Summary

Fernando Ulrich analyzes the sharp Bitcoin drawdown, reviewing and dismissing several explanations such as regulation, Epstein-related news, Basel rules, and quantum computing. He argues the main driver is Bitcoin's financialization and leverage, while the halving cycle still points to a bear market that may not be over and a possible bottom around October 2026. He maintains a long-term bullish view on Bitcoin, citing MVRV near 1 as an attractive entry signal, and explains why Strategy and OranjeBTC have low forced-liquidation risk.

  • Bitcoin fell sharply amid extreme volatility in precious metals and signs of stress in market plumbing.
  • Regulation, Epstein-related news, Basel rules, and quantum computing are dismissed as weak or secondary causes.
  • Financialization, leverage, ETFs, and derivatives are identified as the main amplifiers of the recent crash.
  • The four-year halving cycle still appears intact, suggesting the bear market may not be over and the bottom could be lower and later.
  • MVRV near 1 is presented as historically an excellent medium/long-term Bitcoin entry signal.
  • Strategy's liquidation risk is assessed as very low due to convertible debt terms, maturities, and cash buffer.
  • Ulrich remains long-term positive on Bitcoin and is an advisor/investor in OranjeBTC due to its low-leverage treasury strategy.
  • He advises avoiding leverage and forced selling in Bitcoin allocations.
Ideas

Precious metals show abnormal plumbing-stress volatility.
Gold, silver, and platinum are showing historically extreme volatility: gold fell about 21% from its record top in days and silver almost 40%, with volatility comparable to Bitcoin. This is abnormal for precious metals and suggests stress in financial-market plumbing, possibly linked to a yen carry-trade unwind, making it a macro-risk setup to monitor.

Strategy liquidation risk is very low.
Strategy is very unlikely to be liquidated: its convertible debt prospectuses show no immediate margin call if Bitcoin falls; major cash maturities are in 2027-2028; Bitcoin would need to fall to around $15,000 and stay there for four years to force repayment; it also raised over $2bn in cash. The market's insolvency fear is overdone.

Bitcoin fundamentals intact, long-term reserve candidate.
Despite the ~50% drawdown, Bitcoin's protocol fundamentals are unchanged: it remains the most decentralized scarce digital commodity and the leading candidate for a digital reserve of value this century, potentially taking share from gold over time. He remains intellectually all-in on the technology and stresses avoiding leverage and forced selling.

OranjeBTC offers low-leverage Bitcoin treasury exposure.
He is an advisor and investor in OranjeBTC because it implements the Bitcoin treasury-company model prudently: very low leverage, low fixed costs, a solid balance sheet, and founders/managers experienced through prior Bitcoin cycles, positioning it to survive a deep bear market without forced selling.
