The post Bitcoin at risk of a 51% attack from two miners appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Foundry USA and AntPool now control over half of Bitcoin’s hash power. Bitcoin price is slipping toward $110,530, a crucial support level. Macro fears and Fed shifts add pressure to already weak crypto markets. After Monero’s 51% takeover, two Bitcoin mining pools have sparked fears of a potential 51% attack on Bitcoin. Notably, the developments have raised critical questions about the security of the Bitcoin network and the stability of the wider crypto market. Also, the concerns over mining centralisation have intensified just as BTC faces steep price declines and broader macroeconomic pressures. Two mining pools dominate Bitcoin’s hash power Two major mining pools, Foundry USA and AntPool, now control more than half of Bitcoin’s total computing power. JUST IN: 🚨 Bitcoin is now at risk of a 51% attack as two mining pools control over 51% of the hash power. pic.twitter.com/QKkMziOy1C — Leo Lanza | ETHisDigitalOil.eth (@l3olanza) August 19, 2025 Foundry even mined eight consecutive blocks in a row, an event that is extremely rare and has heightened fears of network centralization. With over 51% of the hash power concentrated in just two entities, experts warn that Bitcoin is technically vulnerable to a 51% attack. In such a scenario, the dominant miners could potentially reorganize blocks, censor transactions, or undermine trust in the network. While such an attack would be extremely costly and perhaps self-defeating, the centralization trend has raised red flags across the community. Rising empty blocks and collapsing fees Alongside the hash power imbalance, analysts have noted an increase in the number of empty blocks being mined. Empty blocks generate lower transaction fees, which has led to collapsing revenues for miners and less efficient network usage. This situation has further fueled concerns about the long-term sustainability of the Bitcoin ecosystem, particularly as users demand greater efficiency from…

SEC Delays on Truth Social Crypto ETFs Stir Market Interest The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has delayed decisions on several ETF applications tied to Truth Social, including Bitcoin and Ethereum funds, as well as proposed XRP and Litecoin ETFs.

The crypto wallet, which is followed by Onchain Lens, received $2.34 million USDC on Arbitrum in the past 73 minutes.  The whale has further deposited $2.34M $USDC into #Hyperliquid to increase long positions in $BTC, $ETH, and $PUMP.There are still open orders to extend these positions further.https://t.co/uMtaYvQcEG https://t.co/lCoX8XBWOp pic.twitter.com/l8UlOxadSl— Onchain Lens (@OnchainLens) August 19, 2025 This recent step comes after previous deposits of 1 million USDC and 350,000 USDC on the same platform, highlighting the powerful intention to establish leveraged stratifications in long positions. Strategic Positions in BTC, ETH, and PUMP Transaction information indicates that the whale has longed on the positions in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and PUMP. Previously, it had reported long position allocation of 25x on ETH, 40x on BTC, and 5x on PUMP.  The newest deposit of 2.34 million brings the whale to a total of above 4.1 million active perpetuals on Hyperliquid. This aggressive exposure highlights the capability of great surety that market dynamics will align to support the vertical inclination of these assets. Crypto Whale Activity Signals Growing Confidence The frequency of deposit implies that the whale is laddering into orders instead of making one bet with a huge sum. The strategy is generally indicative of both risk hedging and of a firm faith in continued price increases.  It is worth mentioning that the activity of the whale has caught the attention of other market players on-chain, and the analysts suppose that the movement of the whale can affect the mood of the entire market.  As Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to hold important market momentum, the whale is moving in the trend of heightened speculation of a possible race.

The post Strategy loyalists sell MSTR, say Michael Saylor lied about dilution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. One of the top Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) influencers has sold his position and called founder Michael Saylor a liar. Josh Mandell, who has over 140,000 followers on X and is frequently praised in subreddits like r/MSTR as a key voice on the company, went viral today after claiming that Strategy executives have reneged on solemn forward guidance. As previously reported by Protos, Saylor decided to modify slide 96 of the company’s July 31 earnings presentation. Critically, he changed the company’s guidance to not dilute common (MSTR) shareholders while MSTR trades at a multiple-to-Net Asset Value (mNAV) between 1x and 2.5x. Yesterday morning, Saylor added a third, catch-all exception beyond servicing interest and dividend payments. According to the new slide, Strategy may now dilute MSTR between a 1x and 2.5x mNAV “when otherwise deemed advantageous to the company.” MNAV is the extra value that investors place on Strategy’s enterprise value above its bitcoin (BTC) holdings. As of publication time, its Enterprise Value is 1.55x the value of its $71.4 billion worth of BTC. Albeit impressive, that premium has halved since November 20, 2024.  As months have passed, loyalists like Mandell became fed up with the lengthy decline and the downside decoupling of MSTR from the price of BTC.

Mandell initially gained fame by predicting that the price of BTC would rally to $84,000 on a precise day — March 14, 2025 — which it duly did. He continued to gain prominence after buying and commenting on MSTR, the world’s most popular BTC treasury stock. Other…
