Recently, the performance of Bitcoin and Ethereum has made the market a bit dull. The two leading cryptocurrencies have respectively fallen below $90,000 and $3,000, and the market has entered a consolidation phase. Interestingly, while many are watching on the sidelines, institutions are actually increasing their positions. MicroStrategy spent $2.1 billion to buy 22,305 Bitcoins in the past week, setting the largest single-week trading record in over a year. Now, their Bitcoin holdings have exceeded 700,000 coins.

Another event in the crypto world has also attracted attention—a Bitcoin whale that has been dormant for 13 years suddenly transferred $85 million worth of Bitcoin, with the specific purpose still a mystery. At the Davos Forum, the CEO of a compliant platform was discussing the U.S. cryptocurrency market structure bill with bank executives. This bill has been stalled for some time. The Treasury Department is also pushing forward with plans to expand strategic Bitcoin reserves. Additionally, it is worth noting that the Trump family’s wealth in crypto-related assets has increased by approximately $1.4 billion over the past year, which somewhat reflects the overall capital flow within the ecosystem.

MicroStrategy's move is truly brilliant; pouring 2.1 billion is a gamble on the future. Did the 13-year dormant whale move? What major event could this be? Retail investors are still watching the market, while big institutions have already jumped in—such a gap. The Trump family made 1.4 billion; no wonder the crypto world is so lively. Bottom consolidation is when institutions accumulate; those who understand are copying. The bill has been stuck for so long; the US is really a bit sluggish. 70 million Bitcoins are in MicroStrategy's hands; this amount of chips is quite formidable. The whale transferred $85 million, testing whether it's just a wallet check or really about to move. It seems the policy environment is indeed relaxing; otherwise, the Treasury wouldn't be pushing the reserve plan. When institutions increase their positions, retail investors are clearing out—an eternal cycle of the leek.

Institutions are bottom-fishing, retail investors are dazed, the gap is really outrageous. MicroStrategy's move is truly aggressive. The 13-year dormant whale has awakened. What intelligence did it get? Bills, reserves, the Trump family... all are playing chess, and we're still watching the K-line. During the consolidation phase, you should hold tight, or you'll miss another round. This rhythm feels like a major event is coming soon.

Maice is buying again. When will this pace end? The whale from 2013 has awakened. Is it going to dump or what? Trump family making so much money? The market hasn't even started yet... If the bill gets delayed further, we need to buy the dip even more. Institutions are buying while retail investors are fleeing. Contrarian strategies never go out of style. It's frustrating, but the movements of the giant whales are the real signals. 700,000 Bitcoins, is Maice planning to take over the market? $85 million transferred out, just thinking about it is terrifying. Could this consolidation be the calm before the big market move?

MicroStrategy疯狂扫货，我们还在纠结跌不跌，笑死 The whale that slept since 2013 has awakened, this is going to be a big deal Market consolidation, just let it be. Institutions have already been lurking at the bottom Trump family made 1.4 billion, we're still losing money, the gap is really big The bill has been stuck for so long, might as well just pass it directly 70 million Bitcoins in hand, MicroStrategy is really fierce 85 million per turn, there must be a big plan... The best time to buy is often during a stagnant market, can you tell? This wave of institutions is playing chess, retail investors are still watching the fun The Ministry of Finance is pushing strategic reserves, indicating confidence Whale movements = market barometer, better study it quickly If you haven't completed compliance, you want to do business? Get the bill sorted first
