According to SoSoValue data, as of 8 AM Eastern Time on June 29, 2026, the total net purchase of Bitcoin by global listed companies (excluding mining companies) for the week was $14.65 million, a decrease of 83% compared to last week.Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) did not purchase Bitcoin last week. At the same time, Strategy announced two securities repurchase plans, each up to $1 billion, targeting Class A common stock and digital credit preferred stock led by STRC, with an annual dividend yield of 8% to 10%, aiming to optimize the capital structure without consuming existing dollar reserves. To fund the aforementioned repurchases and support daily capital expenditures, the board also approved a Bitcoin liquidation plan, allowing the company to generate up to $1.25 billion in additional revenue by selling Bitcoin to replenish dollar reserves, and to pay maturing preferred stock dividends and interest expenses (or to replenish dollar reserves after such payments) when management deems it more beneficial than issuing Class A common stock or other capital market transactions, as well as to provide additional funding support for the two repurchase plans (including related taxes and transaction fees). Although this move by MicroStrategy releases the liquidation authorization, it currently serves only as a reserve shield for repurchases, with actual "momentum not sold"; its core logic has shifted from the initial "aggressive expansion of the balance sheet" to the refined operational phase of "utilizing crypto assets to optimize equity capital structure and reduce the capital cost generated by high-yield stocks."The Japanese listed company Metaplanet did not purchase Bitcoin last week, marking ten consecutive weeks without purchases.In addition, two other companies purchased Bitcoin last week. Hong Kong's global digital health, consumer goods sales, and artificial intelligence computing power technology group CIMG announced that it has just completed the first phase of a large stock and warrant issuance, receiving $13.5 million paid in Bitcoin (207.7 Bitcoins at an average price of $65,000), bringing its total holdings to 937.7 Bitcoins; Brazilian Bitcoin company OrangeBTC announced on June 29 that it invested $4.9 million to purchase 74 Bitcoins at a price of $66,233, bringing its total holdings to 3,896 Bitcoins.As of the time of writing, the total amount of Bitcoin held by the global listed companies (excluding mining companies) in the statistics is 1,142,484 Bitcoins, an increase of 0.02% compared to last week, with a current market value of approximately $6.852 billion, accounting for 5.7% of Bitcoin's circulating market value.

According to CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV_, the current reading of the Bitcoin UTXO profit and loss ratio model has fallen into a historically low range, indicating that the market is undergoing a deeper internal cleanup.However, the analyst emphasizes that this does not mean the bottom has been confirmed— the 365-day moving average needs to decline further to prove that the market's long-term profit structure has been fully reset, rather than just a short-term oversold reaction. Although a brief rebound may occur due to a short squeeze, it should not be seen as a structural recovery signal if the profit and loss ratio fails to sustain its reconstruction.Overall, signs of internal cleanup in BTC are beginning to emerge, but historical patterns suggest that the market may still need to endure more pressure before fully emerging from this bear market.

According to Documenting Bitcoin, the Bitcoin network successfully mined a block using the Stratum V2 protocol for the first time. Compared to the currently widely used Stratum V1, Stratum V2 allows miners to independently construct block templates and choose transactions to package, rather than being completely determined by the mining pool. This retains the mining pool's revenue distribution mechanism while reducing the mining pool's control over transaction packaging, which helps enhance the decentralization and censorship resistance of Bitcoin mining.

Liquid Capital founder Yi Lihua posted that the current Bitcoin trend represents the third wave of decline since the peak of 1011. According to volatility theory and cyclical patterns, this may be the final major drop.Yi Lihua pointed out that the main influencing factors for this round of decline include the performance of the U.S. stock market and Strategy, while closely monitoring the Federal Reserve's response to CPI data to see if it will change interest rate cut or hike expectations, which could trigger a continued pullback in the U.S. stock market. Additionally, black swan or explosive events often occur at the tail end of past bear markets, which have not yet appeared and still require ongoing observation.He believes that based on Bitcoin's peak of $126,000, a 60% drop would bring it down to about $51,000, and a 66% drop would bring it down to about $43,000. Regardless of where the final bottom lies, July and August may be the last bottoming area of this cycle and the most noteworthy time window for bottom fishing in the next three years.

As of the week ending June 26, the net outflow of the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF was $1.79 billion, setting the second-largest single-week net outflow record in history, with the number of consecutive weeks of net outflows extending to seven weeks.

According to a report by crypto.news, Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz stated that the core reason for Bitcoin's recent decline is the "collapse of confidence triggered by Strategy." The issue lies not only in the price of Bitcoin itself but also in the growing concerns in the market regarding Strategy's financing model.As the largest publicly traded holder of Bitcoin globally, Strategy's stock and preferred securities have become key indicators for traders to measure Bitcoin market risk. Previously, the company's Bitcoin flywheel effect had come under pressure, with stock trading prices dipping below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, indicating that its long-reliant "premium stock issuance to repurchase Bitcoin" model is being challenged. Novogratz bluntly stated that STRC trading is weak, which should have been maintained around $100. Currently, Strategy's annual dividend obligation has risen to about $1.2 billion, and a decline in cash reserves has reduced the dividend coverage period to only about 14 months.Bitcoin is also facing pressure on a macro level. Novogratz summarized the current market logic as "a strong dollar means a weak Bitcoin," with hawkish central bank signals and a strengthening dollar suppressing demand for risk assets. From a technical perspective, the $59,000 to $60,000 range for Bitcoin has become a critical defense line, and if it breaks down, the downward space could open up to $45,000.Novogratz also admitted that the current situation is complex, with a 50-50 probability of a rebound or a deep correction. Outflows from ETF funds, weak liquidity, and cautious positioning in the options market further confirm the fragile market sentiment. Now, the health of Strategy's balance sheet, the performance of STRC prices, and cash positions have evolved from being company-level issues to becoming confidence signals for the overall Bitcoin market.

According to Cointelegraph, Swan CEO Cory Klippsten believes that the probability of Bitcoin reaching an all-time high in 2026 is only 10% to 15%.Cory Klippsten stated that some truly exogenous events must occur, and he believes that currently, it is unknown what events could cause the price of Bitcoin to double within the next six months.

Strategy founder Michael Saylor has once again released information related to the Bitcoin Tracker and stated, "We are gonna need more charts."According to previous patterns, Strategy always discloses information about increasing Bitcoin holdings the day after relevant news is released.

According to Cointelegraph, CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the Bitcoin unspent transaction output (UTXO) data shows that the proportion of loss transactions to profit transactions in the current market has dropped to the lowest level of this bear market cycle, indicating that investors are entering a clear "surrender" phase.This indicator has previously triggered multiple times at historical cycle bottom areas. The last similar low occurred during the mid-2023 deep phase of the bear market, when the Bitcoin price briefly fell to around $26,000. Analysts believe that such phases usually correspond to extremely low market sentiment, with long-term investors gradually starting to accumulate again.Darkfost pointed out that this is the first time this signal has been triggered since the start of the current correction, indicating that the number of UTXOs sold at a loss is significantly increasing, reflecting a broader sell-off and surrender behavior that has begun. He also added that the spent output profit ratio (SOPR) of long-term holders' Bitcoin is gradually entering negative territory.

According to monitoring by Catcher Predict, in the event of "Bitcoin breaking through on June 28" in the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of the "yes" option in the sub-market "60,000" has experienced significant fluctuations, soaring from 45.95% an hour ago to the current 66.3% (a fluctuation of 20.35%).

Grayscale Research's research director Zach Pandl stated that rather than raising the STRC preferred stock dividend yield by 50 basis points, it would be better to sell over $3 billion in Bitcoin to meet cash payment obligations and restore market confidence. As an institutional researcher, Zach Pandl publicly suggested that Strategy's sale of over $3 billion in BTC has certain indicative significance.If Strategy ultimately implements a large-scale sale, it will bring considerable selling pressure to the market and may weaken the narrative of companies continuously hoarding Bitcoin. This viewpoint also reflects market concerns about Strategy's capital structure and its heavy reliance on the sustainability of its Bitcoin balance sheet. Attention should be paid to Strategy's official response and whether there are actual Bitcoin transfers in its on-chain wallet.

According to Cointelegraph, in the wave of declines in technology stocks, cryptocurrency-related stocks have suffered particularly severe losses, with the divergence from the broader market continuing to widen. Coinbase (COIN) and Circle (CRCL) have fallen 69% and 72% from their respective historical highs, far exceeding the 48% to 57% pullback of mainstream tech stocks like Oracle, Salesforce, Netflix, and Palantir; in contrast, the S&P 500 index has only retreated 3.5% from its recent peak.On the fundamental side, Coinbase's first-quarter performance was significantly below Wall Street expectations, with a 21% quarter-over-quarter decline in revenue and a loss of $1.49 per share, while analysts had previously expected earnings of $0.27 per share. Bitcoin fell below $60,000 this week, down more than 54% from its October peak; Ethereum also dropped to around $1,500, down about 69% from last year's high, with market sentiment continuing to deteriorate.21Shares has lowered its 2026 cryptocurrency market expectations in its mid-year outlook report, believing that the performance of digital asset prices is significantly lagging behind the industry's fundamentals. The institution pointed out that institutional adoption is still deepening, with stablecoins, asset tokenization, and prediction markets maintaining strong development momentum, but the four-year market cycle of Bitcoin remains the dominant force in price trends. The report also acknowledged previous misjudgments—"the cycle of Bitcoin is evolving, but has not yet broken," retracting its earlier assertion that the four-year cycle was outdated.Analysts believe that the deep pullback in cryptocurrency stocks reflects the overall weakness of the digital asset market, the uncertainty of legislative progress in the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure, and the compounded pressure from the potential impact of AI technology on existing business models.
