According to The Block, K33 research director Vetle Lunde stated that Strategy's perpetual preferred stock STRC may be becoming an important factor driving the mid-month rise in Bitcoin. Lunde pointed out that STRC dividends are paid on the last day of each month, while the ex-dividend date is set around the 15th of each month.Since Strategy will issue additional shares through the ATM mechanism when the STRC price exceeds the $100 par value and use the raised funds to purchase BTC, the market demand for STRC tends to increase before the ex-dividend date, often leading to more BTC buying.Data shows that the scale of BTC purchased by Strategy through STRC has grown from 4,467 coins in January this year to about 46,872 coins in April. Currently, Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings have reached 818,869 BTC, valued at approximately $6.57 billion.However, K33 also noted that the speed at which STRC returned to par value this month has slowed compared to before, with only 1 BTC added through this tool recently, indicating that market demand may be approaching a phase of plateau.

On-chain detective ZachXBT exposed American threat actor Dritan Kapllani Jr, claiming he is suspected of participating in a social engineering theft targeting crypto users, totaling approximately $19 million. ZachXBT stated that Dritan has long flaunted luxury cars, high-end watches, private jets, and nightlife on social media. On April 23, 2026, during a "Band 4 Band (B4B)" voice chat on Discord, he publicly displayed an Exodus wallet containing $3.68 million in assets to prove he was wealthier than another hacker.The relevant ETH address is: 0x4487db847db2fc99372a985743a26f46e0b2bba6. ZachXBT tracked and found that this address is linked to a social engineering theft case involving 185 BTC (approximately $13 million) on March 14, 2026. The next day, Dritan's Exodus wallet received about $5.3 million of those funds. By the time of the B4B call six weeks later, about $1.6 million had been spent or laundered.On May 11, the U.S. Justice Department unsealed a criminal indictment against Trenton Johnson, who is accused of participating in the aforementioned 185 BTC theft case and could face up to 40 years in prison. "Coconspirator 1" in the indictment is alleged to be Dritan, who has not yet been formally charged. ZachXBT also pointed out that Dritan is connected to hacker John Daghita (Lick), who was previously arrested for stealing $46 million from the U.S. government, and John had exposed Dritan's old wallet address on Telegram.On-chain analysis shows that this address is related to multiple high-confidence social engineering theft cases in 2025, with a total amount involved exceeding $5.85 million. ZachXBT stated that Dritan has been active in "The Com" hacker circle for a long time and had previously not faced formal charges due to his minor status. He is now over 18 years old, and "the borrowed time may finally be over."
