US spot Bitcoin ETFs absorbed 62,986 BTC between February 24 and March 25, lifting cumulative ETF holdings to 1,326,874 BTC while BTC traded near the $70,000 area. Over the same window, short-term holders kept sending coins to exchanges at a loss, with loss-side flows at 15,500 BTC per 24 hours, as CoinGlass data highlighted resistance around $72.3k–$72.6k.

GameStop's latest 10-K filing says the company did not sell the 4,709 BTC it bought last year, instead pledging it as collateral with Coinbase Credit. The filing describes a covered-call strategy intended to earn option-premium income, with strike prices set between $105,000 and $110,000 and an expiry on Friday.

Bitcoin fell back below $70,500 and broke under $70,000 after failing to extend gains above $72,000. Price action then probed the $68,000 area with a low at $68,115, and BTC is consolidating while trading below $70,200 and the 100-hour SMA. The setup highlights resistance near $70,050 and outlines supports at $68,400 and $68,000 if downside resumes.

GameStop’s fiscal 2025 annual report says it used 4,709 of its 4,710 bitcoin as collateral with Coinbase Credit to sell OTC covered-call options rather than exit the position.

Morgan Stanley's proposed spot bitcoin ETF, the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust (MSBT), has received an NYSE Arca listing notice, a development that typically comes shortly before trading begins.

Fees have not been disclosed publicly, but the move could add competitive pressure as BlackRock's IBIT and Fidelity's FBTC each charge 0.25%.

Bitcoin’s "total supply in profit" fell to 50.8% on Feb. 5 and stood at 60.6% on Thursday, a range often seen around market-cycle reset phases.

Analysts also point to softer short-term selling and valuation bands that have previously appeared during heavier retail stress.
