Bitcoin is trading around $70,300 as markets head into one of the more consequential options expiries of recent months.

Strive Inc., the asset management firm founded by Vivek Ramaswamy, has pushed into the ranks of the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holders after expanding its treasury to 13,628 BTC, a position now valued at roughly $950 million at current market prices.

Morgan Stanley filed its second amendment to an S-1 registration statement with the SEC on March 18, 2026 - a move that marks a decisive shift for the bank from merely distributing third-party crypto products to becoming a direct issuer in its own right.

The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.5%–3.75% on Wednesday, confirming what markets had already priced in but were hoping to avoid: no relief in sight for risk assets.

Bitcoin is trading at $71,350, off 3.42% in the past 24 hours with its market cap sitting at $1.43 trillion with $42 billion in daily volume - numbers that reflect a market in compression, not collapse, but one that is visibly struggling to find direction.
