Investors have pulled $3.4 billion out of Bitcoin ETFs over 11 straight days — the longest selling streak since the funds launched. Meanwhile, the Mt. Gox bankruptcy estate just moved $739 million worth of Bitcoin to new wallets, which often signals they're about to distribute coins to creditors who will likely sell.

## Idea

Three separate selling forces are hitting Bitcoin at the same time. First, institutional money is draining out of Bitcoin ETFs at a record pace — 11 straight days of outflows — and rotating into red-hot AI stocks instead. Second, the Mt. Gox estate is shuffling coins, which historically means creditors are about to receive Bitcoin they've waited years to sell. Third, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), one of Bitcoin's biggest corporate holders, just disclosed its first-ever Bitcoin sale. When this many sellers line up at once, the price usually keeps sliding before finding a floor.
