Backlash Erupts as Saylor’s MicroStrategy Heightens Bitcoin Volatility Exposure

Backlash Erupts as Saylor’s MicroStrategy Heightens Bitcoin Volatility Exposure

The post Backlash Erupts as Saylor’s MicroStrategy Heightens Bitcoin Volatility Exposure appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MicroStrategy, the largest Bitcoin (BTC) corporate holder, is facing mounting backlash. This follows Executive Chair Michael Saylor’s announcement of a now-controversial update to the company’s equity issuance policy. The move removes a long-standing safeguard that prevented the firm from selling stock below a 2.5x multiple of its net asset value (mNAV), a measure designed to protect shareholders from dilution. Investor Trust Shaken as MicroStrategy Prioritizes “Flexibility” Over Safeguards In an August 18 post, Saylor said the company updated its MSTR Equity ATM Guidance to provide greater flexibility in executing our capital markets strategy. Strategy today announced an update to its MSTR Equity ATM Guidance to provide greater flexibility in executing our capital markets strategy. pic.twitter.com/xSwwcWubIq — Michael Saylor (@saylor) August 18, 2025 While framed as a step toward strategic agility, the change has ignited anger among investors. Based on community feedback on X (Twitter), users accuse Saylor of breaking promises and eroding confidence in MicroStrategy’s governance. More closely, critics say the adjustment effectively grants management the ability to issue shares whenever it sees fit, regardless of valuation. For many, this represents a sharp departure from earlier commitments. “Saylor pulled the rug. I’ve been warning people for months that he is a sleezy, corrupt fraud. He lied to investors and promised $MSTR wouldn’t issue stock below 2.5x mNAV,” wrote WhaleWire CEO and financial analyst Jacob King. According to King, the move comes after MicroStrategy’s premium crashed from 3.4x to 1.6x since November 2024. This crash, King alleges, prompted Saylor to restructure in favor of management flexibility. “What does it mean? He can now dilute shareholders anytime it benefits him. This was never about Bitcoin; it’s about Saylor cashing in,” King added. Other investors echoed the sentiment, highlighting that during Strategy’s earnings call, Michael Saylor said they would not ATM the common…

XRP Price Slides — Analysts Say This Is the Perfect Entry Window for MAGACOIN FINANCE Presale

XRP Price Slides — Analysts Say This Is the Perfect Entry Window for MAGACOIN FINANCE Presale

The post XRP Price Slides — Analysts Say This Is the Perfect Entry Window for MAGACOIN FINANCE Presale appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has seen its fair share of swings in 2025, and XRP has been right in the middle of it. Traders have been watching closely as XRP price slides below the $3 mark, wiping out a chunk of recent gains. At the same time, fresh ETF delays in the United States are adding uncertainty to XRP’s outlook.

At least eight high-profile proposals—including filings from Grayscale, WisdomTree, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and others—are waiting on SEC decisions. The final deadlines are clustered in late October 2025, meaning traders face months of uncertainty before clarity arrives.

Want 0% Tax on Crypto? Top 7 Destinations for European Citizens

Want 0% Tax on Crypto? Top 7 Destinations for European Citizens

The post Want 0% Tax on Crypto? Top 7 Destinations for European Citizens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: Most people believe they’re stuck paying 20-50% crypto tax Residency and record-keeping matter far more than your passport. Many EU, EEA, and adjacent countries offer full or partial crypto tax exemptions Crypto investors often wrongly assume they’re trapped paying high taxes on their digital assets. But if your government is currently siphoning off half your crypto wealth, the good news is that, as a European citizen, you can vote with your feet and reduce your crypto tax burden to zero. Your tax jurisdiction doesn’t depend on where you’re born, but on where you reside. As ‘Master Builder of Generational Wealth in Crypto’, Alex Mason, explains: By strategically relocating to optimize your residency status, you can reduce your crypto tax burden to zero. Becoming a tax resident in a crypto-friendly country typically means you need to spend less than 183 days a year (around six months) in your homeland, since most countries only consider you a resident if you spend more than half the year on their soil. You’ll also need a degree of flexibility and a willingness to try something new (like pasteis de nata or Bratwurst, since Portugal and Germany are high on the list). If you’re up for the challenge and have always wanted to relocate, check out the top seven crypto-friendly tax destinations. 1. Germany: Best for Long-Term HODLers The land of the lederhosen and sausages, Germany charges its residents 0% tax on crypto gains when held for over 12 months. This makes it an appealing choice for long-term holders but a nightmare for frequent traders: selling before one year incurs regular income tax of up to 45%. Staking is taxed as income, and you’ll need to keep meticulous records since German bureaucracy is notorious. But with no wealth tax or need to declare sales…

Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce

Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce

According to reports, Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell 4.50% in the past 24 hours as the wider market moved sideways. The token’s seven-day retracement likewise sits at 4.50%, and it is down about 35.5% year-to-date while trading outside the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. At the time of reporting, SHIB’s market price was $0.00001261. Related Reading: After Monero Hit, Qubic Group Puts Dogecoin On Target List Shiba Inu Weekly Support Levels Hold Analyst MMB Trader has pointed to two weekly support lines at $0.000010 and $0.000007 that have repeatedly absorbed selling pressure. SHIB dropped to $0.00000714 in July 2022 after an 88% fall from its 2021 peak of $0.00008854, and buyers pushed it back up. The popular memecoin came back to that area in June and October 2023 and regained footing. This year, the token revisited around $0.000010 in March, April, and June and bounced each time. Those moves suggest there are price zones where demand has shown up. Analyst’s Targets And Recent History Based on reports, the analyst laid out a step-up of targets if SHIB clears its descending trendline. The first target is $0.00003364, a close to 170% rise from $0.00001249 at the time of reporting. The next level is $0.00005480, an increase of approximately 330%, and a distance benchmark at $0.00007716 suggests around 500% increase. SHIB’s own past provides some background: it climbed from $0.00000967 to $0.00004567 on March 5, 2024, on a meme-coin frenzy, and regained to $0.00003343 in December 2024 before again retreating. Models also give more modest short-term views; one forecast puts SHIB at $0.00001324 by September 17, 2025. Big swings have happened here before, but they came with heavy volume and wide attention. Related Reading: XRP’s Toughest Bull Run Could Lead To Big Gains, Analyst Claims Market Snapshot And Close Current sentiment measures look mixed. The Fear & Greed Index reads 60, which sits in the Greed zone, while technical indicators show a Bearish tilt at the moment. SHIB recorded 14/30 green days (47%) and roughly 7.02% price volatility over the last 30 days. Traders should note that those readings can flip quickly. If weekly support holds and a catalyst pushes volume up, the mood could shift. If those supports fail, the picture could darken fast. Meanwhile, volume and on-chain flows will be crucial going forward. A breakout candle that lacks rising volume may not last. Watch exchange inflows and whale transfers because large moves onto exchanges often precede selling. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
