Strategy Sales Weaken 'hodl' Sentiment for Bitcoin

Dow Jones07-06

1053 ET - Investors are not surprised about Strategy Inc. confirming fresh sales from its bitcoin treasury, but the news may be having a psychological effect on how traders approach the market. "Each actual sale weakens the 'never sell' perception around the BTC treasury model and brings capital structure pressure back into focus," says Lacie Zhang of Bitget. "So today's reaction is probably less about the size of the sale itself, and more about the narrative discount that comes from making those sales real." Zhang adds that while the hit to sentiment is spurring bitcoin selling, there are other signs of prices rebounding longer-term. Bitcoin is down 1.1% to just above $62,000, according to data from LSEG. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
