🚀 Major Moves in the Crypto: What Web3 Founders Need to Know

The latest market shifts and regulatory developments present both challenges and opportunities for Web3 founders. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

🔹 Regulatory Clarity is Coming – With the Senate advancing crypto-friendly bills, Web3 startups should stay informed and align with emerging regulations. Compliance will be a key competitive advantage (Source).

☑️ Post-Inauguration Crypto Check: Where Are We Now?

Since President Trump took office, the crypto market has experienced major ups & downs, driven by new policies and economic shifts.

🔹 Crypto Strategic Reserve
The U.S. government announced a reserve including BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, & XRP. The announcement initially caused a price jump for these assets, but since then, the market has faced a downward trend, partly due to overall selling pressure in the financial markets (Source)

🔹 Economic Policies Impact
The administration's unpredictable decisions, including discussions about a possible economic slowdown & new crypto policies, have influenced investor confidence and made investors cautious (Source)

🔹 Bitcoin’s Price Drops
BTC hit a 4month low of $76,867 & remains 26% below its all-time high, raising concerns about the market’s direction. Investors were expecting stronger support for the industry, but concerns over tariffs and economic policies have contributed to a negative trend in the market (Source)

BlackRock Now Owns 5% of Strategy!

Current State
BlackRock has increased its stake in Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) from 4.09% to 5% by purchasing an additional 1.78M shares, bringing its total holding to 11.26M shares ($3.67 billion at the current share price).

🟢This move coincides with Strategy's ongoing accumulation of Bitcoin.

🟢Strategy now holds 471,107 BTC, valued at over $46B, despite reporting a net loss of $670.8M.

🟢The 5% ownership threshold required BlackRock to file a Schedule 13G with the SEC, a form used by institutional investors who do not intend to influence the company’s management.

What’s next
As Strategy aggressively accumulates BTC, investors should watch DC's policy shifts and economic signals, which are likely to drive crypto performance in the coming months.

TradFi and BTC strength is clearly the main driver that is keeping the total market cap above $3T.

Trump’s ‘Crypto Czar’ Weighs Bitcoin Reserve Amid Wealth Fund Plans

President Trump’s newly appointed “crypto czar” David Sacks outlined the administration’s pro-crypto agenda, confirming that evaluating a strategic Bitcoin reserve is a top priority.

However, Sacks clarified that the sovereign wealth fund, established via Trump’s recent executive order, is a separate initiative and that Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick would lead its development.

🟢The sovereign wealth fund aims to monetize US government assets for national priorities.
🟢Analysts speculated that Bitcoin could be included as a strategic investment.
🟢CoinShares’ James Butterfill compared it to Norway’s oil-funded investments, arguing that Bitcoin’s inclusion makes sense given the fund’s objectives and the administration’s crypto-friendly stance.
🟢While the reserve and the fund remain distinct, some believe they could serve dual purposes in shaping US fiscal policy.

Strategy’s $21B Stock Offering to Buy BTC

State of play
Michael Saylor's Strategy (MSTR) has launched a $21B at-the-market (ATM) offering of its Series A preferred stock (STRK) to fund further bitcoin purchases.

🟢This move comes after a brief pause in acquisitions, with the company currently holding nearly 500,000 BTC, worth approximately $42B.

🟢Bitcoin rose to $83,000 following the news, recovering from a Sunday dip to $80,000.

🟢MSTR shares dropped 5.5% in premarket trading and are down 50% from their late November peak.

Why it matters
Even with this announcement, the price of Bitcoin did not react significantly, meaning that macro forces are still at play and there’s just not much appetite for risk-on assets.

Senator Lummis’ Bitcoin ACT is one interesting piece of legislation to watch.

$500M ETH Liquidations in February Crash

Market Recap:
The market is in complete disarray last couple of weeks. Memecoins are seemingly dead, with PumpFun volume plummeting 94% over the past week. Meanwhile, legacy coins and industry giants are competing for a seat at the White House crypto summit this Friday — some flaunting their lobbying influence, while others openly criticizing the current trajectory of the industry.

February 2025 saw Ethereum lending markets suffer $500M in liquidations, the second-largest monthly event in DeFi history after the May 2021 crash ($670B). The downturn led to mass liquidations of Aave and Compound.

🟢Despite the scale, DeFi protocols remained stable, demonstrating resilience under stress.

Meanwhile, Bybit recorded its largest-ever long liquidations, totaling $1.4B in a week, with $383M on Feb. 25 alone as BTC and ETH dropped over 18% and 26%. Unlike other CEXs, Bybit fully discloses liquidation data, making its figures appear higher.

Ken Griffin, the founder of Citadel LLC, is steering his firm into crypto trading by potentially entering as a market maker on major exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

🟢Griffin is a former crypto skeptic who once derided Bitcoin as “a jihadist call” against the dollar.

🟢He urged the Trump administration to establish clearer crypto guidelines that would help curb fraud and enable institutional participation.

🟢Griffin expressed optimism that allowing tier-one players to participate in crypto markets could help stabilize and “clean up” the industry, despite maintaining some skepticism about crypto’s fundamental value proposition.

Strategy Offers $2B Convertible Note

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) announced a $2B convertible senior notes offering with 0% interest to fund future Bitcoin acquisitions and support general corporate purposes.

🟢The notes will be maturing on March 1, 2030.

🟢The notes may be settled in cash, class A common stock, or a combination thereof, with initial purchasers granted options to buy up to an additional $300M in notes within five business days.

🟢This announcement came just hours after the company issued a profitability warning following a $1.79B impairment loss on its Bitcoin holdings.

🟢The firm cautioned that further significant declines in Bitcoin's market value could jeopardize its ability to meet financial obligations.

🟢In 2024, Strategy expanded its BTC portfolio, now holding approximately 478,740 BTC valued at over $46B.

Why it matters
With a 0% interest rate and multiple settlement options, the offering is designed to attract investors seeking exposure to digital assets without immediate interest costs, potentially influencing similar financing strategies across the sector.

The convertible note offers potential upside if Bitcoin rebounds, but investors should be wary of the associated risks.

🚀 Do your customers care about #AI lable? New Study Says… Not Really.

AI is everywhere, but does slapping "AI-powered" on your product actually make customers want to pay more? 🤔

A recent study tested this by showing 767 U.S. consumers two versions of product landing pages—one highlighting AI, the other just focusing on value. Here’s what happened:

💰 Willingness to Pay ($/month):
Intuit: $10.1 → $11.5 (small AI boost)
Microsoft: $11.2 → $11.3 (no real change)
Superhuman: $6.6 → $9.1 (AI won big)
Zendesk: $13.6 → $13.1 (AI actually reduced perceived value)

Key Takeaways:
🔹 Customers don’t always associate AI with “better”—trust in AI-powered tools was rated lower (52/100) than non-AI versions (54/100).
🔹 AI pricing premium is small—on average, AI-labeled products only got a ~$1 price bump.
🔹 AI fatigue is real—people feel the term is overused and vague.

🚀 Big Ideas 2025: a16z’s Vision for the Future of Tech

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) just dropped their annual Big Ideas in Tech report, and as always, it’s a must-read for anyone watching where innovation is headed. We’ve gone through the key takeaways—here’s what you need to know.

🔹 AI: From Hype to Real-World Impact
AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a core business strategy. 83% of companies are already using or planning to integrate AI, but here’s the real shift: single-model solutions are out, and multi-model AI systems are taking over. Companies are investing $5-7M on average in AI transformation, proving that businesses are moving beyond experiments to full-scale adoption.

🔹 Fintech: AI-First or Nothing
Unlike the AI boom in other sectors, fintech is seeing fewer but more targeted innovations. The biggest trends? Native AI-powered financial products and the automation of compliance and risk management. Startups that embed AI at their core will likely dominate the next wave of fintech disruption.

🔹 Biotech, Robotics & Hardware Are Having a Moment
For years, software ate the world. Now? Hard tech is making a comeback. a16z is betting big on biotech, robotics, and hardware startups, predicting a surge in investments and breakthroughs in these fields. If you’re building in deep tech, this might be your time.

🔹 The End of "Google It"
Younger generations are shifting away from traditional search engines. The phrase “Google it” is fading, and while “GPT it” hasn’t taken over yet, the transition is already happening. AI-powered search assistants are redefining how we access information.

Takeaway for Startup Founders?
🚀 Multi-model AI is the new standard.
🚀 Fintech must be AI-native to stay competitive.
🚀 Deep tech is back—biotech, robotics, and hardware are prime for disruption.
🚀 AI search will reshape online behavior (goodbye, SEO as we know it?).

The future is being built right now. Are you ready?
