2417: A $114 Million Bitcoin Hack Just Escalated - Why the Hackers Can't Cash Out

Trump Media has moved ahead of Tesla in reported Bitcoin holdings after disclosing approximately 14,139 BTC as of July 31, including pledged coins, worth roughly $890 million. Tesla holds 11,509 BTC, marking another major shift in the corporate Bitcoin treasury leaderboard. We break down Trump Media's continued accumulation, the massive Bitcoin positions already controlled by Strategy, public companies, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and governments, and why corporate competition for BTC could intensify as more balance sheets enter the market. The leaderboard can keep changing, but Bitcoin's maximum supply remains fixed at 21 million. 📺 Prefer video? Watch daily Bitcoin breakdowns: http://BitcoinNewsAlerts.net

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says a 1% Bitcoin allocation from institutions managing up to $200 trillion could help drive BTC toward $1.3 million by 2035. That represents a potential $2 trillion allocation competing for an asset permanently capped at 21 million coins. Meanwhile, MARA sold 23,093 BTC during the first half of 2026 for roughly $1.6 billion, while Strategy sold another 1,690 BTC for roughly $109 million. We break down why those sales aren't necessarily the bearish signal they appear to be, Strategy's remaining 840,447 BTC reserve, Strive continuing to accumulate, and the institutional demand equation that could ultimately matter far more than today's selling headlines. 📺 Prefer video?
