BREAKING: Michael Saylor's Strategy unrealized loss on BTC holdings has hit $10.98 BILLION, its HIGHEST ever.
Strategy started buying BTC at $12K, and now the price is at $62K, but still the company is down 17% on its Bitcoin position.
🚨 THE FIRST MAJOR DOMINO IS ABOUT TO FALL
🇯🇵 Bank of Japan is considering stopping its QT program next year.
This is due to bond market volatility as Japanese bond yields recently hit new highs.
And what comes after QT?
QE or money printing, which will bring bond yields down and make Japan once again a cheap liquidity hub.
This is why I keep saying to survive in 2026, as what comes after that will be MASSIVE.
WHILE EVERYONE BETS ON THE NEXT L1, VITALIK BET ON HIS OWN.
🇺🇸 In his latest essay on the Ethereum Foundation's future, Vitalik Buterin disclosed:
90% of his net worth is in ETH.
The remaining $40,000,000 is on-chain fiat. Allocated to open-source biotech and software.
The EF holds just 0.16% of all ETH.
Other foundations: 10-50%.
The most decentralized chain has the most committed founder.
That's the moat.

This is unbelievable.
On Thursday, $BTC pumped to $81,900 liquidating $254M!
On Friday, $BTC then dumped to $78,600 liquidating $412M more!
On Saturday, $BTC continued the dump to $77,700 liquidating another $453M!
And now in the past 24 hours, $BTC dumped to $76,400 liquidating a further $790M!
That's $1.9B total Crypto liquidations in 4 days!!!
Now, $74,000 - $76,500 has sizable liquidity left that could be swept.
However, $78,500 - $81,000 above has significantly larger liquidation clusters stacked up, making this the 'higher probability' zone to visit next.
Bulls just got absolutely 'rekt'.

$BTC $83k CME GAP FILLED...
My plan for next 2-3 months:
- Liquidity sweep at $84k
- Drop to $73k → $70k → $65k
- New lows at $58k
- Reversal and move up to $90k+
Decline is inevitable - bulls won’t like what’s next
JANE STREET JUST EXPOSED THEIR NEXT TARGET: ETHEREUM.
The same firm behind the daily 10 AM Bitcoin dump, the same firm sued for insider trading in the $40 billion LUNA collapse, and the same firm with $567 million frozen by Indian regulators could now be targeting Ethereum.
The data reveals a massive, coordinated exit from Bitcoin and a violent rotation into Ethereum.
IBIT : down 71% in a single quarter.
FBTC : down 60%.
Strategy $MSTR : down 78%.
Bitcoin miners IREN, Cipher, TeraWulf, Core Scientific: all cut.
Over $800 million in Bitcoin exposure erased in 90 days. Now look at what they were buying at the same time.
ETHA : nearly doubled.
FETH : sharply raised.
Galaxy Digital: from 17,000 shares to 1.5 million. That is an 8,700% increase in one quarter.
Total new Ethereum ETF exposure added: $82 million.
In Q4 2025, the quarter right before this dump, Jane Street increased their MSTR position by 473%. They loaded up aggressively and Then in Q1 2026 they cut 78% of it.
In India, SEBI documented this exact structure across 18 expiry days. Build the long position in the underlying first. Then set up the derivatives. Then move the market. The cash position is the setup cost and The options book is where the money gets made. And the options book is the one thing a 13F will never show you.
Ethereum is the easier target. Bitcoin futures open interest sits at $60 billion. Ethereum's is slightly more than half that at roughly $34 billion. A smaller market means a smaller amount of capital can move the price further.
In India, Jane Street moving the Bank Nifty index using stock purchases. Ethereum's market cap is $273 billion against Bitcoin's $1.6 trillion. That is a 5.8x size difference. The same amount of capital creates nearly 6 times the price impact in ETH.
The ETF market for Ethereum is also still early. Bitcoin ETFs hold roughly 6.67% of all circulating BTC supply. Ethereum ETF penetration is less than that, which means there is no institutional demand floor yet to absorb a coordinated sell.
They are not rotating into Ethereum because they are bullish on Ethereum. They are rotating into Ethereum because It is easier to move.
🚨 THE PATTERN THAT MADE BITCOIN MILLIONAIRES IS BACK.
2013 - Chinese retail dominated 90% of global BTC volume. Bitcoin went from $100 to $1,200 in weeks.
2014 - 2017 - Capital controls tightened. Chinese money looked for exits. Bitcoin went from $1,000 to $20,000.
2015 - 2020 - Liquidity flooded global markets. Chinese institutional money rotated into risk assets. Bitcoin went from $5,000 to $69,000.
The pattern is not a coincidence. It's capital looking for an asset with no issuer, no jurisdiction, no counterparty.
Now look at what's happening right now.
China Investment Corp - $1.57 trillion sovereign wealth fund
Is back in talks with Blackstone and TPG after pulling out entirely last year.
Trump and Xi are meeting in Beijing this week.
On the table: a deal allowing China to invest $1 trillion in the US economy.
$1 trillion looking for a home in dollar-denominated assets doesn't stop at factories.
It leaks into everything that can't be printed.
Three times China moved.
Three times Bitcoin pumped hardest of all.
They're about to move again.
Follow for the next call before it happens. Notifications on.
