Their selling strategy and immense <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/learn\/crypto\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a> reserves are creating a <strong>substantial need for new capital<\/strong> to drive prices back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Why is BTC moving up so slowly this cycle?<br><br>BTC supply is concentrated around OG whales who peaked their holdings in 2011 (orange and dark orange).<br><br>They bought their BTC at $10 or lower.

For now, Michael Saylor and other companies like MetaPlanet have been absorbing these sales.

This sudden operation triggered a cascade of sell orders, causing a <strong>Bitcoin flash crash<\/strong> of more than <strong>2%<\/strong> in less than <strong>10 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The whale who just recently sold $1B+ of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$BTC<\/a> and rotated into <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> has now started to close some of their $250M+ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$ETH<\/a> long position (across multiple wallets).<br><br>Holding 100,000 bitcoin for 7+ years just to rotate into ethereum for a quick swing trade is a crazy strategy. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RHy4MIyCYU\">pic.twitter.com\/RHy4MIyCYU<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Satoshi Stacker (@StackerSatoshi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StackerSatoshi\/status\/1959723894983491990?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This whale not only sold a large portion of their BTC but also strategically converted most of it to <a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/ethereum\/\">ETH<\/a>, positioning their trades to anticipate and profit from market movements.
