BTC Floor Shaky as Strategy Hoards Most Demand

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding at the $60,000–$70,000 range for new buyers, but accumulation remains thin compared with historical recovery clusters. 

Strategy, a major institutional buyer, acquired roughly 45,000 BTC over the past month, 76% of all reserve holdings, while purchases by other institutions collapsed. 

The combination of fragile support and concentrated demand raises the risk of sharp price moves if BTC falls below the current cost basis.

Glassnode data shows BTC supply is clustering at the lower bound of new buyers’ cost basis, but the cluster is significantly thinner than prior historical analogs that preceded strong recoveries. 

Analysts note the setup is constructive in structure, yet lacks magnitude, leaving the $60K–$70K floor vulnerable. 

Market participants on X warned that any slip below this range could push recent buyers underwater quickly, triggering a rapid liquidity flush. Consolidation around the current cost basis may be needed before a more robust support level develops.

Meanwhile, on-chain analytics from CryptoQuant report that Strategy has driven institutional reserve demand, purchasing roughly 45,000 BTC in the past 30 days—the fastest accumulation in nearly a year. 

By comparison, non-Strategy companies’ purchases fell to approximately 1,000 BTC, a 99% decline from peak levels, representing just 2% of total institutional demand. 

The number of active buyers among other companies dropped to 13 from a previous 54, signaling both waning participation and market concentration around Strategy’s holdings.

The US spot Bitcoin ETFs also lost about $296 million last week, including a $226 million one‑day withdrawal, mostly from BlackRock’s iShares, dropping total assets from $90 billion to $84.8 billion.

Because accumulation is thin and most institutional demand is concentrated in Strategy, BTC is more vulnerable to a drop. If it falls below $60K–$70K, prices could move sharply, and the market may need more sideways trading to build a solid base.
