This is one of the best bear markets for bitcoin, says Anthony Pompliano

Summary
Anthony Pompliano argues Bitcoin's 25% drop is part of a normal four-year cycle, with shallower bear markets and on-chain metrics signaling a bottom. He addresses concerns about leveraged entities, highlighting Strategy's dollar reserves as a risk mitigant, and reiterates the long-term case for Bitcoin and gold as debasement hedges.
- Bitcoin's four-year cycle pattern remains intact with a drawdown from the October peak.
- On-chain metrics (underwater vs. in-profit coins) historically indicate a bear market bottom.
- Bear markets are getting shallower; the current one lacks the traditional 80% crash.
- Strategy (MicroStrategy) has dollar reserves to cover dividends without selling Bitcoin, reducing forced-sale risk.
- Short-term headwinds exist from no rate cuts, but long-term conviction is driven by dollar debasement.
- Gold and Bitcoin are both positioned to benefit from continued fiscal expansion and money printing.
Ideas
Bitcoin bear market bottom near, accumulate
Bitcoin's four-year cycle is real and the current drawdown from the October peak aligns with that cycle. Bear markets are getting shallower and metrics like the percent of Bitcoin held underwater now exceeding the percent in profit historically signal we are near a bear market bottom. Bitcoiners are starting to accumulate.
Strategy's dollar reserves reduce sell risk
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) holds dollar reserves that can cover dividends without selling Bitcoin, reducing forced-sale risk and providing more comfort to holders compared to leveraged entities that hold only Bitcoin.
Bitcoin and gold win from dollar debasement
Despite short-term headwinds from delayed rate cuts, the government's rising national debt and undisciplined fiscal policy will continue to debase the dollar. Over the long term, hard assets like Bitcoin and gold will perform very well as protection against dollar debasement.
