THE UAE JUST JOINED THE GLOBAL BITCOIN MINING CLUB
The United Arab Emirates is now officially supporting government-backed Bitcoin mining operations, adding itself to a list of nations treating $BTC as strategic infrastructure. 🇦🇪⚡️
It’s a national policy:
✅ Dedicated mining zones
✅ Government incentives
✅ Energy partnerships
✅ Regulatory clarity
When a sovereign state allocates capital and policy to mining, it means:
🔥 #Bitcoin’s security and hash rate grow
🔥 Decentralized compute spreads geographically
🔥 National actors treat $BTC as backbone economic infrastructure
Bitcoin mining is no longer just industry, it’s state-level strategy.
Ethereum ($ETH ) co-founder Vitalik Buterin has called for decentralized stablecoins to move beyond being fully backed by a single fiat currency. Speaking on January 12, 2026, he warned that dependence on one national currency exposes stablecoins to severe risks if that country faces economic instability or failure.
Buterin argued that such a model contradicts the goal of decentralization and could lead to systemic collapse. He instead advocated for diversified backing mechanisms to improve resilience against geopolitical and macroeconomic shocks, especially as stablecoins play a growing role in DeFi and on-chain finance. #ETH #ALPHA @BNB Fox #bnb
Michael Saylor Starts 2026 With a Fresh Bitcoin Buy $BTC 🚀
The year barely started, and Michael Saylor is already back in the market. In the first days of January, Strategy made another bold BTC$BTC move, showing it has no intention of slowing down.
According to a regulatory filing, the company purchased more than 1,200 BTC between January 1 and January 4 for about $116 million, paying an average price near $90,400 per coin. The buy was led by Michael Saylor and funded through at-the-market sales of MSTR shares, a playbook the company has used repeatedly.
This latest purchase pushed Strategy’s total holdings to 673,783 Bitcoin - worth roughly $63 billion at current prices. The stash was accumulated at an average cost of about $75,000 per coin and now represents more than 3% of Bitcoin’s fixed 21 million supply.
Market analyst Michaël van de Poppe notes similarities between Ethereum’s current setup and the 2019 cycle, focusing on the ETH$ETH - $BTC ratio, which he says bottomed in April. He suggests this could mark a shift in Ethereum’s relative strength.
He also points to strong fundamentals, including continued network development, growing DeFi activity, and rising value locked in tokenized assets, which may support Ethereum’s position against Bitcoin going forward. #BTC #BinanceSquare
BlackRock has added approximately $900 million worth of $BTC to its holdings, coinciding with a notable decline in selling activity from long-term holders. Data shows that distribution from long-term investors has fallen to levels last seen in 2017, indicating reduced sell-side pressure and a potential shift toward accumulation across the market.
The combination of institutional inflows and restrained long-term selling suggests improving confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. BlackRock’s allocation reflects a broader trend of large asset managers incorporating #Bitcoin into diversified portfolios, while on-chain behavior points to tighter supply conditions that could influence market dynamics in the months ahead. #BlackRock #blackRock #bitcoin #BinanceSquare
