“买预期卖事实”情形出现?比特币失守4万美元关口!

金十Published on 2024-01-23Last updated on 2024-01-23

自1月11日首批直接投资于比特币的现货交易所交易基金(ETF)推出以来,比特币价格已经下跌了近20%部分原因是因为投机者对比特币产品的潜在影响变得更加谨慎,同时抛售量依旧很大。

在贝莱德和富达投资等发行方的比特币现货ETF上市当天,比特币价格一度飙升至49021美元。但截至周二,比特币跌破40000美元/枚,为去年12月4日以来首次,较此前高点下跌19%。

9只新的美国比特币现货基金于1月11日开始交易,同时220亿美元的灰度比特币信托基金(Grayscale Bitcoin Trust,简称GBTC)从封闭式结构转变为ETF。外媒的高级ETF分析师Eric Balchunas写道,在刚上市的头六天,这些ETF净流入了12亿美元。

Balchunas说,贝莱德的iShares比特币信托基金和富达智慧起源比特币基金获得了大部分资金流入,而灰度则有28亿美元流出。卖方中包括破产的加密交易所FTX的“遗产”,该交易所出售了其在Grayscale中的大部分股份。据CoinDesk报道,FTX已出售了其持有的2200万股,价值近10亿美元,使FTX的GBTC所有权降至零

摩根大通分析师Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou领导的团队在一篇报告中指出,如果GBTC的投资者继续获利了结,比特币价格在未来几周可能面临进一步下行压力

Fundstrat Global Advisors LLC数字资产策略主管Sean Farrell在一份报告中写道:

“过去两周,比特币受到了更严峻的宏观环境的挑战,利率上升和美元走强就是证据,此外,还有来自交易员平仓比特币套利头寸、FTX破产资产抛售的巨大抛压。”

摩根大通估计,GBTC的资金外流可能高达30亿美元。另外,该行还认为GBTC目前的1.5%费率与其他现货比特币ETF相比过高,这可能也带来了相当大的卖压。

不过,Farrell补充称,FTX的抛售可能消除供应过剩,暗示“来自GBTC的强烈抛售压力可能很快消退

比特币去年飙升近160%,表现优于股票等传统资产,外界猜测现货ETF的获批上市将促使机构和个人投资者更广泛地采用这种加密货币。不过,自今年年初以来,该代币一直在回落,并落后于全球市场。

No Sales Team, $20 Million in Revenue: How Did AI Employee Viktor Win Over 30,000 Companies?

The AI employee Viktor, developed by a team with DeepMind background, has achieved $20 million in annual revenue without a traditional sales team, serving over 30,000 companies. Its core innovation lies in positioning itself as a "Tier 3 AI Coworker" capable of "end-to-end execution and delivery of results," moving beyond the "draft and wait for human completion" model of typical AI assistants. Users can simply mention Viktor in Slack or Microsoft Teams using natural language commands, and it autonomously performs tasks like pulling sales data from a CRM, generating reports, or even cross-tool operations like creating board meeting PPTs by aggregating data from six different sources. Key to its growth is a pure Product-Led Growth (PLG) model, eliminating complex implementation cycles and per-seat licensing. Instead, it charges based on task credits or consumption, lowering the trial barrier with a $100 free credit offer and no credit card required. This enabled viral, bottom-up adoption within organizations. Viktor's interaction paradigm removes the barrier of prompt engineering, allowing non-technical employees to delegate complex workflows seamlessly. It also features proactive, automated task execution (e.g., overnight bookkeeping, scheduled reports) based on triggers, effectively embedding AI as an automated "process layer" within business operations. However, its expansion into Microsoft Teams—a platform with 320 million users—highlights challenges. Large enterprises require stringent IT compliance, security reviews (e.g., SOC 2), and governance, potentially hindering the frictionless, user-driven adoption that succeeded in Slack. Additionally, the "black box" nature of its autonomous decision-making raises concerns about operational risks, data integrity, and the need for robust audit logs and permission controls. Balancing efficiency gains with security and trust remains a critical hurdle for Viktor and similar AI agents aiming to become core enterprise infrastructure.

Manus Buyback Plan Emerges: Chinese Investors Plan to Repurchase Equity with $2 Billion, Path to Hong Kong IPO Becomes Clearer

According to a report by The Information, early Chinese investors of Manus, including Tencent, Sequoia Capital China, and ZhenFund, are planning to repurchase the company from Meta for $2 billion—the same price Meta paid in its acquisition last December. This move is a direct response to the Chinese government's prohibition of the foreign acquisition in April. As part of the repurchase plan, Manus is considering establishing a Sino-foreign joint venture within China. This structure is seen as a way to ensure regulatory compliance for its Chinese investors and to pave the way for a future IPO in Hong Kong. Notably, U.S. investor Benchmark will not participate in the buyback, which will concentrate ownership even more among Chinese capital. Since its acquisition by Meta, Manus's business has grown rapidly, with its annualized revenue run rate reportedly increasing four-to-fivefold to $400-$500 million in roughly six months. This strong growth underpins the investors' willingness to repurchase at the original price. Financially, the forced unwinding of the deal may benefit the early investors, allowing them to regain equity at a cost far below the company's current implied valuation, with the added prospect of an independent future listing. However, specific terms of the repurchase, including funding proportions and the joint venture's equity structure, are still under negotiation. This "repurchase-joint venture-Hong Kong IPO" approach could serve as a reference model for other Chinese AI startups navigating cross-border M&A regulations.

STRC Loses Peg by 11%, Can Strategy's Perpetual Motion Machine Keep Running?

The article discusses the significant and concerning depegging of MicroStrategy's (MSTR) preferred stock, STRC. Designed to trade near its $100 target par value, STRC has recently fallen sharply, reaching a low of $83.26 and closing at $88.59, representing an over 11% discount. STRC is a core component of MicroStrategy's financial strategy. As a perpetual preferred stock, it allows the company to raise capital through an "at-the-market" (ATM) issuance program without diluting common shareholders (MSTR). This capital is primarily used to purchase Bitcoin, creating a "capital flywheel": issuing STRC → raising cash → buying BTC → increasing net assets → supporting STRC's value. The flywheel's operation depends on STRC maintaining its $100 price. To enforce this, MicroStrategy employs a dynamic dividend mechanism, recently raising the rate to 11.5% and increasing payout frequency. However, this has failed to halt the depegging, indicating market concerns extend beyond yield. Analysts cite two main reasons. First, technical factors like forced liquidations from leveraged arbitrage trades may have exacerbated the sell-off. Second, and more fundamentally, is waning confidence in MicroStrategy's financial resilience. A JPMorgan report highlighted the company's limited cash relative to its ~$1.7 billion annual dividend obligation, raising liquidity concerns. While MicroStrategy counters that its massive Bitcoin holdings provide decades of coverage, this argument relies on the potential need to sell BTC—a departure from its long-standing "never sell" narrative. The company's recent sale of a small amount of Bitcoin for "testing," despite being framed as minor, has intensified these fears. The persistent depegging threatens to cripple MicroStrategy's primary funding channel. If STRC remains discounted, the company's ability to fund further Bitcoin purchases weakens. Should cash reserves dwindle while financing is constrained, the market may increasingly price in the risk of MicroStrategy becoming a forced seller of Bitcoin to meet obligations. This shift from a major marginal buyer to a potential seller could pose significant downside risk to the broader Bitcoin market.
