Crypto Research, Markets, and Digital Assets by Adam Livingston
Adam Livingston is a Bitcoin-focused writer and analyst, widely recognized for his content under “The Bitcoin Wizard” and authoring the independently published report The Bitcoin Age. Since launching a content strategy in early 2024, Livingston’s articles and videos have generated millions of views across YouTube and Substack. A recent analysis titled “STRC Explained” received more than 73,000 views, while his breakdown of MSTY versus IMST ETFs surpassed 136,000. These resources evaluate institutional Bitcoin products, synthetic yield vehicles, and spot ETF mechanics in the U.S. market.
Livingston frequently tracks the strategic BTC acquisitions by Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy. From late 2024 to mid‑2025, Strategy acquired approximately 285,980 BTC—more than the total number of coins mined in that timeframe—leading to what Livingston terms a “synthetic halving.” In addition to macroeconomic commentary, he uses blockchain-based metrics to highlight wallet consolidation patterns, ETF inflows, and declining exchange balances. His commentary appears in cross‑platform media roundups and Twitter Spaces with other analysts from firms like Ark and Swan.
