The Bitcoin Street Journal Market Update

Electrum, one of the oldest Bitcoin wallets, disclosed a high-severity flaw exploited in the wild, as Bitcoin spends Saturday night fighting for $80,000. In the Evening Edition, Anna covers the wallet alert, the week's split ETF scoreboard, Iran and Israel headlines moving money, and the trillion-dollar A.I. data center race.

Bitcoin slipped under $80,000 for the second time in about ten days, and $670 million in leveraged bets got liquidated.

Three days of ETF inflows, one day of outflows. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs lost $635 million on Thursday, wiping out well over half of a $1 billion streak, and the Fear and Greed Index swung from 68 to 50 in a day. Anna breaks down what's spooking the market, asks whether A.I. can break Bitcoin, and fires through ten headlines in the Friday rapid-fire round.

Bitcoin ran at $85,000 and got rejected, even as ETFs pulled in more than $1 billion in three days. Now China has opened a case to seize the 61,896 bitcoin held by U.K. authorities, Tesla's Bitcoin stash jumps without a single sale, and a P.H.P. flaw has the industry on alert. Anna breaks down the day's Bitcoin news ahead of next week's Fed decision.

SpaceX and Tesla are weighing a merger that would unite more than 30,000 bitcoin, and Bitcoin just hit a one-week high near $83,500 as SpaceX earnings revive the A.I. trade. Anna breaks down the levels that matter, from $82,500 support to the $87,700 wall, the ETF money split, and the richer yields Strive and Strategy are paying to keep buying.

Big money came back and the price didn't care. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $526.6 million on Monday, their biggest day since September 22, yet Bitcoin slid to about $81,400 as oil topped $111 and Asian chip stocks tumbled. Anna breaks down the levels to watch, BlackRock's new "buffer" Bitcoin ETF, JPMorgan's 10%-a-year Bitcoin forecast, and who is really buying the coin.

Black Monday never showed up. Bitcoin is back above $82,000 as oil cools and stock futures rise, but the ETFs are still bleeding, U.S. spot demand is soft, and the Fed meets October 28. Anna runs through the day's Bitcoin news: ETF outflows, Strategy's slowing purchases, an old whale waking up, and the Mt. Gox deadline pushed to 2027.

THE MARKET TODAY (Monday, October 19, 2026)

- Bitcoin: about $82,300, up roughly 0.4% in 24 hours

Bitcoin is back near $83,000 after yesterday's slide under $80,000, but who is actually buying? ETFs took in just $5 million, U.S. spot demand is soft, and the Coinbase premium is still negative. Meanwhile Strive is raising $700 million to buy bitcoin and $1.47 billion in options expire today. Anna breaks down who is carrying this rebound, and where the risks are hiding.

Bitcoin slipped under $80,000 on hot inflation data while ETFs shed another $261 million, but the bigger story is what happens to value when machines can make almost anything. Anna breaks down the market move, then takes on the question every long-term investor should be asking: in the age of AI, what stays scarce?
