 Companies Keep Buying $BTC - Even With Billions in Paper Losses

The market is shaky, prices are lower… and corporate treasuries are still adding exposure. While many traders focus on short-term charts, BTC and $ETH  are quietly being accumulated by public companies.

Strategy bought another 2,486 BTC for $168M at an average price of $67,710. The company now holds 717,131 $BTC worth about $48.8B - even though its average entry of $76,027 leaves it sitting on roughly $5.8B in unrealized losses.

Meanwhile, BitMine Immersion Technologies added 45,759 ETH for $91.6M at $2,001 average. It now holds 4.37M ETH worth around $8.67B, despite nearly $8B in paper losses based on its higher average cost.

This isn’t short-term trading. It’s balance sheet strategy. Both firms continue expanding positions despite volatility. That tells you something important: their thesis hasn’t changed - even if price has.

🔥 Abu Dhabi Just Poured $1B+ Into BlackRock’s $BTC ETF

While many panic over pullbacks, capital keeps moving. Two Abu Dhabi funds increased exposure to $BTC through BlackRock’s spot ETF - even as the market was sliding hard.

Mubadala lifted its position to 12.7M IBIT shares after adding nearly 4M more in Q4. Al Warda raised holdings to 8.2M shares. Combined, that’s over $1B allocated to Bitcoin exposure by the end of 2025.

And here’s what makes it interesting.
▪ They bought during a 23% $BTC drop in Q4
▪ Price fell another 23% in early 2026
▪ Position value now sits closer to $800M

That’s not momentum trading. That’s long-term positioning

For sovereign funds, spot ETFs offer regulated access, easier portfolio management, strong liquidity, and no direct custody risk. It’s a cleaner gateway into crypto.

The key takeaway? While retail debates short-term charts, institutional capital keeps building exposure through structured products. In this market, watching who buys the dip may matter more than watching the dip itself.

🚀 XRP Is Beating $BTC  After the Crash - Here’s Why

After the February crash, something unexpected happened. $XRP surged about 38% from the lows, while BTC ecovered only around 14%. That gap isn’t small - and traders definitely noticed.

XRP bounced from roughly $1.12 to $1.67 before cooling off. Coins were also moving off Binance, often a sign of accumulation rather than selling pressure. At the same time, XRP spot ETFs crossed $1.37B in inflows - hitting $1B faster than any crypto ETF except Bitcoin, even as BTC and $ETH funds saw heavy outflows.

There’s also a regulatory angle. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse joined the CFTC’s Innovation Advisory Committee, putting XRP closer to the policy conversation in the U.S. That kind of positioning matters long term.

Still, history suggests volatility isn’t over. Each cycle’s drawdown has compressed, but analysts see Bitcoin potentially consolidating between $61K–$74K before a deeper test near $54K–$55K. If that plays out, XRP’s strength may face another real test soon.

🎓 Harvard Cuts $BTC  ETF by 21% - Adds $87M in ETH

One of the world’s largest endowments just made a quiet shift. Harvard trimmed its Bitcoin ETF exposure by over 20% in Q4, while opening its first-ever Ether ETF position. Even as $BTC remains the dominant institutional asset, allocation strategies are clearly evolving.

According to its latest SEC filing, Harvard now holds 5.35M shares of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust worth about $265.8M - down from 6.81M shares the prior quarter. At the same time, it built a new $86.8M position in BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust, buying 3.87M shares.

In total, the endowment still holds around $352.6M across both assets. This isn’t an exit from Bitcoin - it’s a rebalance. The real takeaway? Even long-term institutions are adjusting exposure between BTC and ETH as the cycle shifts.

#HarvardAddsETHExposure

🧐 According to my last post, do you think $BTC could really drop to $8,000 like Saylor suggests?

#BTCFellBelow$69,000Again

Strategy once again stated that it won’t sell its $BTC even if the price drops to $8,000. Respect to Saylor’s business model resilience - but honestly, no one’s eager to test that scenario 😐

BTC failed to hold above $70K, and on the 4H chart we’re now looking at a potential retest of the lower boundary of the local range near $65K. What’s worse is that ETH and most altcoins are dropping harder than $BTC - same old story: push BTC around, crush the alts 🫡

📉 Bitcoin Faces Worst Q1 in 8 Years - Are Back-to-Back Red Months Next?

My honest take? I’m about 80% sure we’re not done with red yet. $BTC is still down over 50% from the cycle high, and Q1 has been one of the weakest in years. Every bounce looks more like relief than real strength.

Since losing $82K, traders flipped into protection mode. CryptoQuant’s Bull Score Index is at zero, and around 9.31M BTC (46% of supply) sits above current price - meaning strong overhead resistance if we try to rally. That’s not the structure you usually see before a clean reversal.

🧐 Could we get a green $BTC  month? Yes - especially on extreme fear and oversold conditions. But unless we see real capitulation near the $54.9K realized price zone, odds still favor another red stretch before a durable bottom forms.

🚨 Institutional Shift in Crypto ETFs - Goldman Sachs Just Rebalanced Big Time 🚨

Goldman Sachs trimmed its $BTC  & Ethereum ETF positions in the Q4 2025 13F filing - BTC down ~39%, ETH down ~27% - even though these still make up the bulk of its crypto exposure. 🧠💼 The total crypto ETF footprint sits around $2.3B+.

But here’s the twist: instead of just sitting on the core two, Goldman added XRP (~$152M) and Solana (~$108M) ETF stakes, signaling a cautious step toward next‑gen crypto exposure.

🔥 That’s not direct token plays - it’s regulated ETF exposure, but still meaningful.
This move comes as broader crypto markets struggled in late 2025 - $BTC and $ETH both took a hit - potentially pushing TradFi players to rebalance risk and chase diversification. 📉💡

Long story: the big bank isn’t dumping crypto entirely, it’s reshaping its strategy. Core assets still king, but alt exposure creeping in. 🚀

Thoughts? Maybe institutions are looking beyond BTC/ETH dominance and sniffing value in assets that actually do things? 🧠

📉 Extreme $BTC  Fear: Weekly Close Below $60K or Back Above $70K?

A lot of people are framing it as a simple range battle. But when you look at $BTC flows right now, the bigger issue isn’t the exact weekly close - it’s who’s actually buying.

Yes, we’ve seen dip-buying. But in January alone, Strategy accumulated 40,150 BTC - about 97.5% of all active DAT buying volume. Strip that out, and broad demand looks surprisingly thin.

At the same time, Spot CVD keeps flashing red. That tells us selling pressure is still outweighing organic absorption. Healthy bottoms usually form when many buyers step in - not when one aggressive player carries the load.

So what does that mean for the weekly close?

• A push above $70K needs broader participation

• A drop toward $60K - or even $48K–$58K - remains possible

• Spot CVD flipping positive would be a real shift

Extreme fear alone doesn’t mark a bottom. Demand does. Until buying widens beyond one dominant accumulator, the market hasn’t fully decided its direction.

#BTC #WhaleDeRiskETH

This wasn’t loud, but it’s meaningful. Goldman Sachs now holds $153M in XRP ETFs - while $BTC and ETH still dominate its crypto exposure. For a Wall Street giant, that’s not speculation. That’s allocation.

Bitcoin remains the largest position, with over $1B through BlackRock’s IBIT ETF and related options. Ethereum follows with another $1B in ETF exposure. But what stands out is diversification - $XRP and Solana have officially entered the portfolio.

Goldman’s $XRP exposure is spread across multiple funds, including 21Shares, Bitwise, Franklin, and Grayscale products. On the Solana side, the bank holds about $108M across staking and trust-based ETFs.

The key detail? These aren’t direct token buys. They’re ETF positions - regulated, structured, institution-friendly. That tells you how big capital prefers to enter the space.

So what now? When a bank of this size moves beyond BTC and ETH into XRP, it signals growing comfort with broader crypto infrastructure. Not hype. Not headlines. Just steady expansion.

#USTechFundFlows #Ripple

XRP holders are watching closely. While $BTC keeps the broader market cautious, XRP Community Day 2026 is putting fresh attention back on the ecosystem. The big question: can today’s event actually push price beyond $2?

Right now, XRP trades around $1.39, down roughly 3% in 24 hours and moving mostly sideways. It’s not a breakout - it’s consolidation. Buyers are still defending the $1.31–$1.43 support zone, but momentum hasn’t flipped bullish yet.

🔹 First resistance sits near $1.54

🔹 Major breakout zone stands at $1.63–$1.64

🔹 If $1.31 breaks, $1.20 becomes the next key support

For XRP to seriously aim at $2, two things likely need to happen: strong adoption signals from Community Day and a clean technical break above $1.64. Without both, analysts expect choppy moves rather than a sustained rally.

Here’s the reality: events can boost sentiment, but charts confirm trends. If $XRP clears resistance, momentum could build fast. If not, patience may still be required.

🏦 Goldman Sachs Loaded $2.3B in Crypto

📊 According to its Q4 2025 13F filing, Goldman holds $1.1B in Bitcoin, $1.0B in Ethereum, plus $153M in $XRP and $108M in Solana. In total, crypto makes up just 0.33% of its massive investment portfolio - small by size, big by signal.

👀 What caught attention wasn’t just that Goldman holds crypto - it’s how. The near-equal split between BTC and ETH raised eyebrows, with investors noting this looks more like strategic exposure than a symbolic allocation.

💬 Moonrock Capital’s Simon Dedic called it “very interesting” to see ETH sitting almost level with $BTC . That hints at how some institutions may be viewing Ethereum’s role - not as a side bet, but as core infrastructure.

🔍 The takeaway: this isn’t a YOLO trade. It’s controlled, diversified positioning from one of the world’s biggest banks. When giants like Goldman allocate quietly, it’s usually less about headlines - and more about long-term optionality.

📉 Why XRP Is Slipping Again - Here’s What’s Driving It

XRP is under pressure as risk-off sentiment spreads across crypto. As $BTC moved lower, XRP followed - down about 3% on the day, trading near $1.40, with losses stacking up across the week and month.

The move isn’t isolated. Bitcoin slid roughly 2.5%, dragging the broader market with it as total crypto cap fell to ~$2.34T. When BTC weakens like this, altcoins usually feel it harder - and XRP is no exception.

Sentiment confirms the tone. The Fear & Greed Index sits at 10, still deep in Extreme Fear. That tells me buyers are cautious, not aggressive, which limits dip-buying and allows sellers to stay in control.

Key $XRP levels I’m watching now:

• $1.40 as immediate support
• A break lower risks deeper downside as fear persists
• Any recovery depends on BTC stabilizing first

Until sentiment improves and Bitcoin finds firmer ground, XRP is likely to stay reactive - with downside pressure still firmly in play.

#BTC🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Xrp🔥🔥

With $BTC still struggling to find steady ground, ETH is trying to recover after a sharp breakdown. Price sliced through key support, then stabilized- but the former floor has already flipped into resistance. That’s classic post-panic behavior, and it usually caps enthusiasm fast.

In the short term, structure does allow for a bounce. Analysts see room for a relief move, but upside looks limited to the $2.5K–$2.6K zone unless buyers step in with real conviction. Without that, rebounds tend to fade.

Zooming out, the bigger risk sits lower. Holding the $1.5K–$1.6K area is critical for longer-term stability. Lose that zone, and this shifts from a bounce story into a deeper correction. For now, $ETH  is breathing - not breaking out.

#ETH🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #USTechFundFlows

Saylor is buying again - and the timing matters. As $BTC  slipped below $70K and pressure stayed heavy, Strategy went ahead and added more Bitcoin, ever while sitting on a ~$5B unrealized loss.

Here’s what happened. Strategy bought 1,142 BTC for about $90M at an average price near $78.8K. That pushes total holdings to 714,644 BTC, acquired for $54.35B at an average cost of ~$76K per coin.

The funding is key. This wasn’t cash from operations - Strategy sold 616,715 MSTR shares last week, raising roughly $89.5M to fund the purchase. In other words, dilution for more $BTC exposure, again.

The signal was classic Saylor. A day before the filing, he posted the company’s Bitcoin tracker with one line: “Orange dots matter.” For long-time watchers, that’s usually code for one thing - another buy.

So the real question isn’t whether the trade looks good today. It’s whether conviction like this absorbs supply… or keeps amplifying risk if Bitcoin stays weak. Is this long-term belief paying off - or just early?

🚀 XRP Could Run to $5–$7 - But Only If One Level Breaks

The market is still cautious, with $BTC setting the tone - but XRP is getting closer to a make-or-break zone. Macro researcher Jim Willie says XRP’s first real acceleration starts only if price clears the $2.70–$3.00 range.

Right now, XRP trades near $1.44, far below that trigger. But according to Willie, a decisive move above that band could unlock fast upside, with momentum and technical buying pushing XRP toward $5 - and possibly $7.

What matters most isn’t trading hype. Willie argues $XRP ’s long-term upside depends on usage, not charts. Real adoption - especially for cross-border payments - is what can create sustained demand.

Here’s the key shift to watch:

▪ Break above $2.70–$3.00 = technical momentum turns bullish
▪ Institutional or government payment adoption = real demand growth
▪ Higher transaction volumes = long-term valuation support

The takeaway is simple: charts may start the move, but adoption finishes it. XRP’s next rally won’t just be about candles - it’ll be about whether real-world usage finally catches up with the narrative.

👉 Hey crypto enthusiasts, based on my post — is $35K $BTC realistic?

#BitcoinDropMarketImpact

⚠ Bitcoin’s Worst Case? A Veteran Says $35K Isn’t Impossible

Markets are tense, charts are heavy, and $BTC  is sitting on a level everyone is watching. Veteran analyst Gareth Soloway says Bitcoin is holding up better than stocks for now -but the next move depends on how ugly things get outside crypto.

In the near term, Bitcoin has shown resilience. Price dipped, then closed back above key levels, with buyers stepping in around the $73K–$74K zone. That area was a prior breakout point, and the clean bounce suggests demand is still alive, even as U.S. equities stay under pressure.

If a rebound plays out, Soloway expects sellers near $85K–$86K - former support turned resistance. That wouldn’t mean a new bull run, just a relief move. His base case points to ~$55K as a deeper correction target, based on past cycles.

Here’s the risk map:
• Short-term bounce possible from ~$73K support
• Resistance likely near $85K–$86K
• Base correction target around ~$55K
• Worst case: ~$34K–$35K if global markets crash hard

The key takeaway isn’t fear - it’s preparation. Bitcoin can stay resilient… until macro stress forces everyone to de-risk at once.
