Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Dollar-Cost Averaging

Stress-Test Week

The crypto market fell about 25% during Feb 2–8. Bitcoin briefly dipped below $60,000 and is now trading around $65,000 (I’ll plug in the latest figure tomorrow).

In 24 hours, $2.66B in longs were liquidated, and the Fear & Greed Index dropped to 9 — the lowest since June 2022 (Terra crash era).

Analysts’ read: forced selling (funds/exchange/hidden leverage), a local liquidity squeeze among large players, and possible selling by Chinese entities.

Strategy (MSTR) Report & the Bitcoin Security Program

Strategy published Q4 2025 results:

BTC on balance sheet: 713,502 BTC (≈ $54.26B).
BTC performance in 2025: 22.8%; increase: +101,873 BTC.
Capital raised in 2025: $25.3B.
USD reserve: $2.25B (for dividends).
Operating loss: $17.4B; quarterly net loss: $12.4–12.6B.

Michael Saylor announced a global Bitcoin Security Program to defend the network against threats from the quantum-computing era.

He stressed that quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin — it will harden it. The program focuses on migrating to quantum-resistant encryption.

Supply Shock 2.0: active coins move to secure addresses while “lost” coins (no active keys to migrate) remain frozen — potentially reducing circulating supply even further.
