Jiang Zhuoer, CEO of BTCTOP and one of China’s best-known Bitcoin mining figures, pushed back against fears that Strategy could become a major forced seller of BTC, arguing that the company’s balance-sheet risk remains manageable even under a severe Bitcoin drawdown. In a post on X, Jiang said he does not believe MicroStrategy, now Strategy, will “substantially net sell BTC,” pointing to a group discussion he shared on the company’s liabilities, STRC interest payments, funding structure and market concerns. The comments come as investors debate whether Strategy’s Bitcoin-backed capital markets model could come under pressure if BTC weakens further or if demand for STRC remains fragile. Bitcoin Panic Over Strategy Overblown? At the center of Jiang’s argument is the distinction between selling some Bitcoin and becoming a net seller of Bitcoin. He argued that a limited sale of older, low-cost BTC could be used to demonstrate realized investment gains, support STRC-related payments and rea

Ethereum has reclaimed the $1,650 level after the massive drop that defined last week’s market action — a recovery attempt that has provided some relief after a correction that tested the resolve of even the most conviction-driven holders. The bounce is welcome — but data from Arkham Intelligence has surfaced the trading history of a wallet that made the drop look like exactly what it was: an anticipated event rather than a surprise.

On-Chain Data Points To One Missing Ingredient The wallet — identified as belonging to an Ethereum OG, a holder whose history with the asset extends back to the earliest phases of its existence — executed a series of exits before the crash that, in retrospect, represent one of the most precisely timed large-scale risk reductions visible in the on-chain data. Before the breakdown, the wallet sold 60,000 ETH worth approximately $117.25 million and 9,442 wstETH worth approximately $24 million — both at an average price

Monday’s Bitcoin (BTC) rebound—pushing back above the $63,00 area—has revived a major question: was last Friday’s drop to $59,000 the bottom for BTC?  Seeking to answer that, market analyst Ali Martinez released a new technical note on X (formerly Twitter), arguing that Bitcoin appears poised to reach a market bottom while a “major macro accumulation cycle” begins to form. Why The Sell-off Could Signal A Bottom In Martinez’s view, BTC’s decline to its lowest level since 2024 served as an important cleansing function for the market—effectively shaking out “overleveraged premiums” across the board.  That type of flush, Martinez argues, is often what makes bottoms possible: it removes leverage stress and forces late and speculative positions to unwind.
