Dormant Bitcoin awakens – Analyzing BTC cycle’s key liquidity test

This cycle is witnessing an unprecedented reactivation of long-dormant Bitcoin supply, far exceeding the levels seen in the 2017-2018 bull market. Over 1.6 million BTC, valued at approximately $150-160 billion, have moved since 2024. This distribution is occurring during price expansions, signals calculated profit-taking by long-term holders rather than distress selling, which has bolstered market liquidity without causing structural breakdowns. Concurrently, significant ETF outflows, including a single-session withdrawal of over $700 million, are acting as a liquidity catalyst. These outflows are not purely bearish; they represent a broader rebalancing where long-term holders supply liquidity as ETF demand cools. This rotation has led to price consolidation but not a market collapse. The released dormant coins are being absorbed by short-term holders (STHs), whose supply has climbed toward the upper end of its historical range. This absorption is increasing market volatility and fostering a sentiment geared toward short-term trading, likely sustaining choppy price action before a clearer trend can resume. The overall dynamic points to a major liquidity rotation feeding into price strength, with near-term volatility expected to remain elevated until the redistribution is complete.

‘Debasement trade still on,’ says hedge fund exec as Bitcoin lags gold

Select metals like gold, silver, and platinum have posted triple-digit gains, with gold nearing $5k (up 80% YoY), silver surging 200%, and platinum up 175%. In contrast, Bitcoin traded at $89k, down 12% over the same period. Hedge fund manager James Lavish argues the "debasement trade" remains strong and expects Bitcoin to eventually catch up. However, BTC's momentum has been hampered by weaker institutional inflows compared to gold’s $10 billion ETF inflows since December 2025, as well as growing quantum computing risks, which prompted some investors to shift from BTC to gold. Analysts remain divided on whether Bitcoin will rebound amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.

Why Cathie Wood predicts Bitcoin could reach $16T market cap by 2030

Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, maintains a strong long-term outlook for Bitcoin despite its recent 35% decline from its October 2025 all-time high. While capital has recently rotated into safe-haven assets like gold and silver due to geopolitical tensions, Wood emphasizes Bitcoin's superior performance over a broader horizon, noting a 360% gain since 2022 compared to gold's 170%. She projects Bitcoin's market cap could grow nearly eightfold to reach $16 trillion by 2030, citing its constrained supply growth as a key advantage over gold. Although near-term Fed policy keeps the outlook uncertain, Wood anticipates strong GDP growth and negative inflation could improve liquidity and risk appetite, ultimately supporting Bitcoin's ascent.

Here’s why Bitcoin’s bull market case shouldn’t be dismissed just yet!

Despite recent consolidation between $88,000 and $91,000, Bitcoin's bull market case remains intact. Key on-chain metrics suggest underlying strength: 71.5% of the supply is still in profit, though a move back above 75% would support a more stable upward trend. Whales are accumulating significantly, with balances reaching 3.2 million BTC—the highest since early January—indicating strong conviction at current levels. Meanwhile, long-term holders remain inactive, as shown by a Binary CDD reading of 0, reflecting a continued bullish outlook. While retail investors are selling, institutional and long-term player behavior suggests the market is building a foundation for a potential rebound.

Bitcoin Whales Keep Buying Through Volatility As Retail Steps Away

Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility, dropping sharply from near $97,000 to around $87,000 amid escalating geopolitical tensions and trade-war concerns. Despite the sell-off, on-chain data indicates that Bitcoin whales have continued accumulating during the downturn, absorbing supply even as prices weakened. In contrast, retail investors are reducing their market participation, highlighting a divergence where larger holders use volatility to build positions at discounted levels. While the $90,000 level remains a key psychological support, the market's structure appears intact, with whale holdings not declining monthly. If accumulation by large investors continues, it could establish a stronger base and support a more stable recovery, depending on whether Bitcoin holds above $90,000 amid ongoing macro pressures.

Bitcoin Should Wait On Quantum Fixes, Says Epoch Ventures

Epoch Ventures founder Erik Yakes advises against rushing quantum-resistant upgrades for Bitcoin, arguing the quantum computing threat remains unproven and premature action could impose long-term efficiency costs. He attributes recent quantum anxiety to behavioral biases rather than technical evidence, noting quantum computers haven't factored numbers larger than 15. Yakes emphasizes that quantum-resistant signatures currently consume excessive block space, potentially reducing network throughput. He recommends leveraging existing taproot address features for short-term protection and allowing more efficient solutions to develop. Governance challenges and the risk of locking in inefficient protocols outweigh immediate quantum concerns, which he considers less urgent than geopolitical or monetary risks.

The Wolf Is Really Coming? Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin Is 'No Longer Theoretical', Analyst: 20-50% of Bitcoin Has 'Security Risks'

The threat of quantum computing to Bitcoin is accelerating from theoretical to practical, with analysts warning that 20-50% of Bitcoin’s supply—amounting to 4 to 10 million BTC—is vulnerable to quantum attacks. Coinbase’s research head David Duong highlighted that 32.7% of Bitcoin (6.51 million BTC) is at risk due to weak cryptographic practices, such as address reuse. Institutional investors are reacting: Jefferies’ Christopher Wood removed Bitcoin entirely from his portfolio, reallocating to gold, citing quantum computing as an existential risk to Bitcoin’s value proposition. Quantum computers could break Bitcoin’s elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA), potentially exposing private keys. While current quantum systems are far from the estimated 13 million qubits needed to crack Bitcoin’s encryption, experts disagree on the timeline—some say 5 years, others 20-40 years. The Bitcoin community faces a governance dilemma: whether to preemptively destroy vulnerable coins or risk large-scale theft. Developers are proposing quantum-resistant upgrades, but implementation could take 5-10 years. Despite the concerns, some institutions like Harvard and Morgan Stanley continue to increase Bitcoin exposure, reflecting divergent risk assessments. The market is already pricing in these fears, with Bitcoin underperforming gold significantly.

Strategy’s $8B capital shift – Here’s why analysts are calling it a ‘win’

MicroStrategy (MSTR) has reached a key financial milestone as its preferred stock ($8.36B) now exceeds its total convertible debt ($8.21B). This shift reduces bankruptcy risk, since preferred equity has no maturity date and allows deferred dividends, unlike debt which requires repayment. Analysts view the move as a structural win, validating the firm’s new capital strategy and supporting further Bitcoin acquisitions. As a result, MSTR has expanded its BTC holdings to 709K while its stock has outperformed Bitcoin year-to-date.

Kansas Senator Proposes Bill For State’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve And ETF Investment

Kansas Senator Craig Bowser has introduced Bill 352, proposing the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the state. The bill would allow the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) to allocate up to 10% of its funds into Bitcoin ETFs. Holdings exceeding the threshold would not require automatic selling unless beneficial to the fund’s beneficiaries. An annual review of the investment would be submitted to the governor. This move is part of a broader trend among U.S. states like Texas, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Missouri, which are also exploring or implementing Bitcoin reserves as strategic assets or inflation hedges.

Bitcoin Is At Risk From Saylor: Pundit Shares Why Strategy’s BTC Holdings Is A Net Negative

Crypto pundit Crypto Chase argues that Michael Saylor’s company, MicroStrategy, and its massive Bitcoin holdings—over 709,715 BTC acquired at an average of $75,979—pose a net risk to Bitcoin’s adoption by large investors. He claims such a large, illiquid position deters institutional and high-net-worth investors rather than attracting them. Chase also dismisses the possibility of Saylor capitulating even if Bitcoin falls below his average entry price, warning that a forced sell-off could crash BTC to $3,000 or lower due to insufficient market bids. He suggests the only safe exit would be an over-the-counter sale to a major entity like the U.S. government. This view contrasts with another pundit, Ansem, who sees Bitcoin as a digital store of value and believes a drop below Saylor’s cost basis would be a generational buying opportunity.
