Bitcoin’s 20% Crash, Strategy Panic, and the New Crypto Security Threat

Bitcoin fell roughly 20% in six days, triggering massive liquidations and renewed fear across the crypto market.

On this episode of The Weekly, David Sencil and Graham Stone unpack the crash, the panic around Strategy’s Bitcoin sale, and why traditional markets, AI stocks, semiconductors, and Fed expectations may be driving Bitcoin’s next move.

They also cover a major milestone for Bitcoin adoption: the first Bitcoin-backed home loan. Then the episode turns to Polymarket’s alleged undisclosed influencer payments and a disturbing rise in wrench attacks targeting crypto holders and their families.
