Strategy just reported a staggering $12.4 billion loss for the fourth quarter after Bitcoin’s sharp decline dragged the value of its massive treasury below the company’s average cost basis.
The company, led by Michael Saylor, now holds more than 713,000 BTC, making it the largest corporate Bitcoin holder by a wide margin. But the recent selloff has flipped the narrative from massive paper gains to equally massive unrealized losses in a matter of weeks.
Despite the hit, Strategy still has billions in cash on hand and a history of leaning into volatility rather than retreating from it. In previous downturns, Saylor has treated price drops as buying opportunities rather than warning signs.
Now the big question is whether this cycle will follow the same script. Will Strategy double down on its Bitcoin bet, or will the latest losses force a shift in approach?
With the stock swinging sharply alongside Bitcoin, investors will be watching the company’s next moves very closely.

Якщо звести Walrus до суті то архітектор такої собі доказової журналістики там, де все горить.
У гарячих точках правда зазвичай гине разом з носієм і флешку витягли, телефон розбили, і все, кінець історії. Walrus робить інакше щось, щойно камера щось зняла, сирі шматки відео одразу розлітаються по всьому світу, по різних вузлах. Хочеш то конфіскуй пристрій, хочеш і спали його. Доказ уже не вб’єш, він розмазаний скрізь. Хоча, якщо чесно, то мене воно водночас і трохи лякає. Бо коли доказ неможливо знищити, відповідальність за правду теж нікуди не зникає.
Цензура просто не встигає. А от для тих, хто пізніше захоче розібратися і для історії, для суду, для нас із вами то все залишається на місці завдяки криптографічним доказам.
Тому що в часи, коли брехня вже навіть не ховається, потрібні речі, які реально неможливо спалити чи стерти.@WalrusProtocol #walrus $WAL

Tether is making another strategic move beyond its core stablecoin business—this time into gold.
The company has invested $150 million for a 12% stake in Gold.com, a platform that offers access to both physical and tokenized gold. As part of the deal, #Tether plans to integrate its gold-backed #XAUT token into the platform and explore allowing users to buy physical bullion using USDT and its new U.S.-regulated stablecoin, USAT.
The timing is notable. Gold prices have surged to new highs, and the tokenized gold market has expanded rapidly in response to rising demand for safe-haven assets. Tether’s XAUT already accounts for the majority of the tokenized gold sector, and this move could further strengthen its position.
Rather than treating #gold as a short-term trade, Tether says it sees the metal as a long-term hedge in an increasingly uncertain global environment. The investment also signals a broader trend: crypto companies are steadily building bridges between digital assets and traditional stores of value.
If tokenized commodities continue to gain traction, moves like this could shape how investors access assets like gold in the years ahead.
BlackRock’s spot #Bitcoin ETF just had one of its most intense trading days since launch, with about $10 billion in shares changing hands as Bitcoin’s price tumbled.
The surge in activity didn’t come from excitement—it came from stress. #IBIT dropped 13% on the day, and recent outflows suggest many investors are starting to feel the pain after entering the market near the highs. In fact, some analysts say the average dollar invested in the fund is now underwater.
It’s a sharp reminder that even institutional-grade crypto products aren’t immune to volatility. When Bitcoin moves fast, #ETFs become the quickest exit or entry point for large investors, which can amplify both the upside and the downside.
Now the big question is whether this wave of selling marks a short-term shakeout or the start of a deeper reset across the Bitcoin ETF market.

JPMorgan is taking a more nuanced view of Bitcoin’s recent struggles.
While gold surged more than 60% in 2025 on strong central bank demand, #Bitcoin has moved in the opposite direction, underperforming both traditional safe havens and several risk assets. On the surface, that divergence looks like a blow to the “digital gold” narrative.
But JPMorgan’s analysts say the story might not be that simple.
According to the bank, gold’s outperformance has come with much higher volatility. In contrast, Bitcoin’s lower volatility could actually make it more attractive over the long term—especially if sentiment shifts and it regains its role as a hedge against extreme economic scenarios.
In fact, the bank noted that if Bitcoin were to match gold’s volatility-adjusted flows, the price would theoretically need to climb toward $266,000.
The takeaway: short-term weakness doesn’t necessarily invalidate the long-term thesis. For some analysts, the current divergence may simply be a reset phase before the next leg of the “digital gold” narrative.

Walrus doesn’t meet you at launch.
@WalrusProtocol meets you six months later, when the dashboards are flat, the channel is quiet, and the person who set this up has moved on. The blob is still being pulled. Still referenced. Still assumed to be there... even though nobody’s actively thinking about it anymore.
That’s where most storage starts lying.
Availability turns into a habit instead of a fact. Nobody re-checks it. Nobody re-owns it. It just keeps working until the day it doesn’t, and by then the question isn’t “what failed?”... it’s “who was supposed to still care?”
Walrus doesn’t ask for attention to stay high.
The window was agreed to already.
The terms don’t renegotiate themselves just because the room went quiet.
So when the data is still there long after the excitement isn’t, it isn’t because someone remembered to babysit it.
It’s because the system expected everyone to forget.
