This marks a clear retreat from the corporate Bitcoin treasury playbook that gained traction earlier in the cycle.The company confirmed it ended daily Bitcoin purchases in December 2025 and will not pursue further acquisitions. While Prenetics will retain its existing Bitcoin holdings, the strategic shift reflects a broader reassessment unfolding across public companies after Bitcoin’s late-2025 drawdown.Bitcoin Bear Market is Making Public Firms Think TwiceBitcoin’s sharp decline in November and December 2025 weighed heavily on companies using balance sheets to gain…
Analysts see Bitcoin entering 2026 supported by long-term demand but constrained by macro and derivatives pressure. Bitcoin (BTC) opened 2026 trading near $88,000 as analysts and traders weighed whether the market is building toward a breakout or settling into another year of wide but directionless swings. The debate matters because growing ETF access and corporate buying now sit alongside macro pressure and heavy derivatives trading, creating a setup where large moves are possible but difficult to sustain. Analysts Map Out Bitcoin’s Most Likely 2026 Path An assessment shared by XWIN Research Japan described Bitcoin’s current structure as a high-volatility range…
Bitcoin is closing out 2025 near $87,000, ending the year in a narrow trading range after months of fading momentum. Thin holiday liquidity and a lack of fresh catalysts left the market drifting into the final session of the year, capping a period marked less by explosive gains than by consolidation and unmet expectations. At the time of writing, bitcoin was trading just below $88,000, roughly flat over the past week and modestly lower than where it began the year. The price has spent much of December oscillating between the low $80,000s and the high $80,000s, with repeated attempts to…

Top altcoins, especially, have lost significant momentum despite similar year-end conditions. Volatility Vanishes Santiment said crypto trading activity has slowed sharply in the final weeks of 2025, as prices remain range-bound and holiday season distractions keep traders away. According to the analytics firm, Bitcoin and…

Despite reaching $126,000, Bitcoin’s late-year sell-off led to its first post-halving annual loss. Bitcoin closed out 2025 with a rare annual loss. This was the first time in history that the world’s largest cryptocurrency ended a post-halving year in the red. After the April 2024 halving, which traditionally sets the stage for strong gains in the following 12-18 months, BTC rallied to a new all-time high above $126,000 in October before reversing sharply in the final months of the year. ETFs, Macro Pressure, and a Broken Cycle According to market data, Bitcoin finished 2025 lower than where it started, as…
Artificial intelligence in 2025 was less about flashy demos and more about hard questions. What actually works? What breaks in unexpected ways? And what are the environmental and economic costs of scaling these systems further?It was a year in which generative AI slipped from novelty into routine use. Many people got accustomed to using AI tools on the job, getting their answers from AI search, and confiding in chatbots, for better or for worse. It was a year in which the tech giants hyped up their AI agents, and the general public seemed generally uninterested in using them. AI slop…

When Google released its newest AI image model Nano Banana Pro (aka Gemini 3 Pro Image) in November, it reset expectations for the entire field. For the first time, uses of an image model could use natural language to generate dense, text-heavy infographics, slides, and other enterprise-grade visuals without spelling errors. But that leap forward came with a familiar tradeoff. Gemini 3 Pro Image is deeply proprietary, tightly bound to Google’s cloud stack, and priced for premium usage. For enterprises that need predictable costs, deployment sovereignty, or regional localization, the model raised the bar without offering many viable alternatives.Alibaba’s Qwen…
