Welcome to Stock Market Today — your market briefing with actionable insights on stocks, bonds, crypto, and the events moving markets. Let's get into it. Bitcoin trades at sixty-three thousand six hundred thirty dollars after Wednesday's in-line CPI failed to spark a breakout. Headline inflation rose point one percent monthly, three point four percent annually—matching forecasts. Core inflation eased to two point five percent. The modest print pushed Fed pause odds to sixty percent for September but didn't lift risk assets. Bitcoin remains trapped between sixty-three thousand and sixty-eight thousand since June. Goldman Sachs made its biggest crypto bet—a two point two five billion dollar deal to acquire NEOS Investments, manager of the B T C I Bitcoin income ETF holding one point one billion in assets. This vaults Goldman past one hundred thirty billion in total ETF assets, ranking it eighth globally among active managers. NEOS co-founders join Goldman as partners when the deal closes in early twenty twenty-seven. Treasury market stress is escalating as rising yields create portfolio-wide impacts. Bitcoin treasury strategies face uncomfortable revelations—Strategy and Metaplanet are sitting on combined unrealized losses near ten billion dollars. Metaplanet reports a one point five billion dollar paper loss on forty-three thousand B T C, while Strategy's eight point two billion loss underscores concentration risk when debt finances single-token exposure.
