According to on-chain analyst Willy Woo, a long-running rise in Bitcoin’s value versus gold has stalled. He points to a break in a trend that ran for more than a decade.

Michael Saylor Says Strategy Still Won’t Break The timing, he argues, lines up with when quantum computing showed up on the radar of Bitcoin developers and when the Quantum Bitcoin Summit took place. That change, he says, has altered how the market thinks about Bitcoin’s future. Quantum Fear And Lost Coins Reports have disclosed that roughly 4 million BTC are effectively out of circulation because their keys are lost. That number matters.

Bitcoin is sitting at a “critical point,” with traders split between two familiar scripts: a full capitulation event, or the early innings of a durable bottoming process. In a Feb. 15 video explainer, CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn argued the data is starting to line up for the latter, but with a clear caveat that any bottom is more likely to be a grind than a snapback. Is The Bitcoin Bottom In? Bitcoin is currently trading roughly 50% below its all-time high, a drawdown that looks severe in isolation but still smaller than the 70%+ declines seen in prior bear markets, Maartunn said. The more actionable question, in his framing, is not whether the market can go lower but whether the ingredients that usually precede a turn are appearing. Maartunn points first to what he...

The reality behind it is more complex. Related Reading: Urgent Crypto Reform: Treasury Secretary Says The Clock Is Ticking Debt Cushion And What It Means Reports say the firm currently shows about $6 billion in net debt against its crypto holdings. On paper, a steep drop in BTC’s market value could leave reserves roughly in line with that liability. But balance-sheet math is not the whole story. Timing matters. Liquidity windows, market access, and investor reactions can change the practical options available to a firm under pressure. What management calls a “cushion” could be thin in a stresse...
