Strategy Issues Preferred Stock to Steady Bitcoin Bet

Strategy is increasing its issuance of preferred stock to continue accumulating Bitcoin while reducing the impact of market volatility on its common shares. The new preferred product, named "Stretch," offers a variable dividend currently set at 11.25%, adjusted monthly to keep the stock trading near its $100 par value. This structure aims to attract investors seeking exposure to digital assets but wanting to avoid Bitcoin's typical price swings. The company raised approximately $370 million through common stock and $7 million via preferred shares in a recent offering, using the funds to expand its Bitcoin holdings to over 714,000 BTC, valued at around $48 billion. Despite Bitcoin's significant price decline, Strategy remains committed to its long-term accumulation strategy and aims to strengthen its balance sheet by reducing refinancing risks and limiting dilution through preferred shares.

Strong jobs report shakes the market – Could Bitcoin drop below $60K next?

The strong January U.S. jobs report, which far exceeded expectations, has significantly impacted market sentiment and expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The probability of a near-term cut fell sharply, increasing volatility. This shift is particularly relevant for Bitcoin, which dipped following the data release. The article argues this reinforces the importance of the upcoming March FOMC meeting in setting the tone for risk assets. Technically, Bitcoin is described as fragile, trapped in a volatile range between $65k and $70k. It has repeatedly failed to turn key resistance levels into support, putting pressure on its current floor. This setup, combined with the macro uncertainty over interest rates, reduces the incentive for short-term holders to remain invested. The mounting headwinds increase the likelihood of a wave of selling (capitulation), which could break the $65k support level and put the $60k threshold at risk.

JPMorgan Turns Bullish on Cryptocurrencies Following a Slip in BTC Production Cost

JPMorgan has turned bullish on cryptocurrencies, citing a decline in Bitcoin's production cost to around $77,000. The bank anticipates a market recovery by 2026, driven by potential institutional inflows and clearer US crypto regulations. It notes that prolonged low prices may pressure miners but expects the trend to self-correct. JPMorgan also highlights Bitcoin's long-term appeal compared to Gold, despite recent underperformance, due to lower volatility. BTC is currently trading at $67,160.83, with forecasts suggesting a 30% rise in three months. Overall market sentiment remains bearish, with hopes pinned on regulatory clarity and economic indicators.

Bitcoin’s ‘True Value’ Is $0, Says Under Fire Financial Times Columnist, Claims Altcoins Destroy Its Scarcity

A Financial Times columnist, Jemima Kelly, has sparked controversy by claiming Bitcoin's "true value is zero," arguing it lacks intrinsic worth and that its scarcity is undermined by the unlimited supply of alternative cryptocurrencies. She contends Bitcoin's value relies solely on belief and is propped up by influential holders promoting new narratives, such as AI adoption, to sustain interest. Her comments, made during a CNBC appearance, drew significant backlash from Bitcoin advocates who argue its market price, global utility, and sustained demand demonstrate clear value. Despite the criticism, institutional exposure to crypto continues growing, with Goldman Sachs reporting over $2 billion in spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF holdings and expanding into XRP and Solana ETFs. Meanwhile, Russian banks are beginning to offer crypto-collateralized loans, signaling further institutional integration.

Risk-Off Signals Dominate As Bitcoin Tests Market Conviction – Details

Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000 and is testing support at $65,000 amid fragile market conditions and persistent selling pressure. A CryptoQuant report indicates a deteriorating macro backdrop, with U.S. retail sales and wage growth both slowing, signaling a potential economic inflection point. This environment reinforces a risk-off sentiment, causing Bitcoin to behave similarly to equities. The Coinbase Premium Gap remains negative, suggesting weak U.S. spot demand and derivative-driven price action. A shift to positive premiums, supported by ETF inflows, would be needed to improve the medium-term outlook.

Bitcoin Drops Below $67K as Market Correlation Shifts and ETF Exposure Declines

Bitcoin has fallen below $67,000, trading near $66,900 with a 3.4% drop in 24 hours. Analysis shows its price movement is now more correlated with high-growth tech stocks rather than traditional safe havens like gold, indicating it behaves as a risk-on asset. This shift is partly due to institutional adoption via spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have embedded it deeper within traditional portfolios. Some major institutions are reducing ETF exposure and reallocating to other tokens. Technical breakdowns triggered over $250 million in liquidations, and reclaiming $72,000 is seen as key for stabilizing momentum. Bitcoin's role is evolving from an alternative asset to one increasingly mirroring risk assets, emphasizing the need to monitor flows and cross-market linkages.

Bitcoin ETFs rebound with $166.5M inflows despite BTC price dip

Bitcoin ETFs saw a significant rebound with $166.5 million in inflows on February 10, reversing a trend of recent outflows. Leading the inflows were ARKB, FBTC, and IBIT. Despite this renewed institutional interest, Bitcoin's price declined by 3% to around $66,820, and on-chain activity decreased, indicating weaker short-term interest. However, Bitcoin's market dominance remained strong at 59%, suggesting large investors are accumulating while smaller traders exit. The derivatives market also saw a healthy reset as open interest halved, reducing systemic risk. Inflows were also recorded in Ethereum, Solana, and XRP ETFs, signaling institutional diversification beyond Bitcoin. The market appears to be stabilizing, with long-term investment growing amid reduced volatility.

Binance Founder CZ Reveals How Bitcoin Turned Him Into A Billionaire

Binance founder Changpeng "CZ" Zhao first learned about Bitcoin in 2013 during a poker game in Shanghai, initially introduced to it by a friend. After a second friend, Bobby Lee, advised him to invest 10% of his net worth, Zhao began studying Bitcoin more seriously. Despite feeling he had missed the opportunity as prices surged, he sold his Shanghai apartment for approximately $900,000 and used the proceeds to buy Bitcoin at an average price of around $600. This marked the start of his deep involvement in crypto, leading to roles at early crypto firms and eventually founding Binance. His conviction in Bitcoin as a foundational technology, similar to the internet, drove his decisions. Today, estimates of his wealth vary, with Forbes listing it at nearly $79 billion, making him one of the world's richest individuals.

Structural Weakness

Since recording an all-time high in early October, Bitcoin has entered a structurally weak phase, trading within a range bounded by the Realized Price near $55k and the True Market Mean around $79.2k. The market is currently testing the $60k–$72k accumulation range from H1 2024, where buyer support has emerged, but overhead supply and negative institutional flows pose significant resistance. Off-chain data shows broad de-risking, with Digital Asset Treasury flows turning negative and spot volume lacking sustained demand. Derivatives markets indicate reduced speculative activity, elevated implied volatility, and persistent demand for downside protection, reflecting a cautious and fragile sentiment. Without a strong catalyst or renewed institutional demand, Bitcoin is likely to remain range-bound with elevated volatility, as the market struggles to establish a durable foundation for upward momentum.
