Bitcoin Resilience Tested by Corporate Sell-Offs and Options Expiry
Bitcoin's price has remained near $64,900 after a week marked by significant events in the cryptocurrency market. Several publicly listed companies that had built their business strategy around accumulating BTC have started reducing their holdings or restructuring their finances due to the prolonged decline in both Bitcoin and their own share prices.
Strategy (formerly Microstrategy), which holds the most Bitcoins, hasn't purchased any of the top cryptocurrency in the last four weeks. The company sold stocks to increase its cash reserves to $3.2 billion during this period.
The mining sector also faced challenges after Poolin filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. At its peak, Poolin controlled close to one-fifth of Bitcoin's global mining power.
