Cole Kennelly of Volmex Labs says the market is focused on hot tech IPOs, and the market doesn't like the $STRC dividend overhang.
.@ColeGotTweets says Saylor's $2.5m bitcoin:native sell is just one of *many* factors behind the drawdown.
"Even though it's a very small amount of Bitcoin that he sold, the market doesn't like that he *could* sell a lot more to sell the $STRC dividend"
