The company’s lofty aim is simple: boost share‑holder value and engagement while tightening the romantic bond between investor perks and actual Bitcoin holdings.

The plan? Lift all sanctions on Iran, pinky swear not to reimpose them, and then politely ask Iran to pretend its nuclear program is just a very expensive science fair project.

In case you missed it, Bernstein has declared that Bitcoin might have just hit its recent low. And guess what? They’re still clinging to their $150,000 price target for 2026. All this optimism comes after Bitcoin decided to take a little tumble.

So, here we are, five months into this financial soap opera, and Bitcoin’s short-term holders are still staring at their screens like they’ve just been ghosted by their crypto crush. On-chain data?

Recent buyers are holding coins like they’re waiting for a bus that may never come-and at prices higher than today’s market value. Ouch.
This initiative is not merely a ploy; it is a full-throttle escalation in the firm’s treasury operations.
