Last night, I meant to say here that I was speculating that Saylors comment about "adding green dots" might mean that they were going to start buying US dollars.

And that turns out to be the announcement.

I will admit my initial thought was they would be selling Bitcoin to buy USD.  But the announcement sounds like they're just srtting aside, a US dollar reserve, alongside their Bitcoin reserve, which they're still adding to.

My gut thinks this could be a prudent strategy for avoiding certain turbulence hurled at them, but I don't know.


As to the hellish price action of the last 12 hours, I just have this to say.

Shit.

I haven't figured out what's causing it exactly yet.

It is a very good strategy, that is why Tether is not going anywhere. As long as they keep themselves strongly invested in US treasuries they are protected.

Reports are stating that Bitcoin’s volatility spiked due to over-leveraged traders being forced to liquidate positions. And this sudden drop triggered cascading liquidations across all exchanges and markets, which in turn amplified the sell‑off through cascading liquidations even more across exchanges and markets, furthering the downside movement.

[BTCETFInvestor]

Reports put the 24‑hour liquidation totals in the high hundreds of millions to low billions of dollars, with multiple outlets citing figures near $1–$2 billion of leveraged positions wiped out during the worst of the move. These liquidation tallies were concentrated during a short window when price fell through key support levels, producing a sudden spike in realized volatility.

When highly leveraged long positions are forced to close, exchanges automatically sell collateral to cover losses. That selling pressure can push price lower, which then triggers more margin calls and stop‑losses on other platforms and OTC desks - a classic cascade effect. Because many traders use similar leverage levels and cross‑exchange derivatives are interconnected, the initial forced selling often becomes self‑reinforcing, magnifying the downside move and spiking intraday volatility.

The cascade was broad,  in centralized exchanges and derivatives venues - with some spot markets registering elevated liquidation activity and order‑book stress. The magnitude and timing varied by venue (liquidation algorithms, margin thresholds, and liquidity depth differ across exchanges), so some platforms saw heavier immediate impact while others absorbed selling more gradually.

[Big Dirams]

BTC is down a whopping 5% 6% 7% 8% in just the past 24 hours on $70B $71B $72B $73B $74B $75B $76B $77B $78B $79B $80B $81B volume!  

Looks like everybody is running (stampeding) for the exits! 

Everyone sprinting for the exits like it's black Friday sale.

Early December and we’re already in a massive price drop. The steepest correction since the spot ETF launch. ETF recent outflows and big whale sell offs are the main drivers for this correction. The market is finding it difficult to find a strong support because institutions keep pulling cash even though average holders are still HODLing.

Holy shit is this true???

The cycle is not over yet, major companies’ execs argue. The Bitcoin (BTC) drawdown is the result of sentiment shocks, not fundamentals, and unless it falls below the March 2024 ATH, the coin should continue the rally towards $160,000 soon.

December began with a market drop. At the time of writing on Monday morning (UTC), it’s down nearly 6% over the last 24 hours, standing at $3.01 trillion.

BTC specifically decreased by 5.8% in the same timeframe, currently trading at $85,999. It’s down 0.5% in a week, 22% in a month, 11.5% in a year, and 32% from the October all-time high of $126,080.

That is retarded.  $3 trillion.  Must be talking about some irrelevant bullshit.

The whole of bitcoin is less than $2 trillion. This thread is about bitcoin, yet it would be interesting to hear if some of bitcoin’s derivative products were to be selling more than the whole market cap of bitcoin. That’s more evidence that we are not talking about bitcoin, so how would it be relevant, including deceptive to be implying that we are talking about bitcoin.

The article's sentence; "December began with a market drop. At the time of writing on Monday morning (UTC), it’s down nearly 6% over the last 24 hours, standing at $3.01 trillion." is about the crypto markets in general being down $3 trillion, not Bitcoin alone.

The most relevant part I quoted is"...unless it (BTC) falls below the March 2024 ATH, the coin should continue the rally towards $160,000 soon."  

No way are Bitcoin’s derivative products selling more than the whole market cap of Bitcoin! Far, far too many controls and regulations for that to happen.

Strategy (MSTR) Forms Reserve & Adjusts Bitcoin Target Downward

Strategy Inc built a sizable cash reserve to support dividends amid trimmed Bitcoin targets.

The firm expanded its BTC stash while lowering 2025 expectations for price and income.

As part of its ongoing strategy, the company recently bought an additional 130 Bitcoin, spending $11.7 million. This purchase brought its total holdings to 650,000 BTC, acquired at a cost of $48.38 billion.

This accounts for about 3.1% of the total Bitcoin supply that will ever exist.

I do find this one to be interesting.

Despite the price drop miners are sinking some money back in.

and yes I know it is early into the jump about 1/3 of the way in.

Phil - I also find it interesting that the big mining operators are continuing to spend huge sums on equipment, electricity, land, buildings and employees when just 860 days from now in Spring of 2028 the reward will be cut in half again - - making it MUCH more difficult to earn a profit.

It's a twisted thing. You can argue the suspended sentence of 8 of the 9 criminals, but 48 hours (one weekend) for the woman for insult and threatening is justified, because she already had a negative record. If it would have been her first delict, she would have gone free, too.
Laws don't make much sense, sometimes.
