Bitcoin2026-10-03 14:25:37EntropyLab releases candidate build of offline Bitcoin key and wallet calculatorEntropyLab has released v1.0.0rc1, the first candidate version of its self-contained Bitcoin key and wallet calculator, according to a post by Bitcoin News on X. The tool runs as a single HTML file, does not require an internet connection, and does not generate entropy on its own. Instead, users can supply their own entropy and calculate keys and wallets in a fully offline environment. The application supports multisig, PSBT, BIP-85, Silent Payments, vanity addresses, watch-only wallet export, and randomness analysis. The release is reproducible and can be verified through signatures from four independent signers. The team said users should download and verify the file before moving it to an air-gapped computer. A full v1.0.0 release will come after testing of the candidate version is completed.70

Bitcoin2026-10-03 14:00:27Coinglass data points to heavy liquidation zones for BTC at $89,015 and $80,663Coinglass data shows two key Bitcoin price levels tied to large liquidation pressure on major centralized exchanges. If BTC breaks above $89,015, cumulative short liquidation intensity across major CEXs would reach $1.469 billion. On the downside, if BTC falls below $80,663, cumulative long liquidation intensity would reach $1.189 billion. The figures highlight the scale of potential forced liquidations around both thresholds. One level is associated with short positions, while the other reflects pressure on long positions. The data was cited by ChainCatcher in a market analysis news brief. No additional timeframe or exchange-by-exchange breakdown was provided in the source. The report focused only on the two BTC price points and the corresponding cumulative liquidation intensity across major centralized exchanges.70
Bitcoin2026-10-03 12:46:00CNBC host says October has been a strong month for Bitcoin, with only three monthly declines since 2013PANews reported on Oct. 3, citing Bitcoin Magazine, that a CNBC host said October has historically been a strong month for Bitcoin. According to the host, Bitcoin has recorded only three monthly declines in October since 2013. The comment points to a long-running seasonal pattern often watched by crypto traders as they assess how the market may behave during the final quarter of the year. The host also said there are already signs that price action this month may unfold in line with market expectations, adding that Bitcoin could be preparing to enter a new bull market. The report did not provide additional data or identify the specific indicators behind that view. PANews also noted that the content was provided for market information only and does not constitute investment advice.40
Donald Trump2026-10-03 11:48:26Forbes says Bitcoin debasement-trade narrative is gaining traction after Trump comments on inflation and debtForbes reported that U.S. President Donald Trump, in an interview with Time magazine, said that 「a certain amount of inflation would also pay off debt very quickly,」 reviving debate over whether the United States could reduce its real debt burden through nominal growth and inflation. The report said federal debt has climbed past $40 trillion, more than doubling over the past decade, while interest costs have kept rising after the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes. Trump, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Elon Musk have previously pointed to technology-driven economic growth as a key way to ease debt pressure. At the same time, the market has turned back to the so-called debasement trade, where investors buy assets such as gold and Bitcoin to hedge against a decline in fiat purchasing power. Forbes, citing Bitfire Research, said the long-term case for Bitcoin as a hedge against currency debasement remains intact, though short-term price moves may still be shaped by interest-rate policy and U.S. dollar liquidity. The report also noted that PCE inflation rose 3.4% from a year earlier, above the Fed’s 2% target, while markets see about a 70% chance that the Fed will leave rates unchanged at its late-October meeting.40
Bitcoin2026-10-03 11:01:50Strive executive says Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could reach $161.8 billion if BTC-gold ratio returns to peakAdam Livingston, vice president of investments at Strive, said Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings could be worth about $161.8 billion under a scenario tied to both gold and the BTC-gold ratio. He said that if gold rises 15% to $4,760 per ounce and the BTC-gold ratio climbs from roughly 20.4 ounces to its historical high of about 40.1 ounces seen in December 2024, Bitcoin would be priced at around $190,858. Based on that estimate, Strategy’s current holdings of 847,666 BTC would carry a market value of about $161.8 billion. Livingston also cited Strategy’s cumulative acquisition cost at about $63.95 billion and its average purchase price at about $75,437 per BTC. On that basis, the company’s paper gain would be about $98 billion. The report was cited by Bitcoin.com News and carried by Odaily.40
Bitcoin2026-10-03 10:53:44Bitcoin Exchange Reserves Fall to Their Lowest Level Since 2023Bitcoin exchange reserves have dropped to their lowest level since 2023, according to Techub News, which cited U.Today. The report said the decline has come as traders keep withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges while demand rises. That combination has pushed the amount of BTC held on exchanges down to a level not seen in the past three years. No additional figures were disclosed in the brief. The report focused on the continued outflow of coins from exchange wallets rather than providing a detailed breakdown by platform or region.40
Bitcoin2026-10-03 10:43:44Glassnode says Bitcoin selling pressure is coming from buyers who entered at higher pricesGlassnode said in a post on X that selling pressure is showing up in the Bitcoin market as investors who bought at higher price levels begin to exit positions. The data points to two groups that are currently sitting on losses: investors who bought 1 to 2 years ago at $97,000, and those who bought 6 to 12 months ago at $89,000. According to the analysis, investors who entered during the 2025 rally are now responsible for the largest amount of Bitcoin sold per day. By contrast, buyers who accumulated during market pullbacks have not shown signs of large-scale selling. The update highlights a split in holder behavior, with underwater positions appearing more active on the sell side while dip buyers remain comparatively steady.70
