Strategy Sells 1,700 BTC as AlphaPepe Presale Heats Up

Strategy has sold roughly 1,700 BTC, adding fresh pressure to a market already watching macro uncertainty and fragile risk appetite. The sale does not end the Bitcoin story but gives traders another reason to question whether the next move will be a clean recovery or another period of heavy volatility.

The AlphaPepe project is moving on a faster presale clock while Bitcoin traders react to the Strategy sale. Stage 20 is live at $0.02602 after Stage 19 sold out fast, and the project has raised $2.29 million with over 10,800 holders.

AlphaPepe's AI-powered DEX utility angle, AlphaSwap, helps traders avoid buying blindly by scanning token contracts, flagging risky setups, tracking whale movement, and surfacing trend signals before users make a swap.

The project has completed two audits and secured three CEX partnerships. Rumors of approaching Tier-1 listings are adding pressure around the August 19 Launch Update Reveal, which may provide more information about launch timing, exchange progress, and AlphaSwap's next phase.
