Strategy, the publicly traded company that holds more Bitcoin than almost anyone, just sold some of its Bitcoin for the first time in four years. At the same time, investors have pulled nearly $3 billion out of Bitcoin funds in just 10 days — the biggest wave of selling in 2026.

## Idea

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has been the loudest corporate Bitcoin bull for years, buying at every dip. When they switch from buying to selling, it's a major shift in conviction that the broader market pays attention to. Add to that nearly $3 billion yanked from Bitcoin ETFs in 10 days and year-to-date inflows turning negative — institutional money is clearly heading for the exits. That kind of sustained, coordinated selling pressure has historically preceded deeper drawdowns in crypto.
