Bitcoin is clinging to support at $60,000 while institutional money flees crypto at record rates. Now, one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders just announced it may sell over a billion dollars of its holdings, adding massive new selling pressure to an already weak market.

## Idea

Bitcoin is decoupling from the broader stock market recovery, sliding even as traditional equities bounce. With $4 billion already pulled from Bitcoin ETFs this month, the institutional demand has completely dried up. The announcement that Strategy is preparing to sell up to $1.25 billion of its Bitcoin reserves acts as a massive overhang on the market, signaling to retail traders that even the biggest bulls are looking for the exit.
