Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor has been the loudest advocate for holding Bitcoin indefinitely (to the point where he has essentially become the face of the ultimate "HODL" philosophy).

Yet, during a recent earnings call, Saylor revealed that the company is ready to do the unthinkable: sell portions of its massive Bitcoin treasury.

Now, Saylor is setting the record straight in a new interview, claiming that the company will still end up buying way more Bitcoin if it sells some.

"Never sell"?
Saylor recently acknowledged his own role in creating the hysteria. "I'm very famous for saying never sell your Bitcoin," Saylor admitted. "And that's why the internet went crazy when we said we might sell it."

He has admitted that his famous "never sell" mantra actually clashes with strict corporate governance policy. "If I was being more precise, I'd say never be a net seller of Bitcoin," he explained. "It just wouldn't have been so viral or so catchy to say never be a net seller of Bitcoin."

The company's core accumulation strategy remains unchanged despite the recent selling pressure, according to Saylor.

Now, they aim to use targeted sales to fuel even larger acquisitions. "Even if we were to sell one Bitcoin, we'd be buying 10 to 20 more Bitcoin," Saylor noted. "So, you're really talking about a situation where we buy 10 Bitcoin, sell one Bitcoin, buy nine net Bitcoin, and continue to create Bitcoin."

Saylor has compared Strategy’s actions to a traditional tech giant reinvesting in its infrastructure. "If Google spent a billion dollars to invest in data centers so that they could make 10 billion... it wouldn't crash the dollar market. Oh, they spent a billion dollars to invest in their business. That's fine, right? And so it would be fine for Google. It's a rational thing to do. SSaylor R

This was the first time Bitcoin recorded its second consecutive daily close above the upper Bollinger Band since January. The setup has historically appeared ahead of some of BTC’s biggest rallies.

The XRP market has entered a phase of abnormal calm that may force traders to revisit charts from two years ago.

Experienced Analyst Identifies Two Resistance Levels for Bitcoin – “A Similar Pattern Has Been Seen Three Times Before in History”

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe, in his assessment of Bitcoin’s current market structure, highlighted two critical resistance zones that investors should watch.

According to Van de Poppe, the key levels for Bitcoin in the short term are the $86,000–$88,000 range and the $93,000–$95,000 range where the 50-week moving average is located.

The analyst noted that the first major upward movements in bull cycles often encounter strong resistance around previous support levels or the 50-week moving average. Van de Poppe stated that a similar pattern was observed in the 2017, 2021, and 2024 cycles.

According to Van de Poppe, Bitcoin could consolidate by moving sideways in these resistance zones for a few weeks. The analyst argued that this process could pave the way for new upward movements in the altcoin market.

However, the analyst also predicted that Bitcoin could experience a pullback towards the $70,000-$75,000 range after consolidation in resistance zones. Despite this, Van de Poppe stated that he believes current levels represent the bottom of a long-term bear market and that the overall market outlook is once again bullish.

Ethereum Dominance in DeFi Falls to 54%, Is ETH Losing Control of Biggest Market?

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has seen its dominance in the DeFi market fall to around 54%, down from 63.5% earlier this year, as competing blockchains continue capturing a larger share of the crypto ecosystem.

Now the big question is Ethereum losing its grip on DeFi dominance? While $ETH price has recovered to nearly $2,314.

Ethereum Dominance in DeFi Falls to 54%

According to DeFiLlama data, Ethereum’s share of total DeFi TVL dropped from 63.5% at the start of 2025 to roughly 54% this month, marking one of the network’s weakest dominance levels in years.

DeFiLlama currently values Ethereum’s total value locked at approximately $45.4 billion, far ahead of most competing blockchains.


However, other networks are rapidly absorbing market share by focusing on specialized use cases across the crypto ecosystem. Current DeFi TVL market share now stands at:

Solana: 6.66%

BNB: 6.60%

Bitcoin ecosystem: 6.35%

TRON: 6.17%

Base: 5.44%

Hyperliquid ecosystem: 1.81%

This shift suggests DeFi is evolving from a single Ethereum-centered ecosystem into a multi-chain market where each blockchain focuses on specific sectors like stablecoins, perpetual trading, Bitcoin collateral, or consumer applications.

Ethereum Whales Are Selling

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also pointed to a major shift happening among Ethereum whales.

According to Martinez, wallets holding between 1,000 and 10,000 $ETH have significantly reduced their holdings since October 2025.

This whale cohort previously accumulated aggressively during 2025, growing holdings from approximately 12.95 million $ETH in April 2025 to 15.95 million $ETH by October 2025

However, whale behavior later reversed sharply. Their combined holdings have now dropped to roughly 12.52 million $ETH, representing a decline of approximately 21.5%.

This large supply reduction suggests Ether

Engineers rebuild quorum and bring Coinbase markets back through cancel-only and auction modes
The matching engine was responsible for the largest trading stall. The matching engine processes orders and maintains order books. The system works in a distributed cluster and requires quorum before choosing a leader and conducting trades safely.

Since not all the nodes remained healthy due to the constraints in the data center during the outage, quorum could not be achieved, thereby preventing trading activities on the Retail, Advanced, and Institutional exchanges.

Rob mentioned that on-call support and engineering teams had to execute the company’s disaster recovery procedures, establish quorum, and assess system health under difficult infrastructure circumstances.

According to him, the team had to develop, test, deploy, and validate a solution while managing the broader outage. Kafka would have required extensive manual recovery because its partitioned architecture manages thousands of terabytes daily.

There were some problems with delayed balance streams because Kafka was behind. Rob stated that these issues with balances disappeared after replication became synchronized. According to Coinbase, no data was lost.

When the matching engine was back in service, markets were not re-enabled simultaneously. First, Coinbase switched all products to cancel-only mode, checked product statuses, switched all markets to auction mode, and finally, enabled trading on Coinbase Exchange.

Moreover, Rob emphasized that customers should not be locked out of their accounts

ADA Bullish Prediction: Can Cardano Repeat Its Historic 240% Rally?Aside from a few impressive but relatively brief upticks during the late 2024/early 2025 rally, Cardano’s native token has mostly underperformed in the last cycle.

While many other large-cap altcoins, alongside the market leader, managed to break their previous all-time highs last year, $ADA remained far from such a feat. Its subsequent decline was also quite painful, as it now trades over 90% below its record price seen in 2021. It’s also out of the top 10 alts by market cap, slipping to the 15th spot on CoinGecko.

However, popular analyst Ali Martinez noted that it has maintained a key level that has historically led to impressive price rallies, including one of triple digits.

$ADA to Bouce by 240%?

The support level in question is at $0.25, according to the analyst. In early 2023, $ADA managed to rebound swiftly from it after the major correction at the time, and jumped by 85% in a relatively short period of time. Although that’s an impressive feat, the September 2023 rally of 243% was even more profound after a successful bounce from that line.
