According to Cointelegraph, Future Holdings AG, a Bitcoin treasury company based in Switzerland and supported by industry veteran Adam Back, has entered into preliminary terms for a potential acquisition by Sweden-listed H100 Group. On Monday, Future Holdings announced it had signed a non-binding letter of intent with H100, which outlines the acquisition of 100% of its shares. Richard Byworth, chairman of Future Holdings, stated in a joint announcement that merging with H100 would establish a public-market platform and governance framework crucial for building long-term institutional credibility in the Swiss market. This proposed acquisition follows the establishment of Future Holdings in November 2025 by Back, Byworth, and Sebastien Hess, during which the company raised $35 million for its Bitcoin treasury. Additionally, Back extended a $2.1 million convertible loan to H100 in June 2025, with an option to invest an additional $12.8 million. The acquisition price for Future Holdings has been set at approximately 375,000 Swiss francs, or roughly $471,000, plus the company's cash balance at closing. Based on Future's current cash position, the total purchase price is anticipated to be around 600,000 Swiss francs, or approximately $753,000. The payment is expected to be made in newly issued H100 shares at the closing price on the last trading day before the letter of intent. The transaction is subject to due diligence, negotiation of definitive agreements, and obtaining necessary corporate and regulatory approvals. The companies anticipate that the signing and closing will occur in January 2026. For H100, this acquisition represents a significant step in its strategy to expand beyond the Nordic region and establish itself as a leading Bitcoin treasury and financial platform in Europe. Sander Andersen, chairman of H100, expressed that the transaction supports H100's expansion into Switzerland, highlighting Future Holdings' local expertise and the importance of Switzerland as a market for institutional investors exploring new capital allocation strategies. Besides Future and H100, Adam Back has supported several Bitcoin treasury companies, including the French treasury Capital B and The Bitcoin Standard Treasury. During a surge in Bitcoin treasuries in the summer of 2025, Back referred to Bitcoin adoption by public companies as the "new altcoin season" for crypto speculators.

According to PANews, Japan plans to classify Bitcoin as a financial product this year, a move that could incentivize Japanese citizens to invest in the cryptocurrency. Crypto analyst Willy Woo commented that this classification would result in Bitcoin earnings or transactions being taxed at a rate of 20%, rather than the marginal income tax rate, which ranges from 43% to 55% for annual incomes exceeding $57,000. This change could diminish Metaplanet's tax arbitrage advantage compared to self-custody of Bitcoin. Additionally, approximately 110 other cryptocurrencies will be included in this classification, with staking earnings subject to marginal tax rates.

Key TakeawaysBitcoin ETF outflows total $681 million in the first full week of 2026Spot Ether ETFs see $68.6 million weekly net redemptionsMacro uncertainty and delayed rate-cut expectations drive risk-off positioningSource: SoSoValueSpot Bitcoin ETFs See Four Days of RedemptionsSpot Bitcoin ETFs recorded four consecutive days of net outflows from Tuesday to Friday, according to SoSoValue data. The largest single-day withdrawal hit $486 million on Wednesday, followed by $398.9 million on Thursday and $249.9 million on Friday.These redemptions erased earlier gains, after ETFs attracted $471.1 million on Jan. 2 and $697.2 million on Jan. 5. The reversal marked a sharp shift in near-term Bitcoin ETF flows. Ether ETFs Mirror Bitcoin WeaknessSpot Ether ETFs followed a similar path, posting approximately $68.6 million in weekly net outflows. Total net assets across Ether products stood near $18.7 billion at week’s end.The parallel decline suggests broader caution across digital asset ETFs, not isolated Bitcoin news. Correlated flows reflect shared exposure to macro-driven risk sentiment. Macro Uncertainty Drives Risk-Off PositioningAnalysts have attributed the pullback to shifting expectations around monetary policy.  Investors are also closely watching Federal Reserve guidance and upcoming U.S. CPI data. Until clearer signals emerge, buying pressure may remain limited. Institutional Interest Remains Intact Despite OutflowsDespite short-term ETF weakness, broader institutional interest continues to build. Morgan Stanley filed with the SEC to launch spot Bitcoin and Solana ETFs, becoming the first major U.S. bank to pursue such products.Meanwhile, Bank of America authorized advisers to recommend select Bitcoin ETFs to clients. These moves signal long-term confidence in blockchain-based investment products, even amid volatility. Bitcoin Outlook: Tactical Shift, Not Structural ExitWhile weekly outflows reached $952 million, month-to-date ETF flows remained positive at $588 million in late December. In 2025, crypto ETPs attracted $46.7 billion, underscoring durable demand.The current pullback appears to reflect tactical repositioning rather than a loss of conviction. For now, the Bitcoin outlook hinges on macroeconomic data, policy clarity, and whether renewed bullish momentum can return to ETF flows.

According to PANews, crypto analyst Willy Woo has expressed optimism about Bitcoin's performance from late January to February, while maintaining a bearish outlook for 2026.Woo stated that an internal investor capital flow model predicts Bitcoin hit its bottom on December 24 and has been steadily strengthening since. Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks for such trends to reflect in prices, which appears to be happening now, albeit restrained by short-term technical indicators showing overbought conditions. Another positive factor is the recovery of fiat liquidity in the futures market after months of stagnation, similar to mid-2021, which led to the second peak of the previous cycle. Therefore, the resistance level of $98,000 to $100,000 needs to hold. If this resistance is breached, attention should turn to the resistance at the all-time high (ATH).However, Woo remains bearish for 2026, citing a broader perspective where liquidity relative to price momentum has been weakening since January 2025. Currently, the market is in a hotspot phase lacking sufficient liquidity support for momentum. Woo's outlook would change only if substantial spot (long-term) liquidity enters the market in the coming months, breaking the downward trend. It is noteworthy that a bear market has not yet been confirmed, which would be indicated by sustained outflows of Bitcoin funds, a lagging indicator of a cycle peak.

According to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin (BTC) network mining difficulty, which measures the computational challenge of adding a new block to the blockchain, slightly decreased to 146.4 trillion on Thursday. This marks the first difficulty adjustment of 2026. The next adjustment is anticipated to occur on January 22, 2026, at 04:08:12 AM UTC, with an expected increase in difficulty from 146.47 trillion to 148.20 trillion, as reported by CoinWarz. Currently, average block times are at 9.88 minutes, slightly below the 10-minute target, indicating a forthcoming increase in difficulty to better align with the target block time.In 2025, Bitcoin mining difficulty reached new all-time highs, with the final adjustment of the year slightly increasing the difficulty level. Despite this increase, the difficulty remained below the record high of 155.9 trillion observed in November. The rising difficulty signifies heightened competition for mining blocks, posing additional challenges to the mining industry, which faced macroeconomic, regulatory, and financial obstacles throughout 2025. The year was marked by a challenging margin environment for Bitcoin miners, exacerbated by the April 2024 halving that reduced the block subsidy by 50% and various macroeconomic factors.The downturn in the crypto market, which began in November, further pressured miners and mining companies. Miner hash price, a crucial metric for profitability that tracks expected revenue per unit of computing power, fell below breakeven levels in November 2025. This metric dropped to a multi-year low of below $35 per petahash-second per day, forcing miners to reconsider whether to continue operations. Additionally, tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump added strain to Bitcoin miners, raising concerns about supply chain shortages.A sharp decline in the crypto market, triggered by a flash crash in October, led to a 30% drop in BTC prices in November, with Bitcoin reaching a low just above $80,000. Although Bitcoin prices have since rebounded, they remain significantly below the all-time high of over $125,000 achieved in October.

According to Odaily, the widow of the late early Bitcoin contributor Hal Finney marked the 17th anniversary of his first tweet mentioning Bitcoin, "Running bitcoin," through her X account, formerly known as Twitter.

According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass on January 10 indicates that after recent fluctuations in the crypto market, funding rates on major centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX) suggest a neutral sentiment towards Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). The funding rates on mainstream platforms have returned to neutral, although altcoins continue to experience significant negative rates.BlockBeats notes that funding rates are set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain balance between contract prices and the prices of underlying assets, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This mechanism involves the exchange of funds between long and short traders, and the platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or profit of holding contracts, ensuring that contract prices remain close to the asset prices.A funding rate of 0.01% indicates a baseline rate. When the funding rate exceeds 0.01%, it reflects a generally bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a rate below 0.005% suggests a bearish outlook.

According to BlockBeats, on January 10, monitoring by Farside Investors revealed a net outflow of $250 million from U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs the previous day.
