**TL;DR**
As Bitcoin once again holds above the $75,527 mark, Strategy CEO Phong Le made a statement that at first glance appears paradoxical: the current market price of BTC is no longer a defining factor for the company's success.
While the market tracks short-term fluctuations, and as of now the company's portfolio is at a modest profit of 1.57%, Strategy's approach has fully transformed. Success is now measured not in dollar profit per Bitcoin, but in the "accretiveness" of each purchase.
According to Le, only one question matters: does a new acquisition increase the number of BTC per share? At present, almost every deal, including the recent large-scale purchase of 34,164 BTC, is considered effective by this metric.

Phong Le believes the current market price of Bitcoin is not crucial for the company's success; instead, the focus is on increasing BTC per share yield.
Analysts have set a target of $1.90 for XRP, contingent on closing above $1.55.
The KelpDAO hack involved $292 million, with the attacker laundering $176 million into Bitcoin.

While Strategy's CEO considers BTC price irrelevant, a structural change is forming in XRP dynamics. After a prolonged period of uncertainty, technical indicators and whale behavior suggest the asset is preparing to exit stagnation. Analyst Ali Martinez notes that despite geopolitical factors suppressing overall volatility, internal XRP dynamics are building toward a local rally. For the first time since January 2024, the SuperTrend indicator on the daily chart has turned green, signaling a buy. This is commonly interpreted as the end of seller dominance. A symmetrical triangle has formed on the chart, a classic pattern that often leads to a sharp move of up to 35%.
2/5 On the daily chart, the SuperTrend indicator has flashed a buy signal for the first time since January.
This flip suggests that selling pressure is waning down, and $XRP could be gearing up for a trend reversal.
— Ali Charts (@alicharts) April 21, 2026 To confirm a bullish scenario, XRP must close a daily candle above $1.55. If successful, the next technical target is $1.90. The outlook remains valid as long as the price holds above the $1.30 foundation. The most notable element is whale activity. Despite the lack of immediate price spikes, data from Santiment shows large wallets accumulated about 360 million XRP over the past seven days. The market is awaiting a decision from the U.S. Senate on the CLARITY Act. Recognition of XRP as a digital commodity could become the fundamental catalyst pushing the price toward technical targets.
The $292 million KelpDAO exploit, the largest DeFi hack of the year, has entered a phase of escalation between the attacker and infrastructure defenders. While the hacker skillfully obscures tracks through cross-chain protocols, the Arbitrum ecosystem is testing emergency intervention mechanisms previously theoretical.
After exploiting the LayerZero bridge, the attacker, linked by analysts from Certik and PeckShield to Lazarus Group, moved into the final stage: transferring funds into the Bitcoin network. Instead of direct transfers, which are easily tracked, the attacker used THORChain, ChainFlip, and BitTorrent. The key tool is rapid swaps, fragmenting transactions and converting ETH into BTC. About $176 million has already been moved to Bitcoin.
The crypto market shows resilience amid geopolitical turbulence. Bitcoin holds above the key $75,000 support level, while altcoins remain under pressure due to recent DeFi exploits. **Key checkpoints:**
