MARA Holdings reported a fourth quarter 2025 net loss of $1.71 billion, or $4.52 per diluted share, after a sharp fair‑value markdown on its Bitcoin holdings. Quarterly revenue slipped 6% to $202.3 million, while the company outlined a multi‑year strategy to expand into AI and high‑performance computing infrastructure alongside its existing Bitcoin mining operations.

On 27 February 2026, Citigroup detailed plans to introduce a comprehensive digital asset platform that will place Bitcoin directly within its core banking and custody systems. The initiative includes on-balance-sheet custody, 24/7 operations, Swift and API connectivity, and integration with internal tools such as CIDAP and Citi Token Services. The move aims to let institutional clients manage Bitcoin alongside traditional assets under the same risk, compliance, and reporting framework.

Crypto analyst Willy Woo says recent investor selling in Bitcoin appears largely exhausted, allowing BTC to trade sideways and possibly retest the mid-$70,000 area before facing resistance. He expects the bearish phase to end around the fourth quarter, with other analysts warning of months of range-bound price action between $60,000 and $70,000 after a steep drawdown.

Bitcoin has climbed above $68,000 and is currently consolidating over the $66,250 support while trading above $67,200 and the 100‑hour simple moving average. Key resistance sits near $68,000 and $68,250, with potential targets at $69,500 and $70,000, while a drop below $67,000–$66,250 could open the way toward $65,500 and $63,500. Technical indicators show the hourly MACD losing bullish momentum and the RSI holding above 50.

Crypto analytics firm Santiment reported on Thursday that the number of wallets holding at least 100 Bitcoin has climbed to 19,993 and could reach 20,000 by Friday. The firm views the growth in large holders as a sign of healthier distribution, even as Bitcoin trades around $67,260, roughly 47% below its October all-time high of $126,100. Santiment added that long-term holders appear to be both accumulating and selling, helping keep prices subdued despite rising confidence in a potential recovery.

In February 2024, Bitcoin spot trading volumes across major exchanges have dropped to their lowest levels of the year as traders cut risk and wait for clearer macro or technical signals. According to CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost, platforms such as Binance, Gate.io and Bybit have seen monthly spot activity roughly halved since Bitcoin’s October peak, reflecting a cautious market and thinner liquidity. At the same time, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that the Coinbase Premium Index has turned positive again, indicating reduced US-led selling pressure even as Bitcoin trades around $68,153.

Bitcoin is trading near $68,220 and has recently tested the $64,000–$64,400 region, while an Elliott Wave-based outlook suggests the broader fifth wave may still be unfolding. Analyst Tara highlights key support between $59,900 and $60,500, warning that a final downside move could extend toward $52,000 if the structure continues, although a reclaim of $64,000 and a break above $70,000 would strengthen the bullish case. The 4-hour RSI is nearing oversold territory, and traders are watching for a bullish divergence as a possible sign that the corrective phase is ending.

On 26 February, Bitcoin traded at $68,006 while holding above the $60K–$72K range floor, with technical indicators showing recovering momentum. U.S. spot BTC ETFs saw over $500M in net inflows on 25 February, as large holders and derivatives flows reinforced expectations for a potential breakout toward higher resistance.
