Bitcoin breaks above $80,000; MicroStrategy starts showing an unrealized profit of $3.926 billion; analysts say a return to $100,000 is just around the corner


Bitcoin rebounds strongly, breaking above $80,000. ETH follows the rally, pushes past $2,400, then slightly pulls back and is currently quoted at $2,391. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) currently holds a total of 818,334 BTC; its market value has returned above $65 billion, and it has begun to turn profitable. It is now valued at $65.74 billion, with an average cost of $75,537, and an unrealized profit of $3.926 billion.
In the past 4 hours, liquidations across the entire market totaled $230 million. The bulk were short liquidations: short liquidations totaled $220 million, while long liquidations were $7.93 million. However, Strategy founder Michael Saylor disclosed yesterday that it will pause this week’s routine Bitcoin purchase plan—this is the second time this year it has paused weekly accumulation.
U.S. listed stocks in crypto-related concept sectors rose across the board. Circle is up more than 5%, Coinb is up nearly 3%, Strategy (MSTR) is up more than 2%, and MSTR’s single-day gain reached 7.08%. The price performance of related listed companies has been significantly stronger than Bitcoin’s own gains, reflecting both the leverage effect and the amplification of market sentiment.
It is reported that Strategy is expected to release its Q1 results on Tuesday. Market expectations call for an 18.98 loss per share, higher than last year’s 16.38 loss for the same period. Bitcoin’s return to $100,000 isn’t missing the story—it’s just a matter of time! Renowned Wall Street analyst Michael van de Poppe pointed out that the market doesn’t need to be overly fixated on finding new narratives, because “price increases naturally create narratives.”
Although early this year the AI industry pulled in a large amount of capital, and veteran traders believe the CLARITY Act is unlikely to trigger a major breakout surge; but White House advisers have already leaked a preview that the Trump administration will release major news within weeks regarding the “U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve”—which may become the ultimate shock to ignite the next leg of the bull market.
From 2018 to 2019, after Bitcoin kept falling for 6 months, it began a 5-month streak of consecutive gains. In 2025 to 2026, after Bitcoin kept falling for 5 months, it has already been in a 3-month streak of consecutive gains. Will history repeat itself? It’s something to look forward to…

#Gate广场五月交易分享 Bitcoin breaks through 80k, MicroStrategy begins to lock in floating gains of 3.926 billion USD, and analysts predict a return to 100k is just around the corner

Bitcoin makes a strong rebound, surging past 80,000 USD. After ETH follows and breaks above 2,400, it then pulls back slightly—currently quoted at 2,391. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) currently holds a total of 818,334 BTC; its market value has returned to above 65 billion USD and it has started generating profits. It is now valued at 65.74 billion USD, with an average cost of 75,537 USD, and currently shows an unrealized gain of 3.926 billion USD.
Over the past 4 hours, liquidations across the entire market totaled 230 million USD. The major liquidations were from short liquidations, with short liquidations totaling 220 million USD, and long liquidations liquidated at 7.93 million USD. However, Strategy’s founder Michael Saylor disclosed yesterday that it will pause this week’s routine Bitcoin purchase plan—this is the second time this year it has paused weekly accumulation.
U.S. stocks’ crypto-related concept sector is broadly up. Circle is up more than 5%, Coinb is up nearly 3%, and Strategy (MSTR) is up more than 2%. MSTR’s intraday gain reaches 7.08%. The stock-price performance of related listed companies has significantly outpaced Bitcoin’s own rise, reflecting both the leverage effect and amplified market sentiment.
It is reported that Strategy is expected to release its Q1 earnings on Tuesday. Market expectations are for a loss of 18.98 USD per share, higher than last year’s loss of 16.38 USD for the same period.

Even though earlier this year the AI industry has siphoned off a large amount of capital, and veteran traders believe the CLARITY Act is hard to ignite a surge; meanwhile, White House advisors have leaked in advance that the Trump administration will release major news within the next few weeks regarding the “U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve,” which may become the ultimate shock to ignite the next leg of the bull market.
