Odaily News, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said at the company's Q2 earnings call that while the company has previously allocated nearly "100% of its funds to Bitcoin," it may adopt a combined strategy of holding both cash and BTC going forward. He stated, "Perhaps the best way to buy the most Bitcoin is not to buy the most Bitcoin immediately."TD Cowen and Benchmark both maintained their Buy ratings on Strategy following the Q2 earnings call. The two firms believe that the core goal of the company's current management has shifted toward bringing its STRC preferred stock price back to near par value, thereby restoring its ability to function as a financing tool.TD Cowen analyst Lance Vitanza said the most important takeaway from the call was management's strong focus on STRC. Company executives repeatedly emphasized that restoring STRC to par value is the core objective, and noted that despite recent price deviations in the security, institutional adoption continues to rise.Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer holds a similar view. He pointed out that Saylor and his team spent most of the 90-minute call focused on the same goal: restoring STRC to the $99–$100 range, making it once again the primary engine for the company to raise capital and purchase Bitcoin.
BitcoinTreasuries.NET posted on platform X, stating that the Netherlands' fifth-largest asset manager, Robeco, has disclosed an 11% increase in its holdings of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy (MSTR). The total holdings now stand at 133,755 shares, valued at $13.1 million. Institutional capital is flowing into BTC through treasury companies.
MicroStrategy did not sell BTC last week, but increased its dollar reserves by selling approximately $525 million in stock. It currently holds about $3.75 billion in cash, which can cover approximately 25 months of interest payments, and is not expected to continue buying Bitcoin in the short term. Ethereum treasury company Bitmine purchased 9,946 ETH last week at a price of approximately $1,897, for a total of about $18.87 million, maintaining its weekly buying pace since the treasury was launched. Currently, Strategy holds a total of 843,775 BTC, with an unrealized book loss of approximately 13.9%; Bitmine holds a total of 5.7874 million ETH, with an unrealized book loss of approximately 42.2%.
Odaily News As Bitcoin prices have experienced a significant correction, publicly listed companies that had accumulated large BTC holdings are facing multiple challenges, including falling stock prices, debt pressures, and a deteriorating financing environment. Some of these companies are now starting to sell Bitcoin, repay debts, and even pivot towards artificial intelligence (AI) data center operations.Strategy pioneered the "Digital Asset Treasury (DAT)" model, continuously purchasing Bitcoin through financing and borrowing, inspiring a wave of other listed companies to follow suit. However, as the BTC price has fallen approximately 50% from its peak of around $126,000 in October 2025, the stock prices of related companies have also shrunk significantly, forcing them to reassess their BTC accumulation strategies.This week, shareholders of London-listed company Satsuma Technology approved the liquidation of all 668 BTC, returning capital to shareholders, while proceeding with delisting. Another London-listed company, The Smarter Web Company, sold 178 BTC to repay its convertible debt.Additionally, Sequans Communications has sold 1,025 BTC and further sold nearly 80% of its remaining holdings to repay convertible bonds. The company stated it will not continue purchasing Bitcoin in the future and plans to sell the remaining approximately 658 BTC.Nakamoto's stock price has fallen approximately 99% since its SPAC listing in May 2025. The company recently sold about 284 BTC, raising approximately $20 million for working capital. Of its remaining approximately 5,342 BTC, nearly 70% has been pledged as collateral for loans from Kraken, which market observers believe poses a potential risk event.Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining companies are also adjusting their strategies. Companies like Bitdeer Technologies and MARA Holdings are selling portions of their BTC to repurchase shares, repay debts, and redirect energy resources and computing infrastructure towards AI data center operations.Other companies selling BTC include Empery Digital. Data shows that Strategy has recently sold approximately 3,620 BTC and has authorized further asset sales to maintain its U.S. dollar reserves.However, Strategy remains the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with holdings exceeding 840,000 BTC. The company's CEO, Michael Saylor, stated that while it may sell some Bitcoin in the future to pay dividends, this does not mean the company is exiting its Bitcoin investment.Beyond asset adjustments, management and capital operations at some Bitcoin treasury companies are also changing. Jack Mallers has stepped down as CEO; and Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), affiliated with Adam Back, failed to complete a proposed merger due to the deteriorating market environment.Analysts believe that with rising financing costs and increased BTC price volatility, the "borrowing to buy Bitcoin" treasury model is undergoing a reshuffle. Some companies are shifting from simply hoard
According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Yu Jin (@EmberCN), BTC treasury company @KULRTech transferred another 145.8 BTC (approximately $9.45 million) to Coinbase Prime 5 hours ago. After multiple position reductions over nearly 3 months, its originally held 1,021 BTC (approximately $101 million) now remains at only 100 BTC (approximately $6.47 million). The company's average BTC reserve price was $98,923, while the average selling price was only $74,368, resulting in an accumulated loss of approximately $22.62 million. Currently, its official website's Bitcoin treasury page has been taken offline, and its official social media has not mentioned Bitcoin-related content for a long time; it is widely believed that the company has abandoned its Bitcoin treasury strategy.

: Kim Byung-yeon, a director of the Research Division of the Investment Strategy Department at NH Investment & Securities, stated at a meeting with a visiting delegation of journalists and analysts held at the Korea Exchange headquarters in Seoul on July 20, that the current Korean stock market has already reflected concerns over a semiconductor peak, geopolitical anxieties, and supply-demand disruptions, making the decline excessive.NH Investment & Securities sets the lower range of the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) at 5,800 to 6,250 points and believes the index is more likely to rebound to the low-to-mid 7,000-point range after a sharp price correction, before stabilizing according to the cloud revenue growth rate and capital expenditure plans of major US technology companies.Kim Byung-yeon stated that attention should be paid to the absolute level of semiconductor exports rather than the export growth rate. The institution estimates that the net profit of the semiconductor industry will increase from 217 trillion won last year to 759 trillion won this year and 1,019 trillion won next year, with a net profit growth rate of 34% next year.
According to official website data, VanEck's non-financial preferred stock ETF, PFXF, has further increased its position in Strategy Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC), with the total market value of holdings reaching $207 million.
according to fund official website data, VanEck's non-financial preferred stock ETF PFXF has further increased its position in Strategy Stretch Preferred Stock (STRC), bringing the total holding market value to $207 million.

According to crypto analyst Darkfost (@Darkfost_Coc), citing CryptoQuant data, Strategy has paused BTC purchases, and demand on the ETF side has also shown no signs of recovery—after ending eight consecutive weeks of net capital outflows, net flows turned negative again this week, wiping out all capital inflows from last week, while large institutional buying pressure continues to decline.
According to The Block, JPMorgan analysts pointed out in the latest report that although recent spot Bitcoin ETF fund inflows have fluctuated significantly, Strategy's increase of USD reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion (covering approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividends), as well as Bitcoin futures (including CME futures and perpetual contracts) recording positive fund inflows this week, are both "positive signals" for Bitcoin's prospects. The analysts also noted that leveraged ETF inflows linked to Strategy have remained stable for seven consecutive weeks, mainly driven by retail investors, effectively supporting its stock price. Meanwhile, Strategy President and CEO Phong Le stated that the company is "very confident" in its balance sheet, will only consider debt risk if Bitcoin prices fall to the $8,000 to $10,000 range, and plans to continue issuing additional shares after the STRC preferred stock returns to a $100 par value, with the proceeds potentially used to purchase more Bitcoin.
JPMorgan analysts say Strategy’s recent increase in USD cash reserves, along with positive fund flows in the Bitcoin futures market, are “encouraging signs” for Bitcoin’s outlook, despite recent volatility in spot Bitcoin ETF flows.The report notes that flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs have been unstable in recent weeks, turning negative this week after inflows last week. In contrast, leveraged ETFs linked to Strategy have seen relatively stable and positive flows over the past seven weeks. Analysts attribute this primarily to retail investor buying, which may have supported Strategy’s stock price and prevented its common stock from falling below the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings.Meanwhile, Strategy recently increased its USD cash reserves from $2.55 billion to $3 billion, enough to cover approximately 20 months of preferred stock dividend payments. JPMorgan had previously suggested that Strategy should raise its cash reserves to cover two to three years of dividends, in order to alleviate market concerns about the company potentially being forced to sell Bitcoin to pay dividends in the future.Analysts say it is still difficult to determine whether Strategy's move to bolster its cash reserves has directly improved Bitcoin investor sentiment. However, the fact that Bitcoin futures still recorded positive fund flows this week, against a backdrop of spot BTC ETF outflows, is also seen as an encouraging signal for the market outlook.
According to the NYDIG research report (Author: Greg Cipolaro, July 10, 2026), Bitcoin fell 13.4% in the second quarter of 2026, with year-to-date losses expanding to 32.9%, while the Nasdaq 100 Index rose 27.7% and tech stocks surged 43.5% during the same period, indicating that this decline was not due to macro risk aversion, but rather Bitcoin-specific supply pressure. The core pressure stems from Strategy (MSTR) launching the "Digital Credit Capital Framework," authorizing the sale of approximately $1.25 billion worth of Bitcoin to cover capital structure obligations, marking a shift of the largest historical marginal buyer from continuous accumulation to active monetization, and the DAT complex overall turning from a demand engine to a supply risk. Regarding ETFs, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net outflow of $4.9 billion in the second quarter, but the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust attracted $364.8 million in inflows against the trend, showing distribution channels remain competitive. Regarding the derivatives market, against the backdrop of weak spot demand and continuous outflows from ETFs and stablecoins, positive funding rates coupled with rising open interest indicate leveraged longs are rebuilding positions, posing a risk of passive liquidation triggering a new round of declines. Bitcoin has currently fallen 54.3% cumulatively from the all-time high of $126,000 set on October 6, 2025; if referencing the 2018 and 2022 cycles (gradually narrowing declines of approximately 70%, approximately 370
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $4.5 billion in June, marking their worst monthly performance since their launch in January 2024. Bitcoin fell 20.48% in June, hitting a 21-month low of $58,190 on July 1. Citi has lowered its 12-month Bitcoin price target from $112,000 to $82,000, following a previous reduction from $143,000 on March 17. Citi also cut its 12-month Ethereum price target from $3,175 to $2,240. Strategy sold 32 Bitcoins between May 26 and 31, worth approximately $2.5 million, its first sale since December 2022. As of May 31, it held 843,706 Bitcoins, with the board approving a framework for selling up to $1.25 billion in Bitcoin. Open interest in leveraged Bitcoin futures fell from around $31.3 billion around May 30 to about $21.6 billion in early June. Within two weeks, major holders increased their holdings by over 270,000 Bitcoins.
Odaily Strategy sold nearly $467 million worth of MSTR common stock last week but did not increase its Bitcoin holdings. Analysts believe this indicates that the company is implementing its recently proposed Digital Credit Capital Framework and beginning to prioritize strengthening its balance sheet, rather than solely pursuing short-term BTC accumulation.According to the latest filings, Strategy has increased its U.S. dollar cash reserves to $3 billion, while its Bitcoin holdings remain unchanged at 843,775 BTC. Both Benchmark and TD Cowen believe this move strengthens the company's balance sheet and helps boost market confidence in its preferred equity financing model.TD Cowen reiterated its "Buy" rating and $260 price target for Strategy stock, stating that this operation is an early signal of management executing the new capital allocation framework. The firm noted that Strategy's choice to expand dollar reserves and pause Bitcoin purchases demonstrates a greater emphasis on balance sheet discipline rather than maximizing short-term BTC accumulation.Benchmark also maintained its "Buy" rating with a $570 price target. On Monday, Strategy's stock price traded at approximately $91.50, near its long-term low. Overall, analysts believe that amid pressure on preferred equity financing tools like STRC and market focus on dividend coverage capacity, Strategy's increase in cash reserves may help alleviate investor concerns regarding a forced sale of BTC.
Odaily Bitcoin has been declining since October last year, with its current price hovering around half of its all-time high of $126,000, indicating the market remains in a deep bear phase. Multiple industry analysts believe the current pressure on Bitcoin stems primarily from three factors: the four-year cycle, macroeconomic inflationary pressures, and market leverage liquidations.Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, stated that Bitcoin's long-standing "four-year cycle" continues to influence investor psychology. Historically, Bitcoin typically undergoes approximately three years of an upward cycle followed by a one-year correction period. Investors have developed cyclical expectations and began reducing some long-term holdings towards the end of 2025.Additionally, the macroeconomic environment is a significant drag on Bitcoin. Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, pointed out that rising inflationary pressures in the US have weakened market expectations for interest rate cuts. Investors are shifting towards higher-yielding traditional assets, leading to capital outflows from risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. The short-term bottom is estimated to be around $58,000, with future trends still influenced by interest rate policies, corporate Bitcoin buying behavior, and progress in US crypto regulatory legislation.Excessive market leverage has also exacerbated this correction. As a large number of investors expanded their Bitcoin exposure through borrowing and financing during the bull market, derivatives open interest has declined as the market weakened. Digital asset treasury companies have also come under pressure. Strategy's stock price has fallen approximately 75% since October last year, and its previously promoted model of corporate Bitcoin accumulation is facing renewed market scrutiny.However, some analysts remain optimistic about Bitcoin's prospects. Adrian Fritz, Chief Investment Strategist at 21Shares, predicts that Bitcoin may bottom out this summer, rebound after interest rates shift towards easing and geopolitical conflicts ease, with a year-end price target of $100,000.

It argues that the market hype surrounding South Korean artificial intelligence startups and university research is significantly overestimated, with a significant gap in overall competitiveness compared to China. It suggests that South Korea learn from China's talent introduction pathway, launch a mechanism similar to the "Thousand Talents Plan" to attract overseas Korean talent to return, and actively recruit top international artificial intelligence talent; otherwise, South Korea may gradually become a nation dependent on artificial intelligence technology.
Odaily Odaily Planet Daily reported that Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, stated that the market has misinterpreted Michael Saylor's adjustments to Strategy Inc.'s bitcoin strategy, and the recent selling pressure stems from confusion over this strategy rather than a change in bitcoin's long-term outlook. Strategy Inc. is shifting bitcoin from being a reserve accumulation asset to serving as collateral to support its STRC preferred stock. Kendrick maintains the bitcoin price forecast of $100,000 by the end of 2026. As of press time, BTC was trading at $64,322.89, and Strategy's stock MSTR closed at $94.64 on Friday. The outstanding notional value of STRC is approximately $10 billion, which Kendrick believes makes the preferred stock heavily overcollateralized due to its bitcoin backing. (Bitcoin.com News).
