Saylor Keeps Selling, Coldcard Keeps Sweeping, $BTC Keeps Climbing 🤷‍♂️

Bitcoin rebounded to nearly $64,000 in Asian trading on Tuesday, reclaiming the $63,000 level after dipping to about $62,250 on Monday. The largest cryptocurrency traded at just above $64,100, up 2% over 24 hours and 1% on the week. Every major token except ether sat in the green over seven days, with BNB leading the majors.

Ether lagged near $1,865, marginally higher on the day but down 1% over the past week, the only top-tier token still red on the weekly view. XRP rose almost 1% to $1.08 and is up 2% on the week, while BNB added 1.5% to nearly $591 for a seven-day gain of almost 5%. Solana gained over 1% to nearly $74, tron 1% to 33 cents and dogecoin the same to 7 cents. Hyperliquid's HYPE token bounced over 4% to $54 after last week's slide, though it remains down 3% over seven days.

The recovery came without any resolution to the Coldcard situation. A fourth wave of sweeps against addresses generated by the affected firmware ran through Monday, taking roughly 449 bitcoin from 709 addresses on the revised count, and Galaxy Research has not confirmed whether the same operator is behind it. Coldcard's maker has not announced a firmware fix.

Separately, Bitcoin treasury firm Strategy disclosed Monday it sold 1,638 bitcoin for about $105 million between July 27 and Aug. 2, its third sale of 2026, per an SEC filing. The average price was $63,957, well below the company's $75,419 average cost basis, and proceeds went to preferred dividends and STRC buybacks rather than back into bitcoin. Holdings now stand at 842,138 BTC, and the company has not bought any in more than five weeks. Michael Saylor said the moves lifted the dollar reserve to $4 billion and extended its duration by 57 days.

Broader equities offered a mixed handoff into the U.S. session. MSCI's Asia Pacific gauge fell 0.7%, its second straight decline, with Korea's Kospi dropping 1.1% after being up 2.1% earlier and a regional semiconductor index off 1%. Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.4%, helped by Palantir gaining 14% after hours on raised guidance, while Amazon fell 1.6% post-market after Jeff Bezos disclosed a share sale. Traders are watching whether bitcoin can hold above $63,000 through the U.S. session.
