MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor Embraces Bitcoin Ordinals and BRC-20 Tokens Amidst Community Debate.

  • Wechat scan to share

Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has become one of the few Bitcoin maximalists to publicly embrace Ordinals. Ordinal inscriptions are similar to NFTs and allow for arbitrary and non-financial information, such as images, to be included on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Saylor sees economically sound use cases for Ordinals, but also acknowledges the potential for unethical and silly uses. Despite warnings and pushback from parts of the community, Saylor is against censoring Ordinal transactions on the Bitcoin network and believes in letting the free market function.

  • Powell signals support for further rate cuts as U.S. job market cools

    Federal Reserve Chairman Powell warned on Tuesday that the U.S. labor market is showing further signs of distress, suggesting he may be prepared to support another rate cut later this month. Powell pointed out, "The downside risks to employment have increased." This is the strongest hint so far that Fed officials believe they have enough evidence to support another 25 basis point cut in U.S. borrowing costs. Powell added that even without new data from the Labor Department (delayed due to the government shutdown), private sector employment indicators and internal Fed research provide enough reason to suggest that the labor market is cooling off. "The available evidence" suggests that "layoffs and hiring are still low," while "household perceptions of job opportunities and businesses' perceptions of hiring difficulties continue to decline." These comments indicate that Powell is becoming more dovish on monetary policy.

  • Analysis: MicroStrategy’s BTC purchases offset German government selling pressure

    Some analysts believe that the German government's massive sale of Bitcoin is the reason for the sluggish cryptocurrency market. In addition, traders are concerned that the stock market may have peaked and that the US fiscal situation is weakening. According to previous monitoring by the on-chain crypto analysis company Arkham, a wallet related to the German government transferred 6,500 BTC to exchanges on June 19th, worth $425 million at the time. The wallet holds nearly 50,000 BTC, reportedly seized from the pirated movie website Movie2k that has been operating since 2013. Data shows that these BTC were sent to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. However, MicroStrategy disclosed that it has purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, which offsets the selling pressure.
