  • The treasury advantage 
  • A liquidity crunch 

Now that Bitcoin is down over 40% from its fall highs and hitting its lowest levels in weeks, crypto market sentiment has turned undeniably bearish. 

However, Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream and the inventor of the Hashcash proof-of-work system, sees a silver lining in the current downturn.

During a conversation with CNBC’s Melissa Lee, Back argued that lower crypto prices could be beneficial for Bitcoin Standard Treasury (BST), his upcoming venture.

The treasury advantage 

Back is currently preparing for a SPAC approval for Bitcoin Standard Treasury, which is estimated to occur around April. 

According to the crypto pioneer, lower Bitcoin prices during this pre-listing window would make it possible for the company to purchase more coins for its treasury.

“Depending on where the Bitcoin price is, if it holds at this level, that’s actually to our advantage,” Back explained. “Because we go out with a lower reference price and are able to buy more Bitcoin, making our way up the rung to probably number three in the global ranks of Bitcoin treasury companies by holdings.”

Treasury companies “take Bitcoin off the market” to hold and accumulate, Back says.  

A liquidity crunch 

Some market observers are puzzled by the inability of institutional adoption to propel crypto prices. Back has attributed this to liquidity-related difficulties among retail investors.

Traditional mutual funds can reallocate capital, but Bitcoin retail investors typically lack dry powder during such extremely severe market downturns.

“I think Bitcoin tends to be a little weak to the downside because many of the retail investors end up being all in. And so they don’t have a lot of capital to buy Bitcoin,” Back said. “Whereas if you look at public company stocks or big mutual funds… they might sell some Microsoft and buy some Tesla if they think Tesla’s cheaper at a given level. With Bitcoin, most of the investors are all in, so they don’t have that ability to sell something else to reallocate.”

U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam

The post U.S. Court Finds Pastor Found Guilty in $3M Crypto Scam appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime 18 September 2025 | 04:05 A Colorado judge has brought closure to one of the state’s most unusual cryptocurrency scandals, declaring INDXcoin to be a fraudulent operation and ordering its founders, Denver pastor Eli Regalado and his wife Kaitlyn, to repay $3.34 million. The ruling, issued by District Court Judge Heidi L. Kutcher, came nearly two years after the couple persuaded hundreds of people to invest in their token, promising safety and abundance through a Christian-branded platform called the Kingdom Wealth Exchange. The scheme ran between June 2022 and April 2023 and drew in more than 300 participants, many of them members of local church networks. Marketing materials portrayed INDXcoin as a low-risk gateway to prosperity, yet the project unraveled almost immediately. The exchange itself collapsed within 24 hours of launch, wiping out investors’ money. Despite this failure—and despite an auditor’s damning review that gave the system a “0 out of 10” for security—the Regalados kept presenting it as a solid opportunity. Colorado regulators argued that the couple’s faith-based appeal was central to the fraud. Securities Commissioner Tung Chan said the Regalados “dressed an old scam in new technology” and used their standing within the Christian community to convince people who had little knowledge of crypto. For him, the case illustrates how modern digital assets can be exploited to replicate classic Ponzi-style tactics under a different name. Court filings revealed where much of the money ended up: luxury goods, vacations, jewelry, a Range Rover, high-end clothing, and even dental procedures. In a video that drew worldwide attention earlier this year, Eli Regalado admitted the funds had been spent, explaining that a portion went to taxes while the remainder was used for a home renovation he claimed was divinely inspired. The judgment not only confirms that INDXcoin qualifies as a…
