3X in 3 Days. ORDI Completely Ignites Inscriptions Sector, Will It Boost Bitcoin Prices?

TradingKey - The surge in Inscriptions will drive miner revenue, alleviate selling pressure on Bitcoin prices, and potentially lead to a portion of profits flowing back into Bitcoin.

On April 17, ORDI, the leading Bitcoin Inscription token, skyrocketed by over 80% once again, breaking through the $10 mark and reaching a peak near $10.7, a new high since last September. Over the past three days, ORDI prices have surged from a low of $2.43, with a maximum gain of 330%; the price has since pulled back and is currently trading around $7.77.

During the same period, SATS, the second-largest Bitcoin Inscription, also saw a three-day winning streak, rising from a low of $0.00000001137 to $0.00000002541, representing a maximum increase of 123%. As of press time, SATS has also retreated slightly, currently trading at $0.00000002063. What puzzles investors is why Bitcoin Inscriptions have suddenly experienced this "retaliatory surge"?

Although the first round of negotiations between the U.S. and Iran did not yield significant progress, the market remains optimistic about the second round. This has shifted market sentiment from risk-aversion to risk-on, with investment styles moving from stability toward risk. Consequently, as Bitcoin stabilized at $74,000, capital began seeking more aggressive opportunities, driving demand for highly volatile altcoins, with the Inscription sector being among the selected categories.

Bitcoin Inscriptions largely peaked at the end of 2023. During that time, ORDI hit a high near $90, while SATS rose to $0.00009261. Subsequently, the Inscription sector retraced before surging again in early 2024, when ORDI reached a new all-time high of $96, while SATS remained roughly flat with its previous peak. To date, both ORDI and SATS have fallen by more than 90%, with their RSI indices entering extreme oversold territory, making them primary targets for capital allocation.

In fact, due to the prolonged slump in the Inscription sector throughout 2025, market depth has thinned. In such a liquidity-scarce environment, even small capital inflows can trigger extreme price elasticity; this explains how ORDI achieved a rebound in a single day that previously took a year. In other words, market makers can drive massive price spikes with minimal capital, encountering little selling resistance while reaping exceptionally high returns.

It is worth noting that the price surge in Bitcoin Inscriptions is also a significant positive for the underlying asset, Bitcoin ( BTC) . First, the surge in the Inscription sector will drive significant profits back into BTC or attract investors to purchase BTC to participate in inscription minting and trading. Second, inscription activities consume substantial block space, forcing senders to pay higher transaction fees, which increases miner revenue and naturally alleviates their selling pressure.

During market downturns, miners are forced to sell large quantities of Bitcoin to cover daily expenses, warranting caution. According to data from TheMinerMag, MARA Holdings Inc ( MARA ), Riot Platforms ( RIOT ), CleanSpark Inc ( CLSK ), Core Scientific ( CORZ) and other North American mining firms sold 32,000 BTC over the past quarter, exceeding the total volume for the entire year of 2025 and setting a new quarterly record.
