3. MicroStrategy's Continuous Buying Rhythm Interrupted, Market Focuses on Subsequent Financing
According to reports, MicroStrategy has not announced a new round of buying plans this week after consecutively announcing Bitcoin purchases for 13 weeks. Previously, the company had just proposed a large-scale financing arrangement aimed at further enhancing its ability to buy Bitcoin.

4. Powell Downplays Internal Disagreements, Signals Flexibility in Policy
According to the latest statements, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell believes that divergences in policy are normal in a phase where job weakness and inflationary risks coexist. He also mentioned that he previously did not anticipate implementing quantitative easing and hinted that he does not rule out the possibility of restarting related tools in the future, but emphasized that the Treasury has never requested the Federal Reserve to stop supporting the government bond market. Overall, this statement reflects the Federal Reserve's intention to maintain higher policy flexibility in a complex macro environment, and risk assets will continue to be driven by liquidity expectations.
5. Powell Claims Tariffs Boost One-Time Inflation, Market Focuses on Interest Rates and Liquidity Expectations
Powell further stated that there is tension between the Federal Reserve's dual objectives, and studies generally believe that purchasing long-term assets helps to lower interest rates and support the economy, with no significant inflationary evidence from past bond purchases. He pointed out that inflation brought about by tariffs resembles a one-time price increase, which could push the inflation rate up by 0.5 to 1 percentage points, while reiterating that the committee is committed to achieving a 2% inflation target. For the crypto market, the inflation trajectory and easing expectations remain key variables affecting BTC and risk appetite.
