Crypto pundit Crypto Chase has explained how Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings is a net negative for BTC’s adoption, especially among large investors. The pundit also ruled out the possibility of capitulation on Michael Saylor’s part, even if the flagship crypto drops below their entry point.
Why Saylor’s Strategy Bitcoin Holdings Puts BTC At Risk
In an X post, Crypto Chase opined that Strategy’s BTC holdings do more to deter institutions and high-net-worth individuals than to attract them. The pundit added that there really isn’t any full-scale capitulation below Saylor’s average entry price of $76,000, as he believes that Saylor and Strategy will hold until zero, except if the board forces them to do otherwise.
This statement followed Strategy’s latest $2.13 billion Bitcoin purchase, which saw the company’s holdings cross the 700,000 BTC milestone. The company now holds 709,715 BTC, which it acquired for $53.92 billion at an average price of $75,979. Meanwhile, Crypto Chase also stated that if the company were to offload these coins, the Bitcoin price would go back to $3,000 or lower.
The pundit warned that there are not even close to enough bids to handle such selling pressure. As such, he believes that Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings would have to be sold over the counter to the U.S. government or Trump to avoid a total collapse of the flagship crypto. However, Saylor has so far asserted that they have no intention of ever selling their BTC holdings.
Crypto Chase also mentioned that fear among uneducated market participants could provide a good entry if the narrative is that Saylor and Strategy would be liquidated if BTC drops below their average entry price. The pundit reiterated that it is game over if that ever happened, though. He is also not confident Bitcoin will rise to new highs anytime soon, noting there is significant overhead and Total Cost of Ownership, with entry points above $100,000.
From Another Crypto Pundit’s Point Of View
It is worth noting that Crypto Chase’s statement about Saylor’s Strategy and Bitcoin’s holdings was in response to crypto pundit Ansem’s point of view. In an X post, Ansem said he believes Bitcoin will find its place alongside gold and silver in portfolios and benefit from large, high-net-worth individuals and institutions adding small positions. He remarked that BTC, as a digital analog, is easier to transport across global borders and easier to transact with.
Ansem also noted that Saylor and Strategy’s cost average is currently around $75,000 and that he believes that a drop below that level would be a full-scale capitulation into a generational buying opportunity. From a technical standpoint, the pundit does not think Bitcoin will trade below last cycle’s price peak of $69,000 in 2021.
