- •Bitcoin recovered to $73,000 on Monday after a nearly 4% weekend drop.

- •Strategy bought 13,927 BTC for $1B using preferred stock issuance, not equity dilution.
Full Recovery in 48 Hours
Bitcoin (BTC) has reclaimed the $73,000 level, fully erasing a near-4% weekend drop during Monday's U.S. trading session. BTC was changing hands at around $73,400 at the U.S. stock market close, up more than 3% over 24 hours. Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP also posted gains, though slightly smaller than BTC's.
What Sparked the Selloff
The trigger was geopolitical. Reports that U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance had left Pakistan without an Iran peace deal — combined with news of President Trump ordering a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — hit markets Saturday night. WTI crude oil surged past $105 per barrel at one point Sunday before retreating to $98 by Monday.
The Nasdaq climbed 1.2%, and risk appetite returned across assets, pulling bitcoin up with it.
2026's Recurring Pattern
Weekend panics followed by Monday reversals have become a defining feature of 2026 markets. Thin weekend liquidity amplifies geopolitical shocks, while institutional flows on Monday tend to absorb and reverse the move. This week's action fits that template precisely.
Crypto-related equities led gains: Circle (CRCL) surged 11%, Gemini (GEMI) rose 9%, and MARA Holdings and Bullish (BLSH) each gained just over 8%.
Strategy Keeps Buying
Apart from Middle East turbulence, Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) continued its relentless bitcoin accumulation. The firm purchased 13,927 BTC for $1 billion last week — notably without issuing common stock. Instead, it raised the funds through $1 billion in STRC preferred stock at an 11.5% yield, preserving equity while maintaining leverage.
