Bernstein Describes Current Bitcoin Cycle as ‘Boring’
The $2.6 billion outflow from US spot bitcoin ETFs since the start of 2026 and the market's 'boring' performance do not undermine the thesis of the leading cryptocurrency as a store of value. This is according to a report by The Block, citing Bernstein. Experts led by Gautam Chhugani noted that the current cycle shows weaker dynamics compared to previous growth periods, yet the market structure remains healthy. They attributed the current volatility to limited liquidity and retail investors' interest in the AI sector, rather than a loss of faith in digital gold. Bernstein acknowledged that in short periods, the asset still correlates with risky instruments. Nevertheless, bitcoin adoption has expanded through institutional platforms, pension funds, and corporate treasuries. According to Glassnode, 61% of the market supply has remained inactive for over a year. Corporate purchases were identified as the main demand driver offsetting ETF outflows. Strategy plays a key role here, having raised $7.5 billion through preferred instruments in 2026 to purchase approximately 100,000 BTC. Currently, the company manages over 818,000 BTC, with the risk of forced sales considered minimal. Meanwhile, Glassnode analysts observed some market pressure: realized capitalization growth has slowed to nearly zero, and the share of supply in profit has decreased to 59.8%. Despite this, Bernstein maintains a bullish outlook. Back in April, Bernstein analysts identified $60,000 as a 'clear bottom' for bitcoin.

TechCrunch: Token-Based Payments Reshape AI Market
The shift of GitHub Copilot to token-based payments could signal a reevaluation of pricing and limits in the AI product market. This conclusion was drawn by TechCrunch following the Equity podcast. The discussion was prompted by changes in GitHub Copilot's pricing. Microsoft transitioned some users from a fixed subscription to a model based on the number of "building blocks" of processed information. A Reddit user described the situation as a "token-pocalypse" amid the sharp rise in AI tool expenses. In the podcast, TechCrunch editors Anthony Ha, Kirsten Korosec, and Sean O’Kane linked the potential price reevaluation to the high cost of developing and maintaining AI models. Ha noted that a significant portion of the market is still subsidized by investor capital, meaning some costs may eventually shift to end users. He assessed that companies like Anthropic, as they prepare for an IPO, will need to better explain to investors their path to reducing costs and achieving profitability. O’Kane cited Uber as an example. He mentioned that the company quickly exhausted its budget for AI tools and subsequently began restricting internal use. He doubted that model developers could reduce technology costs quickly enough to align with customers' willingness to pay. Korosec added that pricing approaches in the AI sector are changing too rapidly. In her view, the "token-maxing" trend became noticeable within a few months and has irritated the market. She also pointed to increased regulation in the US: On June 2, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an order allowing authorities to inspect powerful AI models before public release, as mentioned in the discussion. In May, Gartner analysts forecasted AI spending to grow to $2.59 trillion in 2026.

ZEC Surges 41.5% Following Critical Network Vulnerability
Josh Swihart, founder of Zcash Open Development Lab (ZODL), announced the resolution of a critical vulnerability in the Orchard shielded pool. Following this, the asset's prices began to recover from a significant decline. https://t.co/9gaPMvTc9G— Josh Swihart 🛡 (@jswihart) June 7, 2026 According to Swihart, the fix was implemented in two phases. Initially, the team conducted a soft fork to temporarily disable transactions in Orchard. This reduced the risk of bug exploitation without prematurely disclosing technical details. The second phase was the NU6.2 hard fork, activated on June 3. After the update, the pool's functionality was fully restored. The critical flaw in the Proof-of-Concept scheme of Orchard was discovered by independent researcher Taylor Hornby during an audit for Shielded Labs. The bug theoretically allowed for unlimited fake issuance of ZEC. However, Shielded Labs stated that actual exploitation of the vulnerability was unlikely. Following the disclosure on June 4, the price of the privacy coin plummeted by more than 50%. The incident sparked criticism from community members. Notably, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes announced the complete liquidation of his position in the token. In addressing the aftermath, ZODL coordinated with mining pools ViaBTC and Foundry, as well as exchanges, to conduct code reviews of the fixes. "We not only solved the problem but also practically tested incident response processes, strengthening the network's resilience," Swihart emphasized. At the time of writing, ZEC is trading at $429.08. Over the past day, the privacy coin has gained 13.5%, recovering 41.5% from the lows of June 5. Hourly chart of ZEC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. Concurrently, ZODL, in collaboration with the Zcash Foundation and Shielded Labs, presented a proposal for network upgrades and the creation of a new pool, Ironwood. It is expected to be based on Orchard but will undergo additional independent audits and formal verification. In May, the price of the privacy coin broke the $585 mark for the first time since November 2025.

JPMorgan Suggests Strategy Boost Dollar Reserves
Strategy will need to increase its dollar reserves to restore market confidence in the company's financial model, reports The Block, citing a JPMorgan report. The firm established a dollar reserve on December 1, 2025. Initially, it amounted to $1.44 billion. The funds were allocated for dividend payments on preferred shares and interest on debt. The minimum reserve goal is to cover at least 12 months of such payments, with a long-term target of 24 months or more. As of May 31, 2026, the reserve had decreased to $900 million. Strategy explained that it may adjust the reserve size based on market conditions and liquidity needs. On June 1, the company disclosed the sale of 32 BTC for approximately $2.5 million at an average price of $77,135. The funds were used for STRC payments. This was the first Bitcoin sale since late 2022. As of May 31, Strategy held 843,706 BTC with an average purchase price of $75,699. Experts believe the Bitcoin sale alarmed industry participants. The transaction heightened concerns about further liquidations to ensure shareholder payments. Strategy indicated that it determines the dollar reserve size considering STRC demand, credit risk, and market conditions. The company also considered selling Bitcoin if deemed advantageous. According to the JPMorgan report, the company's current fiat reserves are sufficient for only 6.3 months of dividend payments. Experts emphasized that Strategy needs to increase its dollar reserves to alleviate investor concerns. JPMorgan also noted that positive trends in the crypto market in the second half of the year will depend on the transparency of the company's financial strategy and the prospects of the CLARITY Act being adopted. In June, Grayscale analysts described Strategy's first Bitcoin sale in a long time as a "stress test" of its financial model.
