Eric Weiss, founder and chief investment officer of Blockchain Investment Group, spoke out this week on social media platform X to highlight bitcoin’s potential as a resilient asset amid rising geopolitical instability and volatile financial markets. As global equities decline under the weight of trade tensions, Weiss pointed to the unique qualities of bitcoin, arguing it offers investors a mathematical alternative unburdened by traditional risks. He stated: As the tariff war escalates and stocks bleed, Wall Street will eventually realize there’s an alternative: bitcoin. No earnings risk. No geopolitics. Just math. The moment capital truly pivots, BTC doesn’t just hold up, it outperforms dramatically. Weiss also disputed the notion that bitcoin’s behavior mirrors the equity market, predicting a sharp break in correlation. “Bitcoin’s recent correlation with equities won’t last. A divergence is coming and it won’t be subtle,” he opined. His message reflects a broader view emerging among bitcoin advocates that the digital asset is maturing into an independent asset class, capable of acting as a hedge against systemic economic and political shocks. This sentiment was echoed by Michael Saylor, executive chairman of software intelligence firm Microstrategy (Nasdaq: MSTR), which recently rebranded as Strategy. On April 4, Saylor offered similar comments about bitcoin’s divergence from risk-on assets. “Bitcoin trades like a risk asset short term because it’s the most liquid, salable, 24/7 asset on Earth. In times of panic, traders sell what they can, not what they want to. Doesn’t mean it’s correlated long-term—just means it’s always available,” he explained. Weiss and Saylor, along with many others in the crypto industry, also drew attention to bitcoin’s insulation from protectionist trade policies, especially as President Donald Trump reimposed tariffs on a large number of countries. “There are no tariffs on bitcoin,” Weiss noted. The statement has become a rallying point for digital asset supporters who argue that bitcoin’s lack of borders and centralized control shields it from the types of economic constraints affecting traditional investments. Proponents argue that bitcoin’s design and independence make it increasingly appealing in a climate shaped by tariffs, trade wars, and monetary intervention. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Bitwise Asset Management has launched three active options strategy ETFs tracking crypto stocks: MicroStrategy (MSTR), Coinbase (COIN), and Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA). The ETFs are called IMST, ICOI, and IMRA, respectively. What’s interesting is that they all rely on a “covered call” strategy, a way to make money from stock volatility without having to constantly buy and sell like a day trader. More specifically, this strategy involves selling out-of-the-money call options while still holding the underlying stock. This strategy is to generate regular income while still being able to enjoy the upside of the stock, albeit not to its full potential. “Crypto is well known historically both for its performance and its high volatility,” said Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley. He added: “That volatility presents a unique opportunity to generate income. We’re thrilled to expand the Bitwise suite with IMST, ICOI, and IMRA to enable investors to capitalize on that volatility.” In other words, if people are usually afraid of the ups and downs of crypto asset prices, Bitwise actually sees it as a potential source of income. They don’t try to avoid it, but instead develop a strategy to ‘ride the wave.’ These new ETFs are managed by Jeff Park, Head of Alpha Strategy at Bitwise, and his team. They don’t just sit back. This portfolio is actively monitored, including by paying attention to market news, option prices, sentiment, and capital inflows. They adjust their strategy every time so that investors can still enjoy income while still being involved in the movement of crypto-related stocks. However, it is important to note that this ETF does not give you direct ownership of MSTR, COIN, or MARA shares. So, don’t expect to get dividends from these companies. And like any other strategy, “covered calls” also have risks. If the stock price falls too far, the income from the options may not be enough to cover the losses. On the other hand, CNF previously reported that Bitwise also recently launched the Bitcoin Standard Corporations ETF. The ETF is designed to track the performance of public companies that hold at least 1,000 BTC on their balance sheets. Every quarter, the weighting allocation of companies in the ETF is adjusted to remain diversified, with a maximum limit of 20% per entity. So, no single company dominates. Furthermore, Bitwise showed its ambition by completing a $70 million fundraise on February 25, 2025. This funding was led by Electric Capital and followed by other big names such as MassMutual, Highland Capital, MIT Investment Management Company, and Haun Ventures. And as if that wasn’t enough, on March 6, 2025, Bitwise also made a breakthrough by entering the world of DeFi through a collaboration with Maple Finance , known as an on-chain credit specialist. Through this partnership, Bitwise began allocating funds to Bitcoin-based lending products.

Someone big been buying a lot of btc at, MSTR, Blackrock, GameStop I’m not sure but this is one or two entities keeping price afloat. I don’t think you buy into this tbh

$MSTR | MicroStrategy now holds 2.5% of all Bitcoin, an enormous position by any standard. But beneath the surface, the risk profile might be deeper than it seems. These are the 4 main risk areas we're watching closely (plus one question that’s hard to ignore) 🧵↓

2. Negative Cash Flow & Dividend Pressure $MSTR is not a profitable business. In 2024, it posted >$60M in net losses before interest, taxes, and impermanent loss. On top of that, it owes ~8% dividends on $765M in $STRK preferred shares. That’s another ~$60M/year in cash
