🔴 Some interesting perspectives on bitcoin by Blockware shared by Robert @reedlove on X.

▶️ Bitcoin is up 25% from its April 9th low and there’s a handful of indicators that show a major bull market around the corner. Starting with the Average Miner Cost of Production. ▶️ In a rational economy, assets rarely trade below their cost of production. Now, what it costs to “mine” a Bitcoin is different for every miner – machine type, electricity cost, and uptime all play a role — but the analysts @BlockwareTeam have aggregated data to create a metric called the “industry average”. ▶️ This metric has timed each of the past 6 Bitcoin bottoms: September 2024 November 2022 September 2020 March 2020 December 2018 April 2016 ▶️ This metric is signaling a bottom right now.

BREAKING: Cantor Fitzgerald, SoftBank, Tether, and Bitfinex are pooling $3 billion to create 21 Capital, a Bitcoin investment firm.

The initiative mirrors Strategy's Bitcoin plan, with contributions from Tether ($1.5 billion), SoftBank ($900 million), and Bitfinex ($600 million). Brandon Lutnick, current chair and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald and son of former CEO Howard Lutnick, is at the helm of this venture. The initiative will utilize funds from Cantor Equity Partners, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) that raised $200 million earlier this year. The investment contributions to 21 Capital are substantial, with Tether expected to provide $1.5 billion in Bitcoin. SoftBank will contribute $900 million, while Bitfinex plans to supply $600 million worth of the crypto. This collaboration aims to mirror the investment approach pioneered by Michael Saylor's Strategy, which has seen significant success in the Bitcoin market🔥 The report highlights that the Bitcoin holdings from these companies will eventually be converted into shares of 21 Capital, valued at $10 per share, suggesting a valuation of $85,000 per Bitcoin. Additionally, Cantor's vehicle plans to raise $350 million through a convertible bond and an additional $200 million via private equity placements for further Bitcoin acquisitions. The Financial Times notes that an official announcement regarding this venture is expected in the coming weeks, although details may still be subject to changes or cancellation.
