Inside Stretch: New Analysis Details How Strategy Manages Its Novel Debt Instrument

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley took a contrarian view to the prevailing crypto 
investor sentiment, which dropped to a six-month low on Saturday.

Crypto’s long-term fundamentals strong despite market rout — Bitwise CEO

Bitcoin’s latest downturn has caused considerable speculation about whether 
Strategy’s (formerly known as MicroStrategy) massive holdings are playing a 
role in the market’s weakness. The concerns escalated sharply when wallet- 
monitoring platforms flagged large Bitcoin transfers linked to the company, 
sparking widespread claims that a major sell-off had begun. The conversation 
gained even more traction when a widely circulated report alleged that 
Strategy had slashed its Bitcoin holdings by tens of thousands of tokens. 
Michael Saylor moved quickly to address the rumor, but the back-and-forth 
between on-chain interpretations and official statements raises questions of 
what is really happening behind the scenes. Related Reading: XRP Earns

Movements Turned Into Full-Blown Sell-Off Rumors The controversy started when 
Walter Bloomberg shared a post citing Arkham Intelligence and claiming 
Strategy had reduced its Bitcoin stash from 484,000 BTC to roughly 437,000 
BTC. The alleged drop of about 47,000 BTC immediately led to questions as to 
whether the company had quietly begun liquidating. Saylor responded directly 
beneath the post, stating, “There is no truth to this rumor,” dismissing the 
claim outright. There is no truth to this rumor. — Michael Saylor (@saylor) 
November 14, 2025 As the situation spread across social platforms, Arkham 
Intelligence later clarified what actually happened. In a post on X, the firm 
explained that Strategy had moved 43,415 BTC since midnight UTC, worth over 
$4.2 billion, but also noted that the activity consisted of routine custodian 
rotations. According to Arkham, the transfers were due to movement from 
Coinbase Custody to a new custodian, along with internal rebalancing and 
wallet refresh processes. None of the movements indicated sales and that 
Strategy frequently performs these custodial transitions. Anyone tracking 
these wallet clusters over the past two weeks would have seen similar flows, 
eventually followed by relabeling once new addresses were established. 
Saylor’s Public Reassurance And Continued Bitcoin Accumulation In response to 
the swirling speculation, Saylor took a definitive stance to calm markets. 
While speaking at an interview on CNBC, Saylor addressed the controversy, 
stating that Strategy had not sold any Bitcoin and had no plans to do so. His 
remarks left no ambiguity as he said, “We are buying; we’ll report our next 
buys on Monday morning.” He went further to describe the company’s financial 
position and long-term confidence, noting that the firm has put in a very 
strong base around here with its Bitcoin holdings. Saylor also highlighted 
that Strategy’s debt structure does not impose immediate obligations, saying 
the debt is still “4.5 years out.” This means there is currently no financial 
pressure that would require liquidation of Bitcoin. Related Reading: Crypto

after the interview, he reinforced his message on X, stating plainly, “We 
bought bitcoin every day this week,” which directly contradicts any claims of 
ongoing sell pressure from Strategy. In terms of price action, Bitcoin has 
spent most of this week on a downtrend, which now puts its price trading below 
$100,000. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $96,084. Featured

Double Bottom or Double Trouble? XRP Inches Toward a Decisive Move

According to CryptoWzrd’s latest XRP daily technical outlook, XRPBTC ended the 
day with a strong bullish close. This renewed strength in the pair could give 
XRP the momentum it needs to push toward the $2.75 resistance level and 
potentially extend even higher. Daily Sentiment Mirrors Bitcoin As XRP Closes 
Slightly Bearish The analysis from CryptoWzrd notes that XRP’s daily candle 
was in alignment with Bitcoin’s broader market sentiment and closed slightly 
bearish. This reflects the continued pressure from Bitcoin, which remains a 
key driver of overall market direction. Despite this bearish close, the XRPBTC 
pair showed strength by ending the day bullish, signaling a potential shift in 
momentum. Related Reading: XRP Price Correction Is Far From Over: Bearish 
Divergence Signals Potential Revisit To $2.05 A continued push higher could 
drive the pair above the daily lower-high trendline, triggering a more 
impulsive price reaction. If this breakout materializes, it opens the door for 
XRP to advance toward the $2.75 resistance region, a level that has now become 
the next major target for bullish traders. However, Bitcoin’s influence 
remains a critical factor. Any renewed weakness or sharp downside movement 
from BTC could easily spill into XRP’s price action. In such a scenario, XRP 
may find itself retreating toward the $2 support zone, which stands as the 
next meaningful level of defense if bearish pressure intensifies. CryptoWzrd 
added that tomorrow’s focus will shift primarily to developments on the lower- 
time-frame charts. Short-term structure and intraday reactions will be key to 
spotting potential scalp opportunities. Choppy Intraday Action Signals Market 
Indecision The analyst observed that XRP’s intraday price action remained 
relatively choppy, with the market trading within a narrow range. This kind of 
movement suggests that traders are still waiting for a clearer signal before 
committing to a strong directional bias. Related Reading: XRP Price Sees 
Bullish Move, Can Buyers Protect Upside Levels? A key level to watch on the 
intraday chart is the $2.408 resistance. According to the analysis, a clean 
move above this threshold could unlock further upside momentum, creating 
favorable long opportunities as buyers regain control. Such a breakout would 
signal growing confidence and potentially shift short-term sentiment in XRP’s 
favor. However, if the price reacts bearishly at that same resistance zone, a 
rejection from $2.408 would present a short opportunity, indicating that 
sellers are still protecting that level. This scenario would likely reinforce 
intraday weakness and keep XRP confined within its current structure. The 
analyst also warned that any drop below the $2.2550 support level would push 
the market into a fragile zone where further declines become more probable. 
For now, patience is essential, as traders must wait for a more mature and 
organized intraday structure before taking aggressive positions. Featured
