The post Will the Fed Buy Bitcoin? Analyst Says Saylor’s Strategy Beats Powell appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitcoin advocate and CEO of The Bitcoin Bond Company, Pierre Rochard, has stirred the pot with a bold claim: Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin-heavy approach is outperforming Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s policies. 

In a post on X, Rochard compared the Fed’s low-yield system with Strategy’s high-dividend Bitcoin reserves.

Bitcoin Reserves vs. Fractional Banking

Strategy, co-founded by Saylor, recently raised its dividend rate on STRC preferred stock from 9% to 10%. Backed by a staggering 636,505 BTC, the firm’s balance sheet has surged by 580%, putting its treasury strategy in the spotlight. 

Rochard calls this “full reserve banking,” arguing it offers better returns and stability compared to the Fed’s traditional fractional reserve system, which allows banks to lend most deposits while paying a modest 4.5% on reserves.

Powell Isn’t Buying Bitcoin

Despite growing pressure from crypto supporters, Powell has dismissed the idea of the Fed holding Bitcoin. He cited legal restrictions and made it clear there are no plans to change the law to allow it.

His comments come as the Fed weighs whether to cut interest rates in its September 16-17 meeting. Markets are betting on a cut, but inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, keeping uncertainty high.

A Volatile Backdrop for Bitcoin

Bitcoin has had a rough ride in recent weeks. A massive sell-off in August, where a whale dumped 24,000 BTC worth $2.7 billion, sent the price tumbling. Bitcoin is now trading at $111,533, up 1.56% in the last 24 hours.

The Fed’s hesitation on rate cuts has only added pressure on the market.

At the same time, the Trump administration is pushing for crypto deregulation and even exploring a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve. 

With Bitcoin clawing back and Washington’s stance on crypto shifting fast, all eyes are now on the Fed’s strategy. Will Powell buy Bitcoin?

The post IP Hits $11.75, HYPE Climbs to $55, BlockDAG Surpasses Both with $407M Presale Surge! appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down. So the obvious question is: why chase coins that are either stretched thin or at risk of retracing when you could back a network that’s already proving itself on the ground? That’s where BlockDAG comes in. While other chains are stuck dealing with validator congestion or outages, BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet will be stress-testing its EVM-compatible smart chain with real miners before listing. For anyone looking for the best crypto coin to buy, the choice between waiting on fixes or joining live progress feels like an easy one. BlockDAG: Smart Chain Running Before Launch Ethereum continues to wrestle with gas congestion, and Solana is still known for network freezes, yet BlockDAG is already showing a different picture. Its upcoming Awakening Testnet, set to launch on September 25, isn’t just a demo; it’s a live rollout where the chain’s base protocols are being stress-tested with miners connected globally. EVM compatibility is active, account abstraction is built in, and tools like updated vesting contracts and Stratum integration are already functional. Instead of waiting for fixes like other networks, BlockDAG is proving its infrastructure in real time. What makes this even more important is that the technology is operational before the coin even hits exchanges. That…

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715. The near-term trend of the pair remains bearish as it stays below the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around 1.3800. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level. Going forward, the asset could slide towards the round level of…
