A 2 Trillion Won “Monetization” Plan Ignites the Market: Is Strategy Going to Sell Bitcoin? What’s Behind the Rally Driven by MSTR News?
Just last night, a vague “Bitcoin monetization + capital reorganization” proposal from Strategy—the world’s largest enterprise Bitcoin holder (formerly MicroStrategy)—instantly split the market into two camps. The Bitcoin price reacted immediately, rebounding from weakness to as high as $60,045, with 24-hour trading volume surging by 86%.
But excitement didn’t last for long before panic began to spread.
A report from a South Korean media outlet was especially alarming: Strategy may be planning to sell as much as 2 trillion Korean won (about $1.25 billion) worth of Bitcoin. In the blink of an eye, the plan was interpreted as “an institutional move to find an exit path for BTC.”
Cooling down a bit, “monetization” doesn’t necessarily mean a full liquidation mass sell.
It could be a more complex financial maneuver. For example, Strategy might pledge part of its Bitcoin to banks to obtain low-cost loans, using the proceeds to repay upcoming debt maturities or to conduct share buybacks. This kind of action doesn’t directly dump Bitcoin onto the market; instead, it can optimize the company’s capital structure. In theory, if executed properly, this could be a brilliant move.
But the market chose to run first.
Why? Because this is Strategy’s first public acknowledgment that it needs to “handle” its Bitcoin holdings more flexibly. Going from “never sell” to “handle flexibly” is a qualitative shift from 0 to 1. It also opens the imagination of a path toward future large-scale reductions.
And for a market accustomed to simple narratives, complexity often equals risk. #Strategy授权20亿美元回购 $BTC
550,000 BTC flood into exchanges overnight: the scale far exceeds this year’s average daily level. Who “sold off in full” when Bitcoin broke below 60,000?
Woofun AI monitoring system detects that: more than 550,000 Bitcoins were concentrated and transferred within just a few hours to Binance and the recharge accounts of partner exchanges.
Of these, over 220,000 BTC flowed to Binance, while rival exchanges absorbed a larger 330,000. The combined daily inflow to the two exchanges reached 3 to 4 times the average daily level since 2024. The last time we saw such a scale of fund congregation was back in the depths of the 2023 bear market—when you turn the calendar back.
What does that mean? It’s roughly 65% of the total holdings of MicroStrategy, the publicly listed company with the largest Bitcoin holdings. It’s also 1.3 times the total cumulative net outflows of all Bitcoin spot ETFs since June this year. This means that, in just one night, the potential supply that one (or more) mysterious entities injected into the market exceeds the total amount sold off by Wall Street institutions over the span of a month.
In a downward price cycle, such a massive pile of coins flowing into exchanges typically points to only two possible purposes: preparing to liquidate and realize cash at any cost, or using the assets for collateral financing to deal with a liquidity crisis. Regardless of which it is, it sends a strong bearish signal. #链上数据 $BTC
Binance: 84% of Altcoins Fall Below the 200-Day Moving Average—A Weak Cycle Lasting Nearly Eight Months, the Second Longest Since 2020—Buy the Dip or Wait and See?
According to the latest report from CryptoQuant analysts, as many as 84% of Binance-listed altcoins have seen their trading prices fall below the 200-day moving average—widely regarded as the “bull-bear line.” This collective “sitting duck” condition has been going on for nearly eight months. This is the second-longest weak period that altcoins have experienced since 2020, just behind the previous bear market’s stretch of darkness lasting about ten months. In short, the 200-Day Moving Average is a widely recognized long-term technical indicator. It helps filter out short-term price fluctuations and reveals an asset’s long-term trend. In the investment world, it’s often referred to as the “bull-bear line.” When the price is above it, it’s usually considered a bull market; when the price is below it, it indicates a bearish trend.

Arthur Hayes Is Bearish to $40k, 10x Research Points to $55k: Why Are These Big Names Collectively Turning Bearish on Bitcoin?
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, issued a tough warning: Bitcoin will fall to $40,000 within six months. Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, also shared his view: the bottom is around $55,000, with a time window from August to October. Senior analyst James Van Straten dug out a key range from on-chain data: $50,000 to $54,000 is the next battleground. Bitcoin is testing the 200-week moving average. The three all point in the same direction: downward. Hayes’s reasoning comes down to three words: liquidity. The U.S. dollar is still strengthening, U.S. Treasury yields remain high, and the Federal Reserve is still maintaining a hawkish stance. Hayes is sharp—while he talks about $40,000, he actually placed his bets more aggressively by buying put options expiring in March with a strike of $35,000.
Gold Breaks Below $4,000 and Bitcoin Falls Below $59,000: 2026’s Most Crowded “Debasement Trade”
Gold has fallen below the $4,000 integer mark for the first time in the recent past, dropping nearly 30% from its record high of $5,600 in January 2025. Silver has also plunged from its $120 peak, with its market value wiped out by more than half. On the other side, Bitcoin—hailed as “digital gold”—has been in a steep freefall since its peak last October, down about 50% in total, and is now approaching the psychological $58,000 support level. Behind all these grim scenes is the spectacular collapse of a grand trading narrative—“the Debasement Trade.” Over the past two years, betting on the government’s unrestrained fiscal spending and the spiral of rising national debt will keep eroding the dollar’s purchasing power, pushing capital toward scarce assets like gold and Bitcoin—essentially one of the most crowded and most certain trades in the world.
The myth of Bitcoin’s “largest buyer” is shattered: Strategy’s mNAV falls below 1 for the first time—its 847,363 BTC holdings become a burden
Today, Strategy’s mNAV (enterprise value divided by the market value of its BTC holdings) fell below 1 for the first time during intraday trading, hitting a low of 0.98.
For a time, Strategy’s “financing flywheel” was hailed as a brilliant move—its stock price rises, it issues debt to finance purchases of Bitcoin, and then the elevated buying pushes the stock price even higher. The key condition for the loop to keep working is that mNAV must stay far above 1, so the market is willing to buy into the story. Now the premium has evaporated, and the flywheel is stuck.
The consequences are direct. The common stock fell to $82.16, wiping out more than 80% compared with the November 2024 peak. Preferred shares (STRC) dropped to $71.40, a 26% discount versus the $100 par value—so much so that even creditors don’t believe it will be able to repay. More dangerously, with the premium gone, the channel for low-cost financing is blocked, while the annual $1.2 billion in preferred-share dividends is still greedily consuming the remaining $1.4 billion cash.
Ironically, the drop in mNAV below 1 creates an arbitrage opportunity. If you pay $0.98 to buy MSTR stock, you can indirectly get $1 worth of Bitcoin exposure. Savvy players are already shorting MSTR while buying spot Bitcoin, calmly capturing that 2% discount. That could bring short-term buying pressure to the Bitcoin market, but ultimately it’s like quenching thirst with poison. Once the arbitrage spread is flattened, the underlying problem remains.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse went straight after it on CNBC, saying STRC’s plunge is a “strong indictment” of Strategy’s strategy. Imitators have also collapsed in unison: Japan’s Metaplanet’s mNAV slid to 0.9, and its stock price is down 70% from its high. Nakamoto’s mNAV also fell to 0.92. The “corporate treasury” model games appear to be over at once.
Strategy CEO Phong Le once suggested that if mNAV falls below 1, the company might consider selling Bitcoin. Now the prediction has come true: the former “largest buyer” is sliding toward becoming the “potential largest seller.” #比特币下探58000美元 #strategy $BTC

SpaceX evaporates $600 billion in a day, Bitcoin dips below $62K
Elon Musk's space exploration company SpaceX, which just completed the largest IPO in human history, saw its stock plummet 16.43% without warning after announcing its first investment-grade bond issuance, wiping out about $600 billion in market cap in a single day.
What’s the purpose of this bond? SpaceX plans to raise up to $25 billion to build the data centers, computing hardware, and power infrastructure needed for AI.
The Nasdaq index took a hit overnight, plunging 1.32%, with Alphabet, Google's parent company, experiencing its largest single-day drop in over a year, crashing nearly 5%. Amazon also fell close to 5%, and Meta wasn’t spared either.
After the Asian markets opened, they echoed the downturn, with the South Korean Kospi index dropping nearly 10% at one point and the Japanese Nikkei 225 index also down by 3.55%.
On June 23, Bitcoin's price hit a low of $61,860, and mainstream crypto assets like Ethereum and Solana also took a dive. In the past 24 hours, over 130,000 traders were liquidated, with total liquidations reaching $659 million, predominantly from long positions contributing over $600 million. The entire cryptocurrency market saw more than $100 billion in market cap evaporate in just a few hours.
BlackRock's head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, pointed out that the heat in the AI sector is acting like a massive vacuum pump, sucking liquidity from the market. "A lot of capital is fleeing non-AI core assets to reposition in AI," which is the fundamental reason behind Bitcoin's recent weakness. This capital siphoning effect has not only impacted cryptocurrencies but has also affected traditional safe-haven assets like gold. #纳斯达克跌2.2% #SPCX盘前交易跌17.44%至$148.34 $SPCXB $BTC

The US-Iran deal just fell apart at the last minute, and Bitcoin has crashed below $63K, with 120K traders liquidated for $450 million.
On June 19, 2026, in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, the signing ceremony was a no-show.
The signing of the US-Iran memorandum was called off at the last moment. The spark came from southern Lebanon: four Israeli soldiers were ambushed by Hezbollah, including a tank battalion commander. National Security Minister Ben-Gvir immediately urged for "a broader and more intense military strike."
The Iranian delegation has suspended its trip to Switzerland, and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz has canceled his plans, while US Vice President Vance's schedule has also been scrapped.
The market exploded.
Bitcoin instantly crashed through the $63,000 mark, dropping to $62,608, a 24-hour decline of 2.54%. In the last 24 hours, 120K global traders were forcibly liquidated, with $453 million wiped out, and longs accounted for $366 million. Ethereum fell below $1,700, SOL dropped 5%, XRP fell over 4%, and XLM plummeted 9%. Gold fell below $4,200, and the dollar index hit a one-year high. The Fear and Greed Index dropped to 14-20, signaling "extreme fear."
A double whammy.
First: A collapse of geopolitical trust. The market had priced the US-Iran deal as the "end of conflict," but peace is never the endpoint; it’s a long game.
Second: The Fed's hawkish stance. Governor Waller's first appearance deleted forward guidance, with 9 FOMC officials expecting rate hikes this year. The "geopolitical + macro" double hit has dealt a fatal blow to risk assets. The final defense.
$58,000-$60,000 is Bitcoin's critical support, a solid range formed since early 2026. If it breaks, panic selling could trigger, with the next target at $45,000. The options market shows traders are heavily buying put options, with strike prices as low as $52,000. Polymarket data indicates that the probability of Bitcoin staying above $54,000 is still 99.95%, but how long confidence can hold up against ongoing bearish sentiment remains unknown. #比特币连跌4日STRC跌破面值 #以色列真主党停火协议达成 #万斯延迟美伊瑞士会谈 $BTC
Massive Binance Dragon Boat Festival gift box, Binance YYDS!
Lucky the SF Express guy offered to deliver it, otherwise with such a big box, I doubt my Kirin arms would be enough to handle it. Just the outer packaging cardboard box weighs over 2 kilograms +
Thanks to Binance for arranging the festive gift box, and a shoutout to the amazing bncici, you truly deserve this treasure bd👍👍
What makes Binance's Dragon Boat Festival gift box so unique is the dragon scale design on the black outer box, powerful and fitting for the festival vibe.
The gift box is essentially a tennis sports set, including a tennis racket, a custom Binance-themed tennis ball which is my favorite, a card holder, a tennis cap, and a backpack that can hold the racket! ~
The materials used for the racket and strings feel really nice, not sure which big factory in the universe is handling the production, but it definitely feels like a thousand-dollar level quality.
The big players are uniquely positioned in the market, no one can match them, and I believe Binance will continue to thrive. #端午节 #币安周边 #币安礼盒
$50 Billion Gap, Plummeting Hash Prices, and Only 25% Delivery on AI Transformation: Bitcoin Miners' 'Darkest Hour'
Investment management giant VanEck released a report this week. The numbers in the report: a staggering $50 billion short-term funding gap, along with only a 25% fulfillment rate on AI transformation promises. With the Bitcoin halving completed, mining rewards have been slashed in half, compounded by the persistently low hash prices (a key metric for measuring mining profitability), squeezing miners' profit margins to the max. Every day that rigs are powered on means high electricity costs and equipment depreciation, but the value of the Bitcoin produced hardly covers it. A report from VanEck bluntly points out that the financial pressure miners are currently facing is akin to the deep bear market of 2022.
Walsh's debut countdown: 99.5% chance of holding steady, but the market's real fear is a 'hawkish surprise'
At 2 AM Beijing time on Thursday, Fed's new chair Kevin Walsh will present his first rate decision since taking office. CME data shows that the probability of holding steady in June has climbed to 99.5%. This number nearly wipes out any suspense. No one expects a rate hike tonight. The probability of a rate increase in July is only 7.9%, which can be practically ignored. What the market fears is a 'hawkish surprise'. Who is Walsh? Early on, he was a die-hard monetarist, firmly believing that inflation is always a monetary phenomenon, resulting from excessive money printing and reckless government spending. He has publicly criticized the Fed's endless quantitative easing, claiming that the balance sheet has been inflated too much, spoiling the market. He advocates for a combo move of 'rate cuts + balance sheet reduction', easing rates while pulling back liquidity. Sounds contradictory, but the core principle is solid: price stability comes first, and the rest is secondary.
SEC and CFTC Join Forces for 'Regulatory Reconciliation': 68-Page Guidance Clarifies Tokenized Security Compliance Pathway, Opening the Gateway for Wall Street
Just yesterday, the SEC and CFTC dropped a 68-page regulatory guidance document. The document clearly points out that the vast majority of crypto assets, like those purely technical tokens, digital collectibles, or payment stablecoins, are not classified as securities. This means that regulators are finally recognizing the diversity of the crypto space and are no longer trying to hammer every nail with the 'securities law' hammer. Revolutionarily, the SEC has officially acknowledged the 'security attribute peeling' mechanism for the first time. In simple terms, a project may be considered an 'investment contract' (i.e., a security) during its initial funding phase, but as it matures, the network becomes decentralized, and the code is open source and self-operating, its tokens can 'shed' the security label and trade freely as a non-security asset in the market.
Strategy's at it again! Dropping $100 million to buy back 1,587 BTC, total holdings nearing 850k—Is this a bottom signal or just regular dollar-cost averaging?
Today, Strategy dropped around $100 million to scoop up 1,587 BTC! Their balance sheet numbers just hit a new high: total Bitcoin holdings skyrocketing to an astonishing 846,842 coins. Just two weeks ago, Strategy made their 'first reduction' by shorting 32 BTC. That was just a drop in the ocean (about 0.004% of their total holdings), but it shattered Saylor's long-held 'never sell' myth. The market reacted fiercely, panic set in, and Bitcoin prices plummeted, dragging down their stock price as well. From 'tactical sell' to 'strategic buy'
North Korean hackers spoof Bithumb phishing email to compromise private keys: $31 million stolen from Humanity, with token unlocks coming next week
On June 14, renowned security audit firm Quantstamp released an investigative report. The report confirmed that the shocking $31 million theft incident involving Humanity Protocol earlier this month was orchestrated by a hacker group linked to North Korea. A $31 million security lesson Let's rewind to early June. The attackers made off with approximately $31 million worth of Humanity Protocol assets. According to a report by Quantstamp, attackers spoofed an email from the well-known Korean exchange Bithumb. The email looked so 'normal' that a core member of the Humanity Protocol foundation clicked on it completely unprepared.
SpaceX's $75B IPO Reveals $1.3B BTC Holdings, Musk Becomes the 'Whale' of the Crypto World
Elon Musk's space exploration company SpaceX has officially hit the Nasdaq with the ticker SPCX. They kicked off with a staggering $75 billion in funding, smashing the record for the largest IPO in history, leaving Alibaba's previous myth in the dust. At an issue price of $135 per share, SpaceX's market cap sits comfortably at a jaw-dropping $1.78 trillion, a number that would leave any tech giant gasping for air. On SpaceX's balance sheet, there's a whopping $1.3 billion in Bitcoin reserves. The precise number is 18,712 BTC.
