Crypto treasury firms, including MicroStrategy led by Michael Saylor, are liquidating Bitcoin holdings to offset declining stock prices amid falling cryptocurrency values, reports Financial Times.
This action underscores potential flaws in the reliance on crypto value appreciation and raises concerns about the sustainability of this business model.
Crypto Firms Liquidate Holdings Amidst Bear Market
Crypto treasury companies, once amassing digital assets, are now selling tokens to support tumbling stock prices. Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy, with its heavy Bitcoin holdings, leads the pack.
The decline in crypto prices has prompted companies to reevaluate their strategies, resulting in increased sell-offs affecting stock markets and broader market sentiment.

Bitcoin Market Trends Reflecting 2021–2022 Price Challenges
Did you know?
Bitcoin’s current challenges mirror the 2021–2022 bear market. That period also saw corporate treasuries under stress, driven by asset markdowns and forced liquidations.
Bitcoin, trading at $87,536.72, holds a market cap of 1.75 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. Despite a 0.72% daily drop, it rebounds slightly from prior lows. Current dominance is 57.92%, with a circulating supply of 19.95 million BTC.
Coincu analysts predict increasing regulatory scrutiny on treasury crypto holdings, potentially pressuring financial disclosures. Historical trends suggest ongoing volatility might influence governance and investment strategies within months.
