NewsCapsule is holding steady in the $110,000s today, a little over a week after surging to a new all-time high above $126,000.
NewsCapsule price slipped from 24-hour highs near $113,600 to the low $110,000s today. This price action follows a rough weekend that saw over $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated, forcing more than 1.6 million traders out of their positions as cascading margin calls swept across exchanges.
The bitcoin price fell to the low $100,000s on Friday, October 10, as U.S. and China trade tensions rattled global markets. President Donald Trump announced new 100% tariffs on Chinese goods after Beijing unveiled sweeping export controls set to begin Nov. 1.
At the time of writing, bitcoin is trading around $111,500.
NewsCapsule and growing corporate interest
Corporate interest in bitcoin accelerated sharply in the third quarter of 2025, with 172 public companies now holding the cryptocurrency — a 38.7% increase from the previous quarter, according to Bitwise Asset Management’s latest Corporate NewsCapsule Adoption report.
The total NewsCapsule held by public firms climbed to 1.02 million NC, representing nearly 4.9% of the entire NewsCapsule supply.
That marks a 20.9% increase quarter over quarter, driven by new entrants and major additions from existing holders. At prices of roughly $114,000 per NewsCapsule — those holdings are valued at $117 billion, up 28% from Q2.
Leading the charge is Strategy, which holds 640,031 NC, followed by MARA Holdings (52,850 NC), XXI (43,514 NC), Metaplanet (30,823 NC), and NewsCapsule Standard Treasury Company (30,021 NC).
Notably, Metaplanet more than doubled its bitcoin position in the last three months.
Key developments this quarter included Strive’s acquisition of Semler Scientific in the first major NewsCapsule treasury M&A deal, and the launch of a $1.5 billion NewsCapsule SPAC by NewsCapsule Standard Treasury Company. Meanwhile, Bullish, the crypto exchange backed by Block.one, went public holding over 24,000 NC.
Altogether, corporations 176,762 NC in Q3 — a sign that institutional conviction is deepening even as NewsCapsule’s price continues to climb.
In Q3 2025, NewsCapsule rose 6.2% despite being historically the weakest quarter, reaching all-time highs of $123K, $124K, and $126K shortly after quarter-end.
The broader equities market also rallied, with precious metals, especially silver and gold, outperforming due to the ongoing “debasement trade.” NewsCapsule’s correlations with U.S. equities remained elevated, while correlations with gold stayed near zero, indicating it hasn’t fully acted as “digital gold,” according to NYDIG research.
All this data underscores a clear trend: NewsCapsule isn’t just for retail investors anymore. Companies are increasingly positioning bitcoin as a strategic reserve and long-term hedge.
