Bitcoin’s shrinking supply meets rising profits – But where is the demand?

Bitcoin's price remains range-bound between $68,000 and $70,000 amid low volatility. On-chain data shows declining active supply and reduced transaction activity, indicating investor caution. Spot exchange netflows reveal weak demand, with only $238 million in net buys over 72 hours, mostly from whales. Despite a growing number of addresses in profit, selling pressure is contained as holders prefer to retain assets. A breakout above $70,000 is possible if this trend holds, but sustained upward movement requires stronger spot market demand.

Bitcoin Just Got A $200 Million Vote Of Confidence From Saylor’s Strategy

MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, has made its 101st Bitcoin purchase, acquiring 3,015 BTC for approximately $204 million at an average price of $67,700 per coin. This brings the company's total holdings to 720,737 BTC, acquired at an average cost of about $75,985 per Bitcoin. The purchase slightly lowered the firm's overall cost basis. Funding was raised through the sale of common and preferred stock, a strategy that has drawn both support for its bullish Bitcoin stance and concern over shareholder dilution. As the largest known corporate Bitcoin holder, MicroStrategy continues to signal strong long-term confidence in Bitcoin, though its substantial exposure ties its financial health closely to crypto market volatility.

Why Bitcoin Seasonality Failed: Inside BTC’s Structural Breakdown In February 2026

Bitcoin is consolidating between $62,000 and $69,000 amid geopolitical uncertainty, showing hesitant price action. February 2026 broke historical seasonality with a 14.94% decline, driven by structural weaknesses rather than a single event. Key factors included thin liquidity, leverage imbalances in derivatives, and weak spot demand. On-chain metrics like SOPR below 1 and flattened Realized Cap indicated underlying stress. A mid-month leverage cascade triggered liquidations, accelerating the drop in a low-liquidity environment. Despite extreme fear in sentiment, the absence of sustained spot demand and stablecoin growth limited rebounds to short-covering rallies. Macro conditions treated Bitcoin as a risk asset, reinforcing fragility. A recovery requires consistent spot inflows and disciplined rebuilding of open interest.

Beyond Capitulation: Why Bitcoin’s Short-Term Holders Refuse To Blink Amid Iran Escalation

Bitcoin is under pressure as Middle East tensions increase market uncertainty, but a key behavioral shift is emerging. Short-term holders (STHs), who typically amplify volatility by sending coins to exchanges during losses, are not panicking as expected. During a capitulation event in early February, STHs transferred 89,000 BTC at a loss in 24 hours. Since then, loss-driven inflows have declined steadily. Even amid recent Iran-related geopolitical escalation—a classic risk-off trigger—there was no significant spike in STH realized-loss transfers. This suggests that forced selling phase may be exhausting, indicating seller fatigue and potential market stabilization. The key signal ahead is whether STHs continue to restrain from selling, pointing to base-building, or if a new loss-transfer spike renews downside risk.

No Rebound For Bitcoin Yet — Short-Term BTC Holders Continue Holding At A Loss

Bitcoin's recent attempts to rebound have been capped as it struggles to hold above the $68,000 resistance level, with the price continuing a downward trajectory. Short-term holders are currently facing significant unrealized losses, averaging 26.3%, indicating a bearish market phase. According to analysts, such high loss levels historically present accumulation opportunities for long-term investors. Meanwhile, Bitcoin Spot ETFs are experiencing sustained outflows, marking 25 consecutive days of negative performance, which points to weakening investor confidence and potential increased volatility ahead.

A Longer Iran War Could Send Bitcoin Higher, Arthur Hayes Says

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, argues that a prolonged US military conflict with Iran could become a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin. He suggests that such a war would likely pressure the Federal Reserve to implement monetary easing—cutting interest rates and increasing liquidity—to support the economy and stabilize markets amid heightened uncertainty. Hayes cites historical precedents, including the Fed's responses to the Gulf War and the 9/11 attacks, where geopolitical shocks led to easier monetary policy. He advises waiting for clear policy signals, like a Fed rate cut, before aggressively buying Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $66,218.

46% of Bitcoin’s supply is now underwater: Will BTC’s losses keep mounting?

Bitcoin is currently trading at $66,689, down 47% from its all-time high, with approximately 46% of its circulating supply—around 9.09 million BTC—now held at a loss. Both short-term and long-term holders are experiencing significant unrealized losses, totaling around $113.9 billion and $140 billion, respectively. This has increased sell-pressure risks as investors may capitulate to avoid further declines. Institutional holders like MicroStrategy are also underwater, with 67% of its BTC holdings in the red. Technical indicators, including the Relative Vigor Index and Future Grand Trend, suggest continued bearish momentum, with potential downside targets near $59,213 or even $45k if the downtrend persists.

Bitcoin Price Holds Steady as Iran Conflict Pushes Oil and Gold Higher

Tensions in the Middle East initially caused Bitcoin's price to drop to around $63k, but it has since stabilized near $66k. While traditional assets like the Nasdaq and S&P 500 fell over 1%, Bitcoin’s decline was relatively moderate. The conflict drove oil and gold prices significantly higher, with Brent crude rising 8-10% and gold climbing over 2%. Analysts are divided on Bitcoin’s trajectory—some believe geopolitical risks are already priced in, while others warn that prolonged high oil prices could fuel inflation and pressure risk assets, including Bitcoin. Despite a short-term sell-off, Bitcoin has shown resilience amid market uncertainty.

Bitcoin Price Rebounds From Monthly Channel Bottom, Could $475,000 Be Next?

Bitcoin's price rebounded from a critical support level near $60,000 over the weekend, recovering from a slump triggered by geopolitical tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. Technical analyst Tony Severino highlighted that BTC had never closed below the lower trendline of its monthly ascending channel, not during COVID nor previous crises. A bounce from this support suggests a potential move toward the channel's midline, which could theoretically reach $475,000, though such a surge is considered unlikely. Currently, BTC trades around $67,919, up 3% in 24 hours, but broader market conditions remain bearish.
