Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. It enables peer-to-peer electronic cash transactions without intermediaries like banks or governments, operating on a blockchain secured by Proof of Work mining and the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.   With a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins and programmatic halvings every four years that reduce miner rewards, Bitcoin is designed as a deflationary digital asset often called "digital gold." Its value stems from solving the double-spending problem without trusted intermediaries, creating the first truly scarce digital asset with censorship resistance and permissionless access that no government, corporation, or individual can control.  Bitcoin operates as a decentralized peer-to-peer network where transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain, distributed across thousands of computers globally. Transactions are grouped into blocks added approximately every 10 minutes through mining, where specialized computers compete to solve complex mathematical puzzles.   Bitcoin has achieved mainstream adoption through multiple vectors. The January 2024 SEC approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs opened Bitcoin investment to traditional finance participants, and corporations like Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) are using Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to protect against currency debasement, offering MSTR holders amplified exposure to Bitcoin.   The Bitcoin ecosystem continues to evolve with innovations like Ordinals, which emerged in January 2023 to enable NFT-like functionality directly on Bitcoin, and BRC-20 tokens, an experimental standard for creating fungible tokens using Ordinal inscriptions. BTCFi (Bitcoin Finance) represents emerging financial applications extending beyond Bitcoin's traditional role, with protocols like Babylon allowing Bitcoin holders to stake BTC to secure Proof of Stake chains.

Likely ETF Winners & Losers From Winter Storm Fern

Winter Storm Fern rattles the United States, lifting heating demand and natural gas prices as UNG stands out while airlines and consumers face headwinds.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>CEO Stephen Hemsley released a prepared testimony ahead of his appearance before the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health later this week.</li><li>Hemsley called on lawmakers to pursue broader reforms to health savings accounts, care delivery rules, patent laws, and drug pricing to improve healthcare affordability.</li><li>UnitedHealth negotiated nearly $300 billion in discounts in 2025, Hemsley said.</li></ul>UnitedHealth Group Inc. (UNH) plans to refund profits from its Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans, famously known as Obamacare, to customers in 2026, a move that comes as Congress debates whether to extend enhanced tax credits that support those plans.The announcement was made by chief executive officer Stephen Hemsley in a prepared testimony released ahead of his appearance before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Energy &amp; Commerce, Subcommittee on Health, later this week.Earlier this month, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to extend ACA subsidies for another three years. The measure passed 230–196, with support from 213 Democrats and 17 Republicans, renewing Obamacare tax credits that had expired at the end of 2025. The bill now heads to the Senate for further consideration.Insurers have faced mounting pressure from President Donald Trump, who has opposed extending the additional ACA subsidies.“Though UnitedHealthcare is a relatively small participant in the individual ACA market, we will voluntarily eliminate and rebate our profits this year for these coverages,” Hemsley’s statement read.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Thin Margins</h2>UnitedHealth executives have previously described ACA margins as thin. Chief Financial Officer Wayne DeVeydt said in November that the business was expected to generate “low single-digit” margins. The company also raised ACA premiums by an average of 25% for 2026.Hemsley urged lawmakers to consider broader reforms, including changes to health savings accounts, site-of-care rules, patent laws, and drug pricing, to help make healthcare more affordable and sustainable over time.In the prepared testimony, Hemsley emphasized broader cost pressures across the U.S. healthcare system, noting that healthcare spending per person has surged over the past 25 years, driven by rising hospital prices, prescription drug costs, and specialty care. He highlighted UnitedHealth’s efforts to mitigate those pressures, including negotiating nearly $300 billion in discounts last year.At the time of writing, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UNH">UNH stock</a> was up 2.4% while shares of insurers with heavier exposure to ACA coverage dropped sharply, with <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CNC">Centene Corp shares</a> sliding 2.4% and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/OSCR">Oscar Health stock</a> falling 7%.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Potentially Masterful Move</h2>Baird sees UnitedHealth's plan to rebate its ACA profit to customers as a “potentially masterful move”.&nbsp; If the company’s announcement leads the government to implement health exchange profit rebate measures, “this could be a masterful chess move in placing potential pressure on competitor HIX plans who heavily rely on these profits in 2026,” the brokerage added.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>Retail sentiment for UNH changed to ‘neutral’ from ‘extremely bearish’ a day earlier. One Stocktwits user highlighted the company’s strength.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/dan4100/message/642413792</stembedurl>Another user sees a move beyond the $350 and $367 levels, leading to a rally toward $400.

(UNH) shares have drawn heavy interest from retail investors on Friday morning as it appears set to clear a key hurdle at $340 following the U.S. Senate’s rejection of Republican and Democratic proposals to address expiring healthcare subsidies.The $340 mark coincides with the stock’s 50-day moving average (50-DMA), currently at around $340.71 – a key hurdle which, if crossed, will be considered as a positive signal for the short term. Ever since late October, UNH stock has been in a corrective mode, sliding from its high of $381 following its third-quarter earnings.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1315/927;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/UNH_png_a079cadf0a.webp" alt="UNH.png" width="1315" height="927"><figcaption>UNH-50 DMA on Dec. 11, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Though revenue rose 12% to $113.2 billion in the quarter, higher medical costs and Medicare funding cuts pressured profits.

The stock has stayed below its 200-day moving average since mid-April.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Healthcare Plan Deadlock</h2>On Thursday, insurance stocks rose after the U.S. Senate rejected proposals to address expiring healthcare subsidies. Although ACA premiums are expected to increase and tax credits are ending this year, investors had largely priced in the impact. They reportedly viewed the Republican plan as the bigger risk.That plan would eliminate the enhanced tax credits and instead put the funds into Health Savings Accounts for those buying bronze or “catastrophic” ACA plans, providing $1,000 for individuals aged 18 to 49, and $1,500 for those aged 50 to 64.<h2 class="st-heading-2">UnitedHealth’s Financial Plans</h2>Last month, UnitedHealth launched a three-year turnaround plan aimed at restoring profitability and what the new CFO, Wayne DeVite, described as the company’s “swagger” by 2027. The strategy includes dropping unprofitable Medicare Advantage and ACA plans, and sharpening its focus on U.S. operations.UnitedHealth also priced its 2026 plans with a higher 10% medical-cost trend to address inflation pressures. As part of the overhaul, the company plans to sell non-core international assets, reduce debt, and resume share buybacks in late 2026. It has already agreed to sell its final South American asset, Banmedica, to Patria Investments for about $1 billion.Despite raising its 2025 profit outlook and signaling strong momentum into 2026 and 2027, the company still faces elevated medical costs, especially in its Medicaid business.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits shifted to ‘bearish’ from ‘extremely bearish’ a day earlier. <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UNH">UNH</a> was also among the top trending tickers on the platform.One user sees $340 as a crucial level.
