Ethereum ETF investors face 43% losses – Will outflows accelerate?

U.S. spot Ethereum ETF investors are facing significant losses, with an average cost basis of $3,520 and current prices around $1.95K, leaving them approximately 43% underwater. Despite the sharp decline, investors have shown resilience, reminiscent of their behavior during the 60% drop in early 2025, when outflows were limited. However, current net inflows have decreased from $15 billion to below $12 billion, with about $4 billion in outflows so far. Analysts warn that if the bear market follows historical patterns—particularly the 2022 trend—ETH could bottom between $1,000–$1,200 by late March 2026. Short-term caution prevails ahead of key U.S. macroeconomic data, though a recent $57 million inflow after three days of outflows offers some stability.

BTC Halved, DAT Companies Face Billions in Paper Losses: Who is 'Selling to Stop the Bleeding'?

BTC's sharp decline from its $120,000 peak in late 2025 to around $60,000 has triggered significant unrealized losses for several Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies, forcing some to sell off crypto holdings to manage financial strain. Cango Inc. sold 4,451 BTC (nearly half its holdings) to repay a BTC-collateralized loan, as mining costs exceeded Bitcoin's current price. Empery Digital, which bought BTC near the peak at around $117,000, sold portions of its holdings to fund share buybacks and debt repayment amid a 57% unrealized loss. Bitdeer shifted from a “HODL” strategy to regularly selling mined BTC to prioritize cash flow. Sequans Communications became the first DAT company to sell Bitcoin (970 BTC) to redeem convertible bonds, highlighting debt-driven sell-offs. ETHZilla, an Ethereum-focused DAT, sold over 32,000 ETH to manage leverage and transition toward real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. These moves underscore the vulnerability of highly leveraged DAT firms in a bear market. While large players may hold on, mid-tier and smaller companies face pressure to deleverage, signaling a market shift from narrative-driven expansion to financial survival and operational sustainability.

BitMine Buys Over 40,000 ETH As Sell-Off Deepens, Shrugs Off Massive Paper Losses

BitMine Immersion Technologies acquired 40,613 ETH (worth $83–84 million) during a market downturn, increasing its total holdings to approximately 4.32–4.33 million ETH. Despite facing an estimated $7.5–8 billion in unrealized paper losses due to Ether's price decline, Executive Chairman Tom Lee defended the strategy, viewing the dip as a buying opportunity and predicting a V-shaped recovery. The company’s stock (BMNR) fell roughly 5% following the announcement, reflecting investor concern over the immediate impact on net asset value. BitMine continues to stake part of its ETH to generate yield, betting on long-term price appreciation. The outcome hinges on Ether’s price trajectory and the firm’s ability to manage short-term losses through staking returns and strategic patience.

Bitcoin Realized Losses Dominate – Bear Market Pressure Intensifies

Bitcoin remains under pressure, struggling below $70,000 with limited upward momentum as market sentiment turns cautious. On-chain data from Darkfost shows realized losses dominate, with a profit-to-loss ratio near 0.25—meaning $4 in losses are locked in for every $1 in profit. This reflects a market where investors who bought near highs are now selling at a loss. Large holders are also reducing exposure, signaling fragile confidence. While recent data hints at slight stabilization, sustained recovery requires the purge of weak hands to rebuild unrealized profits and restore investor trust.

Bitcoin’s Latest Selloff Mirrors June 2022 As New Buyers Realize $1.5 Billion In Daily Losses

Bitcoin's recent selloff has triggered significant loss realization among recent investors, mirroring patterns seen during the June 2022 market bottom. According to on-chain data, buyers from 2025 and 2026 realized approximately $1.5 billion in daily losses during the downturn. The Net Realised Profit/Loss metric, which tracks net profit or loss from transactions, plunged into negative territory for these cohorts. While newer investors were selling at a loss, older investors largely took profits. Additionally, the Relative Unrealized Loss—unrealized loss as a percentage of market cap—rose to 16%, a level comparable to the May 2022 bear market. Bitcoin is currently trading around $69,300, down over 11% in the past week.

$40B erased in 4 months: Is Strategy’s Bitcoin bet backfiring?

Michael Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, is facing significant pressure as its substantial Bitcoin bet has led to over $3.5 billion in unrealized losses, with nearly $40 billion erased from its crypto portfolio in just four months. This downturn is directly tied to Bitcoin's recent crash, where its price fell 19% in a week, also causing MicroStrategy's stock to decline. The company remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with 713,502 BTC. Other firms that adopted a similar strategy, such as MARA Holdings, Metaplanet, and Riot Platforms, are also experiencing sharp stock declines. Widespread negative market sentiment, indicated by the Crypto Fear and Greed Index hitting "extreme fear," has prompted criticism from notable figures like Michael Burry and Peter Schiff, who question the long-term viability of this high-risk strategy. The situation is now an industry-wide stress test for crypto-linked corporations.

Why Bitcoin traders remain long despite $317M in daily BTC losses

Despite Bitcoin [BTC] experiencing intensified selling pressure with daily realized losses widening to a 3-day SMA of -$317 million, traders continue to hold long positions. This reflects exits from distressed holders and narrowing profit-taking opportunities, forcing newer entrants to sell at a loss. The current situation mirrors December 2022, when similar loss levels led to forced selling and weak hands exiting under tight liquidity, followed by gradual price stabilization. Capitulation is deepening as realized losses approach cycle extremes, with single-day losses exceeding $5 billion, rivaling late-2022 levels. Losses as a share of market cap are rising, indicating broader value destruction rather than isolated distress. The loss per coin moved is increasing, suggesting coins are being sold at steeper discounts. Despite Bitcoin's price weakness, long positioning is building, with the Long/Short Ratio often exceeding 2.5–3.0, highlighting traders' overweight bias on BTC for perceived safety. However, this leverage concentration increases systemic liquidation risk, as modest drawdowns could trigger cascading long squeezes. Traders remain heavily invested and at risk of further losses, reflecting a denial of broader downside risk amid an active downtrend.

Public Retirement Funds Hit by Sharp Decline Amid Bitcoin Slump

Eleven major U.S. public pension funds are reporting substantial unrealized losses totaling $337 million from their investments in microcap Strategy shares, a Bitcoin-linked equity. Their combined holdings, now worth $240 million, have fallen from $577 million due to a 67% stock decline over six months. Funds from New York, Florida, Wisconsin, and several other states saw values drop approximately 60%. Strategy’s leveraged Bitcoin exposure amplified losses during the crypto market slump, demonstrating how indirect Bitcoin investments through equities can inject high volatility into retirement portfolios. This may lead to a reassessment of such high-risk proxies in pension fund management.

Michael Saylor Under Fire After Claiming Bitcoin Will Surge To $10M Tomorrow If ‘People Agreed With Him’

Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, faces criticism after claiming Bitcoin could surge to $10 million "tomorrow" if people agreed with his views. His comments, made in a recent video, sparked online backlash as his company's massive Bitcoin holdings have slid into over $3.7 billion in unrealized losses amid the cryptocurrency's price decline. MicroStrategy recently purchased an additional 855 Bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to 713,502 coins acquired at an average cost of $76,052 each. The company's stock has also fallen significantly from its peak. Questions arise over whether Saylor or MicroStrategy might be forced to sell Bitcoin, though the company maintains it would only consider selling if its net asset value fell below 1x, which it currently remains above at 1.14.

Bitcoin News: ETFs Under Pressure – Record Losses for Investors

Bitcoin ETFs are facing significant pressure as the cryptocurrency market experiences one of its toughest tests since the launch of US spot ETFs. Bitcoin's price has fallen sharply to around $76,140, well below the average net cost basis of $82,405 for ETF investors. This has resulted in aggregate unrealized losses of approximately $7.31 billion—the largest since the ETFs began trading in January 2024. The decline marks a dramatic shift from mid-2025 when investors held over $80 billion in paper profits. Analysts are watching whether the $82,400 level will act as strong resistance during any recovery, as many may try to exit breakeven. Meanwhile, attention is shifting to Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions like Bitcoin Hyper, which aims to enhance network utility and scalability while offering staking yields up to 38% APY, positioning itself as a potential catalyst for the next market cycle.
