Will Clemente explains why he flipped bullish on Bitcoin in early August after seller exhaustion and priced-in risks around quantum fears and the Saylor/STRC overhang. He frames Bitcoin and gold as long-term hard-asset debasement hedges amid US fiscal stress and financial repression, and discusses a small Zcash privacy/beta position. He also highlights 30-year Treasury yields and USD/JPY as macro levels that could force policy action and cause volatility events.
- Will's August 8 note argued Bitcoin's risk/reward had improved as major concerns were already widely known.
- He saw seller exhaustion as more important than immediate new buying catalysts.
- Broader crypto supply/demand improved from project buybacks and reduced new supply.
- He holds Bitcoin and gold as debasement hedges against US debt and financial repression.
- He has a small Zcash position as a privacy/Bitcoin-beta hedge but keeps core BTC spot.
- Key macro triggers to watch are US 30-year yields and USD/JPY near levels that could force BOJ Treasury selling.

Bitcoin sellers exhausted, asymmetric spot long
He flipped bullish on Bitcoin in early August because the major risks that caused underperformance—quantum fears and the Saylor/STRC DAT overhang—had become widely known and largely priced after a 70% gold-terms drawdown. Saylor showed a path to remediating the overhang by selling Bitcoin to buy back STRC, sentiment was extremely negative, and he concluded sellers were exhausted, creating an asymmetric spot buying opportunity.
Crypto supply/demand is shifting more favorable
A year ago crypto suffered from too much new supply and few buybacks, but now many revenue-generating projects are buying back tokens or distributing revenue to holders while new project supply remains depressed, making the broad crypto supply/demand setup more interesting.
Small Zcash position as Bitcoin beta/privacy hedge
He took a small personal Zcash position as potential beta to Bitcoin and a hedge against increasing centralization/privacy pressure; he likes the Zcash-to-Bitcoin chart but would not replace his long-term Bitcoin spot holdings with it.
Hold Bitcoin and gold as debasement hedges
With US debt pressures likely forcing some form of financial repression—yield pegging or inflation running above borrowing costs—and historical precedents such as 1933 gold seizure, he wants to hold Bitcoin as a pure monetary debasement hedge long term alongside gold, expecting hard assets to appreciate before any potential seizure or control.
Watch 30-year yields and USD/JPY triggers
US 30-year yields and USD/JPY are near levels that can force policy action; if yields keep rising or the BOJ must defend the yen, the BOJ may sell US Treasuries, creating volatility events that could spill into Bitcoin and other risk assets, so these levels are important to monitor.
