopolistic practices on the company’s part. The company had faced heavy scrutiny since acquiring Ticketmaster in 2010.

Then came Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour, where fans of the pop star spent hours in online queues to access the high-priced tickets.

Fans of Swift and other musicians sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster in 2024, accusing the companies of colluding with other organizations to drive up the price of tickets.

“This lawsuit is based on false assumptions about how ticketing works. Artist teams, not Ticketmaster, set prices,” a Live National spokesperson told Wired at the time. “Live Nation does not own stadiums in the U.S. and primary tickets are consistently priced below market value, as evidenced by resale prices averaging more than double.”

The Justice Department and Live Nation had been weeks into their antitrust trial when the settlement was announced.

According to Reuters, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian questioned on Monday why the two sides had not notified the court about the settlement sooner, as the agreement was signed last week. A lawyer for the DOJ told the judge she was unaware of the settlement as the trial continued on Friday. The judge was unhappy with the outcome, the report added.

“It shows absolute disrespect for the court, for the jury, for this entire process, and it is entirely unacceptable,” Subramanian said.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Navan, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVN), its IPO underwriters, and certain executives after the company’s December 15, 2025 announcement of Q3 2026 quarterly financial results for the quarter ended October 31, 2025. Among other matters, investors learned that Navan incurred a huge sequential increase in sales and marketing expenses.

Of concern was that the quarter end coincided with Navan’s IPO closing, whereby the company and certain selling stockholders sold about 36.9 million shares at $25 per share to the investing public.

Navan also announced the surprise departure of its CFO (Amy Butte) effective January 9, 2026.

The markets swiftly reacted, sending the price of Navan shares down nearly 12% to close at $12.90, or about 48% below the IPO price, on December 16. By the time the complaint was filed on February 23, 2026, the price of Navan shares closed at $9.16, or 63% below the IPO price.

The developments and severe market reactions have prompted national shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman to investigate the legal claims that Navan and the other defendants violated the federal securities laws. The firm urges Navan investors who suffered significant losses to contact the firm now to discuss their rights.

Navan, Inc. (NAVN) Securities Class Action: 

The litigation challenges Navan’s alleged omissions from its IPO offering documents, including adverse, then-existing trends in sales and marketing expenses.

The complaint alleges that Navan’s IPO offering documents offered a picture of potential growth by emphasizing that its business “experienced rapid growth,” and its solutions catered to “customers of all sizes across any industry vertical.” The IPO documents stated Navan’s revenue “grew 33% year-over-year” from 2024 to 2025, its gross booking volume (“GBV”) “grew 32% year-over-year” during the same timeframe, and its “usage yield” was “approximately 7%” in each of those years as well.

But, when on December 15, 2025, Navan unexpectedly reported a 39% sequential spike in its sales and marketing expenses during the IPO-coincident quarter ended October 31, 2025, slowing year-over-year revenue growth, and a fourfold year-over-year increase in its GAAP net loss, questions arose about the sufficiency of Navan’s disclosures, including those related to its Q3 expense trends, while conducting its IPO.

The complaint alleges that Navan’s and the other defendants’ statements and omissions during the IPO misled investors because crucial information – including the spike in sales and marketing expenses – was not included in the company’s offering documents.

“We’re investigating whether, at the time of its IPO, Navan was legally transparent about apparently known, materially adverse trends in its business. We’re also investigating the circumstances surrounding the CFO’s abrupt departure,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

If you invested in Navan and have substantial losses, or have knowledge that may assist the firm’s investigation, submit your losses now »

Under the new program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC.

Key Takeaways Trade Desk says video, including CTV, made up about half of its business in Q4 as streaming ad demand grows.TTD platform evaluates roughly 20 million ad opportunities per second to select impressions.Trade Desk launched the Ventura Ecosystem in February to improve transparency and efficiency in streaming ads. The Trade Desk, Inc.’s (TTD - Free Report) connected TV (CTV) platform is increasingly positioned to capture premium streaming advertising budgets as advertisers shift toward programmatic, decision-based buying models. The company emphasized that CTV remains one of its fastest-growing channels, with video, which includes CTV, accounting for about half of its business in the fourth quarter of 2025. The growth reflects a broader industry transition as major content owners expand programmatic access to their premium streaming inventory.

The evolution of CTV advertising is being driven by a structural shift away from traditional buying approaches such as insertion orders and fixed programmatic guarantees. Instead, advertisers are increasingly favoring biddable transactions that allow them to apply data-driven decision-making in real time. This shift enables brands to evaluate large volumes of potential ad opportunities and select the impressions most likely to drive campaign outcomes.

Management highlighted that the open Internet now offers more advertising supply than ever before, creating a buyer’s market for advertisers. In such an environment, platforms capable of objective decision-making across large volumes of impressions become increasingly valuable. The company highlighted that its platform evaluates roughly 20 million ad opportunities every second, using extensive data inputs to determine which impressions should be purchased for advertisers.

A key differentiator for the platform is that Trade Desk does not own media inventory. This structure allows the system to prioritize objective decision-making rather than steering advertisers toward owned inventory. By evaluating impressions across a wide range of publishers and streaming environments, the platform aims to identify the most relevant and effective opportunities for campaign performance.

The company also stated that many sophisticated advertisers are seeking ways to maintain the advantages of negotiated deals while preserving decisioning flexibility. Instead of committing to fixed placements, advertisers increasingly prefer frameworks that allow them to bid across available inventory while still benefiting from negotiated pricing or scale-based advantages. As a result, the market is moving toward more biddable CTV transactions that retain programmatic optimization.

In February 2026, Trade Desk expanded its push to reshape CTV advertising with the launch of the Ventura Ecosystem, an industry-wide collaboration built to foster greater transparency, fairness and revenue efficiency in streaming.

For the first quarter of 2026, the company expects revenue of at least $678 million, indicating year-over-year growth of about 10%. It also anticipates adjusted EBITDA of approximately $195 million for the quarter.

Taking a Look at CTV Efforts of PUBM & MGNIPubMatic, Inc.’s (PUBM - Free Report) CTV remains one of its most important growth channels. The company recently added a new marquee global streamer to its platform and has partnered with 28 of the top 30 global streaming services, including Roku, Samsung TV Plus, DirecTV, Fox Sports, Tubi and Vizio. Management stated that this leadership in the CTV ecosystem continues to attract leading global brands to its platform. Sony Network Communications recently selected PubMatic to reach both linear and CTV audiences programmatically through the company’s platform. The campaign demonstrates how PubMatic enables brands to connect with incremental customers while supporting stronger monetization opportunities for CTV publishers through programmatic execution across both linear and connected TV formats.

Magnite, Inc. (MGNI - Free Report) is seeing a significant inflection in the growth of the programmatic CTV market, reflected in 32% top-line growth excluding political spending in the fourth quarter, along with continued strength entering the first quarter. Management highlighted that advertising spend is increasingly shifting into CTV from multiple areas of digital advertising, including DV+. Management noted that in the first quarter, CTV already accounts for close to 50% of the company’s business. The company stated that Magnite’s technology, partnerships, trust and team position it to emerge as a key player in the CTV market. It also highlighted that the company’s CTV momentum is broad-based across both media owners and CTV ad buyers.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Apollo Global Management (NYSE: APO) and certain current and former executives after blockbuster reporting by The Financial Times and CNN on previously undisclosed information about Apollo’s business relationship with disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The lawsuit seeks to represent investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Apollo securities between May 10, 2021 and February 21, 2026.

Each of FT’s and CNN’s reports drove the price of Apollo shares significantly lower, prompting national shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman to continue its investigation into claims that Apollo violated the federal securities. The firm urges Apollo investors who suffered significant losses to contact the firm now to discuss their rights.

Apollo Global Management (APO) Securities Class Action: 

The litigation is focused on the propriety of Apollo’s assurances that it had never done business with Epstein.

In contrast to Apollo’s assurances, the lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Apollo’s CEO Marc Rowan consulted Epstein on Apollo’s tax affairs.

This information came to light beginning on February 1, 2026, when the FT reported that “[t]op Apollo Global Management executives including chief Marc Rowan held wide-ranging discussions over the firm’s tax arrangements with Jeffrey Epstein throughout the 2010s, despite the private capital firm having previously said it ‘never did any business’ with the child sex offender.” The report was based on a review of millions of emails recently released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Scrutiny heightened on February 17, 2026, when the FT reported that two teachers’ unions whose members have over $27.5 billion in capital commitments to Apollo funds requested an SEC investigation into Apollo’s “‘lack of candour’ over its ties to Epstein.” According to the article, the unions said in their letter to the SEC “‘[w]e are troubled by Apollo’s seeming inability to be forthcoming about the extent to which Epstein was a personal, social and professional associate of the firm and its partners.’”

The next day, Apollo’s President James C. Zelter sent a letter to clients and partners claiming there was nothing new in the Epstein documents and “[n]either Marc Rowan nor anyone else at Apollo (excluding Leon Black) had either a business or personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.”

Finally, on February 21, 2026, CNN published “How Wall Street’s Apollo got tangled up again in the Epstein files.” In addition to the above matters, CNN reported that “Eleanor Bloxham, founder and CEO of The Value Alliance Company, which advises boards and executives, told CNN that she believes the unions have a ‘strong case’ pushing for an SEC investigation[]” and “described Apollo’s response this week as ‘very weak’ and questioned why Rowan’s meetings and correspondence with Epstein was not previously disclosed.”

As these events have unfolded, by February 23, 2026, investors saw the price of Apollo shares fall over 15%, wiping out over $12 billion of market capitalization in just over three weeks.

“We’re investigating whether, having assured investors that it and no one else at Apollo except Black had ever done business with Epstein, Apollo misrepresented the reputational risk that it has apparently been facing for years,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation.

Retirees hunting for reliable income in 2026 keep landing on WisdomTree U.S. LargeCap Fund (NYSEARCA:EPS), a fund that does something different from most S&P 500 trackers. Rather than weighting companies by market capitalization, it weights them by earnings. Bigger earners get bigger allocations, tilting the portfolio toward profit-generating businesses rather than simply the most valuable ones.

How EPS Generates Its Income The fund passes through dividends from its large-cap U.S. equity holdings. Owning over 500 companies across every major sector means no single dividend cut can meaningfully derail the income stream. The 1.21% dividend yield is modest, reflecting the fund’s composition: its largest holdings are high-earning tech and growth companies that tend to retain earnings rather than distribute them.

The quarterly distribution history shows a consistent, if unspectacular, income track record. 2025 dividends ranged from $0.195 in Q1 to $0.245 in Q4, and the fund has maintained a quarterly payment schedule since its inception in February 2007, covering multiple recessions and market dislocations without skipping a payment.

Is the Income Stream Actually Safe? The earnings-weighted methodology provides structural income durability. Companies that earn more get more weight, naturally filtering toward businesses generating real cash. The 16% annual portfolio turnover keeps transaction costs low and tax drag minimal, both of which matter to retirees drawing income from a taxable account.

The macro backdrop is supportive. Total U.S. corporate profits reached $4,105.2 billion in Q3 2025, up 9.3% year-over-year, with financial sector profits growing sharply. Since EPS weights toward earnings, rising corporate profits directly strengthen the fund’s income foundation.

The honest caveat is the yield-versus-alternatives comparison. The 10-year Treasury currently yields 4.13%, well above EPS’s 1.21% dividend yield. That gap is real, and retirees who need current income above all else will feel it. What EPS offers in return is equity participation — the chance for both the income and the underlying portfolio to grow over time.

Total Return Puts the Yield in Context The total return data over longer horizons reflects both price appreciation and dividend income combined. EPS gained 16.88% over the past year and 81.83% over five years, demonstrating that the dividend alone understates the fund’s actual return. Year-to-date in 2026 the fund is slightly negative, down 1.31%, reflecting broader equity market softness.

Eighteen years of uninterrupted quarterly payments, broad diversification across 500+ companies, and an improving profit environment all support income continuity. Where EPS falls short for pure income investors is yield level, not yield safety. Retirees needing 3% or 4% in annual income will find this fund insufficient on its own. The fund’s structure is designed to serve as a broad equity holding, though its yield level remains below what dedicated income instruments offer.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National shareholder rights law firm Hagens Berman provides an update to investors in CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) following the company’s dismal fourth-quarter 2025 financial results. The news follows allegations that the company concealed operational failures, as pled in a recently filed securities class action.

Hagens Berman is investigating the alleged claims in the pending suit. The firm urges investors who suffered substantial losses to:

SUBMIT YOUR LOSSES NOW

On February 26, 2026, CoreWeave reported a Q4 net loss of $452 million, or $0.89 per share—a staggering figure that nearly doubled the $0.49 loss per share anticipated by Wall Street analysts. Compounding the miss, CoreWeave issued a soft Q1 2026 revenue guidance of $1.9 billion to $2.0 billion, falling significantly short of the $2.3 billion consensus. On this news, CRWV shares plunged nearly 20%.

The disappointing Q4 results come after the filing of a securities class action suit against CoreWeave and certain of its executives arising from the company’s inability to scale its high-performance computing (HPC) clusters at the pace allegedly promised.

“We are investigating whether the company overstated scaling capabilities and hid critical delays,” said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the firm’s investigation of the pending claims.

The CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV) Securities Class Action

The pending securities class action, Masaitis v. CoreWeave, Inc., et al., No. 2:26-cv-00355, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, seeks to recover losses for investors who acquired CoreWeave securities between March 28, 2025, and December 15, 2025 (the “Class Period”).

The complaint alleges that CoreWeave and its executives violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by:

Overstating Scaling Capabilities: Allegedly misrepresenting the company's ability to satisfy "unprecedented" demand for its NVIDIA-powered AI cloud.Concealing Critical Delays: Failing to disclose that the Denton, Texas data center cluster—intended to service OpenAI—was months behind schedule due to weather and design plan revisions.Single-Supplier Dependency: Understating the operational and financial risks of its heavy reliance on a single third-party data center developer.Share Price Erosion: Since these infrastructure failures began to surface in late 2025, CoreWeave’s stock has faced severe downward pressure, further exacerbated by the latest Q4 earnings shock. Critical Deadline: March 13, 2026

If you purchased CoreWeave common stock during the Class Period (Mar. 28, 2025 – Dec. 15, 2025) and suffered substantial losses, you have until March 13, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff.

Conflict in Iran is spooking global markets, sending oil prices higher. Some geopolitical experts and professional investors are speculating that prolonged conflict there or a traditional boots-on-the-ground military campaign could send crude price soaring to $150 per barrel.

That would send shockwaves throughout the global economy, but it could also bring opportunity for headline-driven traders with a variety of leveraged ETFs, including the Direxion Daily Energy Bull 3X Shares (ERX) and the Direxion Daily Energy Bear 2X Shares (ERY). Those ETFs are linked to the equity-based Energy Select Sector Index and both are worth monitoring over the near-term.

“A prolonged war could lead to a spike in energy prices to over $100 per barrel and inflation,” observed Morningstar’s Leslie Norton on March 6, 2026.

ERX and other bullish oil strategies, including the Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Bull 2X ETF (GUSH), could benefit from near-term pops in oil prices, but if those prices remain high for what market participants consider to be too long, renewable energy could come back into focus. In turn, the bearish ERY could benefit.

“Elevated oil prices open opportunities to accelerate energy independence and increase the use of renewables throughout the United States,” added Norton.

Individual Equity Ideas Not surprisingly, geopolitical headlines stemming from the Middle East encourage some market participants to examine individual oil stocks.

It’s a practical response, and one that could put geared ETFs such as the the Direxion Daily XOM Bull 2X Shares (XOMX) and the Direxion Daily XOM Bear 1X Shares (XOMZ) in focus. Shares of Exxon dithered for much of last week, and that could be a sign the bearish XOMZ is worth monitoring over the near-term. The reasoning is twofold.

First, integrated oil stocks such as Exxon spent the first two months of 2026 rallying prior to the Iran headlines. Second, three-figure oil prices isn’t good news for producers, because it damps demand.

Traders considering XOMX and XOMZ obviously need to stay abreast of goings on in Iran, but they shouldn’t ignore Venezuela as a potential catalyst. At a recent Morgan Stanley conference, Senior Vice ​President Jack Williams said Exxon is preparing to send a team to Venezuela, home to the world’s largest crude reserves, to evaluate potential opportunities there.

Key Takeaways Tesla plans a 400 stall Supercharger at Eddie World in Yermo, set to become its largest charging site.Tesla will add 72 V4 stalls in phase one, with expansion eventually topping 400 units.Tesla's site on I-15 will include dining, retail and pull-through bays for larger vehicles. Tesla (TSLA - Free Report) is planning to build its largest Supercharger station yet, after submitting plans for a facility with more than 400 charging stalls in California, per Teslarati.

The project will expand the existing Eddie World Supercharger in Yermo and will be developed in multiple phases. The current site has 22 older V2 and V3 chargers limited to 150 kW, but the first phase of the expansion, starting later this year, will add 72 V4 stalls. The additional phases will eventually bring the total to more than 400 next-generation chargers.

The project was first highlighted by Tesla Supercharger tracker MarcoRP. It is located along Interstate 15 between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, a busy EV travel corridor where charging demand is high. The 20-mile corridor around the site already includes more than 200 high-power charging stalls, such as 40 rated at 250 kW and 120 at 325 kW, along with another 96 stalls in nearby Baker, California. Despite this large charging capacity, heavy travel demand during peak periods still leads to congestion.

Once completed, the new station will surpass all existing Tesla Supercharger locations in size. The current largest site, the solar- and Megapack-powered “Project Oasis” in Lost Hills, California, has 164 stalls, while a previous major hub in Barstow, California, offered 120. The planned Eddie World 2 facility will be more than twice that scale, reinforcing Tesla’s leadership in high-capacity EV charging infrastructure.

The project also integrates charging with amenities. Design plans include retail and dining options, such as Cracker Barrel and McDonald's, along with a convenience store, additional restaurants, drive-throughs, outdoor seating area, and leasable commercial space. EV-focused features will include pull-through charging bays designed to accommodate larger vehicles, including the Tesla Cybertruck, vehicles towing trailers, and future Tesla Semi trucks. TSLA carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at present.

Wall Street is turning constructive on three clinical-stage biotechs simultaneously, each sitting at the edge of a binary catalyst. The analyst calls on uniQure (NASDAQ:QURE), Syndax Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:SNDX), and Erasca (NASDAQ:ERAS) share a common thread: analysts see asymmetric upside in names where the market has not yet priced in the full probability of success.

uniQure: Two Upgrades, One Regulatory Shift The most dramatic call belongs to uniQure. RBC Capital analyst Luca Issi upgraded the stock to Outperform from Sector Perform with a price target of $35, up from $11. Wells Fargo also upgraded uniQure to Overweight from Equal Weight with a $60 price target. The catalyst: the departure of Vinay Prasad from the FDA. RBC views this as a positive for uniQure, noting it is “not inconceivable” that the FDA reverts to its prior stance, and believes Prasad’s departure is likely to open up a more balanced discussion on risk/reward for Huntington’s disease. RBC now places a 50% chance the drug ultimately gets approved.

The clinical data underpinning that view is meaningful. AMT-130’s Phase I/II 36-month data showed statistically significant 75% slowing in disease progression on cUHDRS (p=0.003) and 60% slowing on TFC (p=0.033). The FDA’s January 2026 directive requires a full randomized, double-blind, sham surgery-controlled Phase III trial before any marketing application, and uniQure has a Type B meeting with the FDA planned for Q2 2026 to discuss Phase III study design.

The stock currently trades at $16.52, well below both price targets. The consensus analyst target sits at $28.45, with 10 buy ratings and 3 holds across the coverage universe. The stock has surged 53.33% over the past week as the upgrade cycle took hold, though it remains down 32.72% year-to-date from its January levels. The binary nature of an FDA outcome remains a key consideration. uniQure does hold $622.5M in cash with runway into H2 2029, limiting near-term dilution risk.

Syndax: IPF Optionality Not in the Price JPMorgan’s call on Syndax is more straightforward. The firm raised its price target to $45 from $33 and kept an Overweight rating. The core argument: at current share levels, no value is being ascribed to the Niktimvo IPF opportunity, with Phase 2 MAXPIRe data expected in Q4 2026. JPMorgan sees the value of Revuforj and Niktimvo in the refractory commercial setting alone in the high-$20s to low-$30s per share range.

Syndax trades at $23.23 against a consensus target of $38.09, with 12 buy ratings and zero sells across coverage. The commercial trajectory supports the bullish read: Revuforj posted Q4 net revenue of $44.20M, up 38% sequentially, with total prescriptions of approximately 1,150, up 35% quarter-over-quarter. Management has guided toward profitability without additional capital raises, adding credibility to the JPMorgan thesis.

Erasca: Catalyst Watch on a RAS Inhibitor JPMorgan added Erasca to its “Positive Catalyst Watch list” ahead of the initial Phase 1 AURORAS-1 readout for ERAS-0015 in RAS-mutant solid tumors, expected in the first half of 2026. The firm sees a high probability of an upside scenario and “multiple ways to win” in the initial update, with share upside into the high-teens to high-$20s in win scenarios. JPMorgan keeps an Overweight rating and established a year-end 2026 price target of $24.

Erasca trades at $15.20, already up 305.17% year-to-date. The stock has moved sharply ahead of the readout, compressing some of the upside implied by JPMorgan’s $24 target. The consensus target of $11.56 sits below the current price, though that figure likely reflects stale ratings predating the recent run. ERAS-0015 carries a U.S. composition of matter patent through September 2043, providing long-duration IP protection if the asset proves out clinically.

Across all three names, the analyst signal is directionally consistent: the market is underpricing catalyst optionality. Each name carries meaningful binary risk tied to upcoming clinical and regulatory readouts.

Seventeen years, two months, and about one week after Bitcoin's January 2009 genesis block, the network has crossed one of its most significant milestones, with its mined supply surpassing 20 million BTC, according to onchain data.

The milestone was reached at block height 939,999, based on the current 3.125 BTC block subsidy reward, after previously crossing exactly 95% of the total supply in November. The block was mined by Foundry USA pool, per Mempool data. Amid the gradual deceleration of new issuance as the network advances through successive halvings, less than 1 million BTC are now left to be mined as block subsidy rewards until miners become solely reliant on transaction fees.

Notably, 230.09 BTC remains unspendable due to the genesis block subsidy and other outputs that were created with scripts that make them impossible to spend. Bitcoin's circulating supply does not take into account other coins that may have been lost by users who have misplaced their private keys.

The event highlights the front-loaded nature of Bitcoin's issuance schedule. While it took roughly 17 years since the network launched for miners to produce the first 20 million coins, the final one million will emerge far more slowly due to the protocol's halving mechanism.

Bitcoin circulating supply. Image: Bitbo. The final 1 million BTC Bitcoin's supply schedule is embedded in the software created by its pseudonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, which caps total issuance at 21 million coins. New bitcoins are introduced as block subsidy rewards paid to miners who validate transactions and add blocks to the blockchain.

The subsidy reward started at 50 BTC per block in 2009 and is cut in half every 210,000 blocks — roughly every four years. The fourth and most recent halving on April 20, 2024, reduced the subsidy from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, sharply slowing the pace of new supply entering the market and meaning that, on average, miners produce around 450 BTC in total per day compared to 900 BTC previously. However, they continue to earn additional transaction fee rewards for each block mined as normal.

The next halving is currently estimated for April 11, 2028, according to The Block's Bitcoin Halving Countdown page.

Because each halving further reduces issuance, the remaining supply will be released at an increasingly slow rate. Analysts estimate that the final one million coins will take more than a century to mine, with the smallest fractions, measured in satoshis, expected to be issued around 2140, when the protocol reaches its hard cap — roughly 114 years from today.

Kraken Global Economist Thomas Perfumo previously told The Block that Bitcoin's predictable and declining issuance is a defining characteristic distinguishing it from traditional monetary systems.

"This programmable scarcity, coupled with predictable issuance and decentralized design, is what sets Bitcoin apart from competing forms of money and asset classes," he said. "In the short term, bitcoin's market price fluctuates with macro conditions that drive global markets, business cycles, liquidity trends, and investor sentiment. Over the long term, we believe bitcoin's hard money design, coupled with permissionless access and growing adoption, drive value accrual to the network." 

'Something to think about' Early Bitcoin developer Hal Finney also speculated on the implications of the network's fixed supply shortly after the software was released. Writing on the cryptography mailing list in January 2009, Finney discussed the challenge of valuing a new digital currency with a predetermined issuance schedule.

He noted that determining a starting value for bitcoin would be difficult given that "virtually no one will accept it at first," but argued that a successful global system could eventually command significant economic value.

As a thought experiment, Finney imagined a scenario in which Bitcoin became the dominant payment network worldwide, suggesting the currency's value could theoretically mirror global household wealth.

"Current estimates of total worldwide household wealth that I have found range from $100 trillion to $300 trillion," Finney wrote. "With 20 million coins, that gives each coin a value of about $10 million."

Even if such an outcome appeared unlikely at the time, Finney suggested the asymmetric potential of early mining made participation worthwhile, describing it as "something to think about."

TLDR Strategy acquired 17,994 additional BTC, bringing total holdings to 738,731 coins—3.4% of bitcoin’s fixed supply. Holdings show $6B in unrealized losses with BTC trading around $68K against $75,862 average purchase price. Purchases financed through $1.28B raised from ATM stock sales and STRC preferred share offerings. Various preferred stock classes provide investors with convertible options and high-yield dividend alternatives. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor continues aggressive bitcoin accumulation plan extending to 2027. Strategy Inc (MSTR) experienced a significant decline, finishing at $133.53 with a 4.49% drop, though shares recovered slightly to $133.85 in pre-market trading. The enterprise acquired 17,994 bitcoin valued at approximately $1.28 billion during the March 2-8 timeframe. Strategy’s current position totals 738,731 bitcoin, accounting for more than 3.4% of bitcoin’s maximum 21 million coin supply.

Strategy Inc, MSTR

The recent bitcoin acquisitions were financed via at-the-market distributions of Class A common stock alongside STRC preferred shares. Strategy executed sales of 6,327,541 common shares generating approximately $899.5 million throughout this period. Supplemental STRC share sales contributed $377.1 million, with substantial securities remaining available under the company’s ATM offering framework.

With bitcoin trading just under $68,000, the corporation faces approximately $6 billion in mark-to-market losses on its holdings. Strategy’s aggregate bitcoin investment totals $56.04 billion at an average acquisition cost of $75,862 per coin. The organization persists in utilizing its equity and convertible debt programs to fund ongoing purchases.

Capital Formation via Stock Offerings Strategy deployed equity issuances to efficiently generate funds for bitcoin acquisitions. The firm’s ATM facilities remain operational, maintaining $6.71 billion in available common stock capacity and $3.16 billion in STRC share availability. Additional preferred share classes—STRK, STRF, and STRD—deliver diverse investment alternatives featuring distinct dividend frameworks and risk characteristics.

STRK shares feature convertible attributes with an 8% non-cumulative dividend, offering shareholders potential equity appreciation. STRC shares deliver variable-rate cumulative dividends engineered to maintain near-par valuations. STRF represents a conservative non-convertible option with a 10% cumulative dividend, whereas STRD presents a higher-risk non-convertible structure featuring a 10% dividend.

The corporation aims to secure $84 billion in aggregate capital via equity distributions and convertible notes dedicated to bitcoin acquisitions through 2027. These financing mechanisms support its persistent strategy to grow bitcoin reserves. Ongoing sales of common and preferred securities enable substantial purchases without reliance on traditional debt instruments.

Growing Corporate Bitcoin Reserves Strategy supplemented its position with 3,015 bitcoin the previous week, acquired at a $67,700 average cost per coin. The cumulative holdings now total 738,731 bitcoin, demonstrating the organization’s substantial presence within the cryptocurrency sector. Strategy’s reserves represent one of the planet’s largest corporate bitcoin treasuries.

Public records indicate 193 corporations have implemented comparable bitcoin accumulation approaches. Leading holders include MARA, Twenty One, Metaplanet and Coinbase, with reserves spanning 13,363 to 53,822 bitcoin. Strategy preserves its leadership position as the premier corporate holder, commanding over 3% of bitcoin’s total supply.

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, has steered the organization through more than 100 bitcoin purchase transactions. The company continues deploying systematic equity programs to sustain prolonged accumulation objectives. These initiatives emphasize Strategy’s dedication to bitcoin as a core strategic reserve asset.

Cardano has moved back into focus after the Cardano Foundation approved a 300 million ADA governance plan, and traders watched key chart levels. ADA also tested an important Fibonacci retracement level while derivatives activity and spot volume increased.

The move placed governance and price action in the same frame. The Foundation backed the proposal as a tighter treasury limit, while the market tracked support near $0.2548 and resistance near $0.257 to $0.258.

Cardano Foundation Backs 300M ADA Governance ActionThe Cardano Foundation said it voted yes on the “Net Change Limit of 300 Million ada for Epochs 613–713” governance action. It said the proposed cap falls within its margin of acceptance and roughly matches 2025 treasury inflows.

In its rationale, the Foundation said the 300 million ADA figure aligns with about 306.9 million ADA in 2025 inflows. It also said the ecosystem ran a deficit in the 2025 NCL cycle, so a tighter 2026 limit remains acceptable.

The Foundation added that many approved treasury withdrawals have not yet resolved base-layer bottlenecks. It named TPS, finality, and throughput among the areas still facing pressure.

It also said the proposal keeps the budget cycle on a roughly 16.5-month timeline from Epoch 613 to 713. That shift moves the cycle away from the year-end holiday period and toward a mid-year schedule.

Treasury Limits and Constitutional Debate Remain CentralThe Foundation said the current 350 million ADA NCL for Epochs 613–713 remains constitutionally valid under the present language. At the same time, it said an affirmative Constitutional Committee vote on the new plan could reduce uncertainty around whether a valid NCL exists.

It urged Constitutional Committee members to clarify whether such a vote is required for an NCL. That point remains central because governance participants continue to examine process rules and the scope of committee approval.

The Foundation also said the new proposal would supersede the previously approved 350 million ADA NCL for the same period. It described that step as a move toward stricter fiscal discipline tied to treasury inflow data.

That approach sets the political angle for Cardano price prediction discussions. Traders now have a governance event that points to tighter spending conditions and a clearer budget path.

ADA Price Tests Support after Sharp RecoveryOn the market side, ADA tested the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement at $0.2614 after rebounding from the low-$0.24 area. Buyers regained control after a dip near $0.247, and the price climbed back above $0.255.

Open interest rose 3.87% to $428.45 million, while volume jumped 33.39% to $779.84 million. The rise followed news around Archax integration for EU-regulated tokenization.

The short-term chart showed a series of higher lows during the recovery phase. That structure pointed to improving intraday momentum as ADA tried to build support above the prior pivot zone.

The immediate support area formed near $0.2548, while the next resistance sat around $0.257 to $0.258. A move above that band could support another push higher toward the broader channel resistance near $0.27 to $0.29.

Trendline Break Keeps Sellers Active on the 4-hr ChartThe 4-hour ADAUSDT chart also showed a break below an ascending trendline that had supported the price since early February. That breakdown followed a rejection near the upper resistance zone around $0.30.

The ADA price later tried to stabilize below the broken trendline, but the structure remained fragile. Unless ADA reclaims that trendline and holds above it, the chart still points to downside pressure.

The red dotted ascending trendline was noted near $0.2458 as a lower support reference. If ADA loses the current recovery structure, the $0.250 to $0.247 range becomes the next area to watch.

Strategy disclosed a major Bitcoin purchase in a March 9 filing, adding 17,994 BTC to its balance sheet last week.

Summary

Strategy purchased 17,994 BTC for $1.28 billion, paying about $70,946 per coin. The company’s total bitcoin holdings now stand at 738,731 BTC. The purchase was funded mainly through $900 million in common stock sales and $377 million in preferred stock issuance. The company’s latest filing revealed that the Bitcoin (BTC) was acquired between March 2 and March 8 for about $1.28 billion, with an average purchase price of $70,946 per coin.

Following the purchase, Strategy’s total holdings reached 738,731 BTC, accumulated for roughly $56.04 billion at an average cost of $75,862 per bitcoin.

Stock sales used to fund the purchase The acquisition was largely financed through equity sales. Strategy sold 6.3 million shares of Class A common stock, generating about $900 million in net proceeds.

The company also issued 3.7 million shares of its Stretch preferred stock (STRC), raising an additional $377 million. Together, the transactions brought in roughly $1.3 billion, which was used to fund the latest bitcoin purchase.

Strategy still has significant room to raise additional capital through its at-the-market programs. The company reported that $6.7 billion remains available for future sales of MSTR shares, along with $20.3 billion tied to its Strike preferred stock (STRK) and $3.2 billion linked to the Stretch preferred series.

Shares of MSTR were slightly higher in pre-market trading following the disclosure.

Long-term Bitcoin strategy continues Strategy has steadily accumulated Bitcoin since 2020 under the leadership of executive chairman Michael Saylor, who has repeatedly said the company intends to keep buying the asset as part of its long-term treasury strategy.

The firm also updated its Omnibus Sales Agreement with a group of underwriters that includes TD Securities, Barclays Capital, and Morgan Stanley.

The revision allows Strategy to appoint a second sales agent for certain securities during pre-market and after-hours sessions. According to the filing, the change gives the company greater flexibility when executing large transactions outside regular trading hours.

Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin. The company has continued to increase its holdings through a mix of cash reserves, debt offerings, and equity sales.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) 50% drawdown reflects growing fears of an AI-driven credit shock rather than weakness in the crypto market itself. Bitcoin's AI-Triggered Credit Destruction Hayes argued in an interview with Cointelegraph that the decline reflects a broader macro risk tied to artificial intelligence and global geopolitics.

Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $67,000, while Ethereum (ETH) hovers just above $2,000 and XRP defends the $1.35 level following a week of significant liquidation pressure. Despite a risk-off macro environment driven by geopolitical instability and shifting liquidity conditions, these major assets have refused to break critical structural support.

This consolidation amid $459 million in recent liquidations presents a market paradox. While sentiment remains bearish, the refusal of the price to capitalize on negative catalysts suggests seller exhaustion may be setting in.

The resilience across the crypto complex highlights a disconnect between leverage-driven volatility and spot market demand. While long positions have been flushed out, the absence of sustained downward momentum below key technical floors implies that passive bid depth is absorbing the selling pressure. The crucial question for the week ahead is whether this stability represents a genuine accumulation phase or merely a pause before a deeper capitulation.

Good Morning ☀️

Not much happening across the #Crypto market at the moment. #Bitcoin continues to range, and we’re still holding the short from 74k.

One scenario I’m watching this week is a push back toward ~70k, followed by a rejection and a move down into key demand.

Here’s…

Macro Liquidity and Market Correlation Analysis The current price action cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader macroeconomic landscape. Risk assets are currently grappling with renewed geopolitical tensions and a shifting yield environment, factors that typically weigh heavily on crypto valuations. However, the correlation dynamics are showing signs of decoupling. While traditional tech indices have faced headwinds, the crypto market’s refusal to break lower suggests that specific liquidity conditions are overriding general macro correlation.

GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS AT SOME OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS WE’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. 🚨

Analysts monitoring these liquidity conditions note that the saturation of selling pressure often acts as a counter-indicator to prevailing bearish sentiment. The continued defense of the $64,000 level for Bitcoin serves as a proxy for risk appetite across the sector. If macro pressures were the sole driver, a breach of this support would likely have occurred during the peak of the recent liquidation cascade. Instead, the market is witnessing what appears to be a stress test of the asset class’s structural floor.

Forget Bitcoin, Here Are Key Support Levels to Watch for Ethereum and XRP Ethereum faces a similar pivotal moment to Bitcoin, holding support at $1,850. Technical analysis suggests that failure to defend this level opens a path toward $1,669. Conversely, a recovery above $2,200 is required to signal that the liquidation flush is complete.

XRP is currently trading in a decisive zone. The asset is defending and hovering above the $1.27 support, which aligns with the bear market floor. However, upside momentum faces a formidable wall between $1.76 and $1.80, where approximately 1.85 billion XRP are held. A breakout above $1.51 is mathematically necessary to confirm a trend reversal.

The outlook for the coming weeks depends on the resolution of the current capitulation signals. For XRP, the intersection of the SOPR capitulation signal and historical seasonal strength in March presents a compelling case for potential recovery.
