Is GameStop Dumping Its Bitcoin Treasury? Here’s How Much BTC They Have Moved to Coinbase Prime

GameStop has transferred 2,396 BTC (worth approximately $217 million) to Coinbase Prime in two transactions—100 BTC on January 17 and 2,296 BTC on January 20. This represents about 51% of its total Bitcoin holdings of 4,710 BTC, originally acquired in mid-2025 at an average price of around $106,000 per Bitcoin. The move has sparked speculation that the company may be preparing to sell its Bitcoin, as transfers to a brokerage platform like Coinbase Prime often signal intent to liquidate rather than hold long-term. However, no official announcement has been made, and the transfers could also reflect routine treasury management or strategic rebalancing. Notably, Bitcoin is currently trading around $90,800—below GameStop’s acquisition cost—meaning any sale would likely result in significant losses. As a public company, GameStop would be required to disclose major sales in future SEC filings. The situation highlights the risks and volatility associated with corporate Bitcoin treasuries.

MACD Real Backtest: Can Technical Indicators Lead You to Profit?

Based on a comprehensive 5-year backtest of the MACD trading strategy on BTC and ETH, this analysis delivers a sobering reality check for traders. The key finding is that 90% of short-term trading activity, particularly lower timeframes (15m, 30m, 1h), underperforms a simple "buy and hold" strategy due to transaction costs, noise, and psychological strain. The "benchmark" returns for simply holding the assets were +48.86% for BTC and +53.00% for ETH. The data reveals that MACD strategy performance is highly dependent on timeframe and leverage: * **Short Timeframes (15m, 30m, 1h):** Nearly all configurations resulted in significant losses or complete liquidation (-100%), severely underperforming the buy-and-hold benchmark. * **4-Hour Timeframe:** This was the only timeframe where the MACD strategy consistently generated alpha. * **BTC 4h (1x leverage):** ~+96% return, successfully outperforming buy-and-hold by avoiding major bear markets. * **ETH 4h (1x leverage):** ~+205% return, dramatically outperforming its buy-and-hold benchmark due to ETH's strong trend-following characteristics. * **Leverage Impact:** Leverage (2x, 3x) on the 4h timeframe amplified these gains effectively (e.g., ETH 4h 3x leverage yielded +552%). However, higher leverage (5x) often led to diminished returns due to funding fees and volatility decay, despite increased risk. The "Death Matrix" of results shows that short-term, high-leverage trading is akin to gambling" with a near-certain outcome of failure. The final recommendation is clear: for most investors, a buy-and-hold strategy is superior to active trading on low timeframes. For those seeking to outperform, the only viable approach is applying moderate leverage (2x-3x) exclusively on the 4-hour timeframe, with ETH presenting the best opportunity for significant excess returns.

Lighter drops 14% after losing $2 support – More pain ahead for LIT?

LIT has experienced significant bearish pressure, dropping 14% to $1.86 after losing the crucial $2 support level. The decline intensified following a rejection at $3.2, extending a week-long downtrend. Despite the negative price action, Lighter launched LIT staking, which quickly attracted 10% of the circulating supply. Analysts are divided on the impact: some see it as a bullish development due to potential fee revenue, while others warn it could increase selling pressure as users withdraw from liquidity pools to buy and stake LIT. On-chain data reveals substantial losses for whales, including one with a $2.84 million unrealized loss on a leveraged long position. Liquidations have surged, with $8.7 million total liquidated recently. Technical indicators like the Stochastic RSI (2.3) and RSI (44) suggest strong seller dominance. If selling continues, LIT could fall toward $1.5; a demand recovery, potentially from staking, could push it back to $2.6.

Fact Check: How Much Money Did the University of Chicago Really Lose in Cryptocurrency Trading?

Fact Check: Did the University of Chicago Lose Billions in Cryptocurrency Investments? A claim by Professor Zhao Dingxin suggested the University of Chicago lost over $6 billion in cryptocurrency investments, leading to budget cuts. However, the university’s official statement denies significant crypto losses, describing its crypto investments as "relatively small" and having doubled over five years. Financial reports show the university’s endowment ranged between $10.9–11.6 billion in recent years. A loss of $6 billion would require an implausibly large and risky allocation. More reliable sources, including the Stanford Daily, report actual crypto losses in the tens of millions—not billions. The university’s 2022 financial report indicated a drop in crypto holdings from $64 million to $45 million within a year, suggesting a loss of around $19 million. The university did experience a $1.5 billion total investment loss in FY2022, though it is unclear how much was related to crypto. Critics point to other major financial pressures, including $9.2 billion in debt from aggressive expansion and infrastructure projects. Administrative salaries also rose significantly during this period. In response to financial strain, the university is implementing budget cuts and plans to enroll more undergraduate students to increase revenue. The claim of a $6 billion crypto loss appears exaggerated and unsupported by official data.

Bitcoin Sell-Side Risk Ratio Falls To Lowest Since Oct ’23: What It Means

Bitcoin's Sell-Side Risk Ratio has recently plummeted to its lowest level since October 2023, indicating subdued investor conviction behind selling at current price levels. This on-chain metric, which measures the ratio of realized profits and losses against Bitcoin's Realized Cap, had spiked during November's price crash but has since declined sharply. The drop suggests reduced market activity and lower volatility. Additionally, retail investor demand remains weak, with a key metric tracking small transactions staying negative despite recent price gains. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $94,300, up over 3% in 24 hours.

Tracing LIT’s road to recovery after whale’s $1.8M loss and revenue troubles

LIT faces significant challenges following a whale's $1.8 million loss on a long position and alarmingly low revenue of only $8,450 on January 12. These issues have eroded investor confidence and raised doubts about the token's utility and sustainability. Despite these setbacks, there are slight positive signals: Futures Open Interest has increased, indicating ongoing market participation, and liquidity is clustering above the $2.7 level, which could act as a support zone. A break above this level with strong volume might pave the way for recovery, but without decisive upward momentum, LIT remains in a fragile state with an uncertain future.

Bitcoin Enters Loss-Dominant Phase: Short-Term Holder SOPR Weakens

Bitcoin is testing the $90,000 support level amid a phase of tightening volatility and fragile market conviction. On-chain data indicates that short-term holders have been consistently selling at a loss since mid-October 2025. The Short-Term Holder SOPR (7-day average) remains below 1.0, currently at 0.994, confirming persistent loss realization. The SOPR Z-Score of -0.58 further signals that this trend is statistically significant and aligned with historical local bottoms. This reflects ongoing distribution from short-term investors despite strong long-term structural support. A sustained recovery would require the SOPR to climb back above 1.0 with a positive Z-Score.

TRUMP memecoin slips near $5.4 as whales exit at 50% loss – What now?

Trump (TRUMP) memecoin declined to around $5.4, continuing a downtrend after failing to reclaim $5.6. The token has been range-bound within a descending channel since peaking near $9.5 two months ago. Whale activity has shifted significantly, with large holders selling consistently for 11 consecutive days after months of accumulation inactivity. One whale sold 437K TRUMP tokens at a 50% loss of $2.35 million, signaling eroding long-term conviction rather than tactical repositioning. Momentum indicators show strengthening bearish control, with price below key EMAs. If selling continues, TRUMP could test support near $5.0–$4.6. A reclaim of the 50 EMA near $5.5 is needed for a potential trend reversal.

Telegram's 'Crypto Accounting': Surging Revenue Behind Net Losses and the $450 Million Token Sale Controversy

Telegram's recent unaudited financials reveal a paradox: while its H1 2025 revenue surged 65% year-over-year to $870 million, it reported a net loss of $222 million. This was primarily due to a sharp devaluation of its TON token holdings, which fell over 73% during the crypto market downturn. Revenue growth was driven by an 88% increase in premium subscriptions ($223 million), a 5% rise in ads ($125 million), and nearly $300 million from its exclusive partnership with the TON blockchain. However, the company’s significant crypto assets led to major accounting losses. Telegram also sold over $450 million worth of TON tokens, sparking community concerns about potential "dumping." Officials clarified that these sales—mainly to long-term investors like TONStrategy (TONX)—came with four-year vesting periods to avoid immediate sell pressure. Founder Pavel Durov emphasized that the move aimed to decentralize TON ownership and fund development, not just cash out. As Telegram eyes a potential IPO by 2026–2027, its deep ties to TON present both a growth engine and a volatility risk. The company recently raised $1.7 billion in convertible notes from investors like BlackRock, but its IPO plans face regulatory and legal hurdles, including ongoing investigations involving Durov in France.

Telegram's 'Crypto Accounting': Surging Revenue Behind Net Losses and the $450 Million Token Sale Controversy

Telegram's recent unaudited financials reveal a paradox: soaring revenues accompanied by net losses. In H1 2025, revenue surged 65% year-over-year to $870 million, driven by an 88% jump in premium subscriptions ($223 million) and a key partnership with the TON blockchain, which contributed nearly $300 million. Despite an operating profit of nearly $400 million, the company reported a net loss of $222 million. This was primarily due to a significant write-down of its TON token holdings, whose value fell over 73% during the crypto market downturn. A major point of controversy was Telegram's sale of over $450 million worth of TON tokens, representing more than 10% of the token's circulating supply. Community concerns about a cash grab were addressed by TONStrategy Chairman Manuel Stotz, who clarified that the sales were to long-term investors like his NASDAQ-listed firm TONX. The tokens are subject to a four-year vesting period to prevent immediate selling pressure. Founder Pavel Durov framed this as part of a strategy to decentralization, aiming to keep Telegram's ownership of TON below 10% to avoid centralization concerns. Telegram's path to a potential IPO is being watched closely. The company has raised significant capital through bonds, including a recent $1.7 billion convertible note with terms favorable to investors if an IPO occurs before 2030. However, an ongoing legal investigation in France involving Durov presents a potential obstacle. With nearly 1 billion monthly active users, Telegram's deep integration with the volatile crypto ecosystem remains a double-edged sword—a major growth driver but also a source of financial risk—that investors must weigh.
