BlockBeats News, December 12 — BitMine Chairman Tom Lee recently stated that the Strategy company of Bitcoin encrypted treasury (DAT) establishing a $1.4 billion cash reserve is a "wise move." Although Strategy's stock price has fallen more than 50% over the past six months, this cash reserve will enable the company to continue paying shareholder dividends during Bitcoin price declines without selling its $61 billion Bitcoin holdings. Tom Lee pointed out that during the previous Bitcoin downturn cycle, Strategy's stock trading price was below its net asset value (NAV), and building a cash reserve was precisely to prepare for such situations. As the largest ETH treasury company holding over $12 billion worth of Ethereum, BitMine has not yet built

Bitcoin has recently been lacking upward momentum, with a clear bearish flag pattern appearing on the technical chart, triggering market concerns about the next target price level. Several traders believe that Bitcoin's short-term risks are rapidly accumulating, and if it breaks below a key support level, it could trigger a deeper correction, with a target price of USD, potentially extending down to the @E5@ USD region. Trader Roman emphasized in the latest analysis that Bitcoin faces an approximately 17% potential decline. He pointed out that since Bitcoin hit a low near USD, the price has failed to rebound effectively and has been oscillating within an upward channel. This kind of pattern is highly likely to develop into a bearish flag. Under this pattern, Bitcoin may continue to make lower lows after a brief rebound.

PANews December 12 News, Fidelity Global Macro Director Jurrien Timmer posted on X platform that after excessive speculation in the crypto market has subsided and market sentiment has improved, Bitcoin's official closing in 2025 is actually quite good under the background of Federal Reserve easing policies and calm bond and foreign exchange markets. Previously, Bitcoin treasury companies provided "returns" by issuing stocks to buy Bitcoin, which may now become a resistance to Bitcoin's rise and also raise questions about whether another four-year cycle has already ended. However, observing the curve structure of Bitcoin's mature network shows that since 2010, Bitcoin has experienced five bullish waves, each smaller in magnitude than the previous one, but with increasingly longer durations. From the performance in the recent bull market (which began around $16,000 in 2022), it can be seen that Bitcoin has become very mature. According to Ju

American Bitcoin (ABTC) has experienced significant adjustments over the past month, with its stock price falling over 60% to hover around $1.85. In the last 24 hours, the stock price dropped an additional 4.9%, triggering market concerns about its business model and financial health. However, despite the worsening market sentiment, the company has quietly expanded its Bitcoin reserves, laying the groundwork for its "Bitcoin Infrastructure Backbone Network" strategy. According to the latest disclosures, as of December 8, 2025, ABTC holds approximately 4,783 Bitcoins, an increase of 416 Bitcoins in just the past week, representing a significant growth. These Bitcoins are obtained through mining, strategic acquisitions, and a custodial and collateralized structure in cooperation with Bitmain. The company emphasizes that its core value is increasing in tandem with its Bitcoin reserves.

On Thursday, the US stock market retreated, with Oracle's stock price plunging over 11%, marking the largest drop in nearly a year. The market is once again worried that the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI)-related capital expenditures, which far exceeds actual returns, could put pressure on the balance sheets of tech giants. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market performed relatively stably, forming a mild decoupling from the weak performance of tech stocks. Data shows that Bitcoin (BTC) has rebounded above $92,000, maintaining a slight upward trend after holding onto key support levels, rising approximately 2.6% for the day. Traders are more focused on the maintenance of trend structure, with capital flowing into large-cap assets and risk appetite remaining cautious. Ethereum (ETH) also rose to around $3,260, while SOL increased by over 6%, outperforming mainstream assets and indicating a market recovery in demand for high-volatility Layer-1 tokens.

Crypto analyst Murphy stated that institutional traders believe that there is capital betting on short-term support at 90,000, while 85,000 is seen as a pullback buying point. Market participants are also buying options in preparation for future large fluctuations.

In Q4 2025, the pace at which companies are purchasing Bitcoin (BTC) has significantly slowed, with 65% of listed companies currently holding Bitcoin at a price below their cost basis, resulting in unrealized losses. Against the backdrop of more cautious corporate fund management, Bitcoin miners are gradually becoming the most stable accumulation force in the public market, laying the foundation for corporate adoption in the next stage. Entering November, Bitcoin's price recorded the largest monthly decline of the year, dropping 17.67%, causing many corporate investors who built positions during 2025 to incur losses. According to the latest Bitcoin Treasuries report, more than two-thirds of the 100 listed companies in the sample are holding positions with unrealized losses, leading to a cooling market demand.

Matrixport's weekly report indicates that despite the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, future policy uncertainty has increased, and the market's response to the situation is limited.

According to data from blockchain analytics firm Glassnode, whales holding between 10,000 and 100,000 BTC have sold or redistributed approximately 36,500 BTC since December 1, equivalent to about $3.4 billion. This sell-off occurred as Bitcoin struggled to break through the $94,000 resistance level. Currently, BTC is trading at $92,250 in the Asian morning session on Friday, down 0.2%. Institutional custodians or early miners holding large amounts of Bitcoin are reducing risk, shifting market sentiment from accumulation to distribution. This trend contrasts with the still-high buying enthusiasm among retail investors. Meanwhile, the liquidity of stablecoins has declined significantly, with inflows decreasing by 50% since August this year, indicating limited financial support for Bitcoin to break the $100,000 barrier.

CryptoQuant analyst DarkFrost pointed out that earlier this month, "accumulator" addresses of Bitcoin increased their holdings by over 75,000 coins, demonstrating a strong investment willingness.

Animoca Brands Co-Founder Yat Siu stated that the company has invested in over 628 companies, of which about 200 are gaming projects.

Odaily Planet Daily News: Cryptocurrency analyst Jason Pizzino's latest research indicates that Bitcoin price may not touch its long-term bottom until October 2026. Currently, BTC trading volume continues to decline, resembling the pattern seen from late 2022 to early 2023, which reduces the likelihood of a short-term bull market return. Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that the share of large investors' deposits on exchanges has dropped from 47% in mid-November to the current 21%, with the average deposit size decreasing by 36%, indicating that selling pressure is weakening. If this trend continues, BTC price is expected to rebound to $99,000. Analysts point out that the 200-day simple moving average acts as a strong resistance, market risk appetite is insufficient, and Bitcoin may need to go through a consolidation period before a new round of market activity begins.

CZ quoted 20-year-old lottery winner Brenda who refused a one-time payout of $1 million and chose a weekly $1,000 annuity. He suggested she invest the cash in Bitcoin or BNB for higher returns, believing the investment gains would surpass the total annuity of $5.2 million.

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points as scheduled, and the market reacted quickly, with Ethereum emerging as the biggest winner. Although Bitcoin hovered around $92,000, ETH successfully held its pre-meeting gains above $3,300, highlighting its sensitivity to liquidity cycles. This round of gains was not driven by leverage but by a structural reevaluation fueled by spot demand. CryptoQuant data shows that despite ETH prices rising, the funding rates in the derivatives market remain low, indicating that the typical high-leverage bubbles associated with upward movements have not appeared. On-chain data also supports this trend. Santiment reports that in the three weeks leading up to the Federal Reserve meeting, "whales" and "sharks" accumulated approximately 1 million ETH, worth over $3.1 billion. This suggests that institutions were betting early on a continued easing cycle by the Fed rather than aggressive tightening. Meanwhile, the approximately $66.5 billion in stablecoin reserves (dry powder) on exchanges provides strong potential buying pressure for the rally.

Bitcoin remains resilient after the Federal Reserve's third rate cut this year, with a brief correction but still stabilizing above $90,000. Over the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has declined by about 3%, mainly due to traders' disappointment over policy expectations not being met and large holders selling off. Previously, the market widely anticipated a more dovish stance, so after briefly reaching $92,000, Bitcoin experienced profit-taking, causing Ethereum, Solana, XRP, ADA, and Dogecoin to fall in tandem. The overall market capitalization also decreased from $3.22 trillion to $3.07 trillion. There are still disagreements within the Federal Reserve regarding the future direction of monetary policy, and the plan to possibly purchase up to $40 billion in Treasury bonds over the next 30 days further increases market uncertainty. With no additional rate cuts scheduled in the near term, investors will focus on the next FOMC meeting in January 2026.

Blockstream announces that its mobile wallet has completed a major upgrade, allowing users to trustlessly swap between the Lightning Network and Liquid Network via Boltz. This update enables users to pay Lightning invoices directly with Liquid Bitcoin (LBTC) without manually managing channels or maintaining inbound liquidity, further enhancing the smoothness and convenience of cross-layer Bitcoin network usage. According to Blockstream, this integration relies on Hash Time-Locked Contracts (HTLC), ensuring that all swaps are completed atomically: either all succeed or all are rolled back. If a transaction fails, funds will automatically be returned to the original wallet, with the entire process requiring no third-party custody, thereby increasing user fund security. Boltz, as a non-custodial swap service provider, is responsible for executing swaps between Lightning and Liquid, making the entire process efficient and trustless.

The bronze statue of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, was officially unveiled recently, standing outside the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This symbolic gesture is seen as a significant milestone in the development of cryptocurrency, marking the transition of digital assets from initial controversy and skepticism to formal acceptance by traditional financial institutions. The statue depicts Satoshi Nakamoto sitting in front of a computer, holding a notebook, symbolizing the anonymous creator behind Bitcoin, technological innovation, and the spirit of decentralization. Placing the statue outside the NYSE is highly meaningful; it directly links cryptocurrencies with the traditional financial system and sends a message to global investors: digital assets have become an important force that cannot be ignored in the global financial markets.
