Strategy and Bitmine are accumulating Bitcoin and Ethereum through the drawdown, but Friday's CPI and unresolved Iran talks will determine whether on-chain support holds.

Key Takeaways
Strategy brought its total holdings to 766,970 BTC.Bitmine uplisted to the NYSE on April 9, holding 3.98% of total ETH supply .Analyst identifies $63,111 as the first major support cluster for BTC.Bitwise CIO argues Bitcoin needs only 15% of the store-of-value market by 2035 to reach $1 million.CPI, Fed rate expectations, and U.S.-Iran talks will determine whether current support hold.
Strategy acquired 4,871 BTC at an average price of $67,718 between March 31 and April 5, a total of $329.9 million. The company now holds 766,970 BTC, accumulated at a total cost of $58.02 billion, averaging $75,644 per coin.
At current prices, that position is underwater but Strategy is not selling.
That detail matters more than the purchase size. A company that has spent $58 billion on a single asset and continues buying through a drawdown is not making a trading decision. It is making a structural bet that current prices are irrelevant to where Bitcoin trades in three to five years.
Bitmine is making a parallel bet on Ethereum. According to official press release, the company currently holds 3,334,637 staked ETH, 3.98% of the total ETH supply, valued at $7.1 billion. Total holdings including cash reach $11.4 billion. No publicly listed company outside of Ethereum's own foundation controls a comparable share of the network's supply. That concentration gives Bitmine direct exposure to Ethereum's staking yield and long-term price trajectory in a way that few institutional vehicles currently offer.
Both companies are accumulating through uncertainty. The question is whether the on-chain data supports their timing, and what the actual floor looks like from here.
What On-Chain Analysis Shows
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez published a seven-part thread on April 6 mapping Bitcoin's high-probability support zones using multiple on-chain metrics. His conclusion: the market has not bottomed, but the data shows exactly where structural support sits, and how far the worst-case scenario extends.
His starting point is URPD data, which maps where every Bitcoin last changed hands. A dense cluster of holders bought between $70,685 and $63,111. That cluster represents millions of market participants with a direct cost-basis incentive to defend rather than sell at current levels. According to Martinez, $63,111 is where that defense becomes structural.

Below it, he points to a long-term trendline that has held for nearly a decade, currently sitting between $56,000 and $60,000. The historical record is consistent: every time Bitcoin approached this line, in 2017, 2018, 2020, and 2022, the subsequent recovery produced gains between 261% and 1,126%. That line is being approached again now. These two levels are where the near-term case either holds or breaks.
If they don't hold, Ali Martinez identifies the next meaningful floor at $47,000–$49,000, defined by two metrics: the Long-Term Holder Realized Price at $49,387 and the CVDD at $47,960. A sustained break below these levels would put the average LTH in loss for the first time this cycle, a condition that has preceded final capitulation before every major Bitcoin recovery in history.
The deepest level in his analysis is the MVRV 0.8 band at $43,647, the zone where, historically, sellers exhaust themselves and longer-term holders absorb supply. Below that, $36,657 marks the extreme downside: a structural reset rather than a typical correction.
Martinez is not calling a single bottom. He is distributing capital across these zones to catch a macro rebound without attempting to time one perfect entry. That approach reflects the honest read of the data: none of these levels is a guaranteed floor. Each one is a zone where the probability of a recovery increases, and where the risk-reward improves for those with a longer time horizon.
That longer time horizon is precisely what makes the institutional behavior this week coherent.
Why Institutions Are Still Buying
The on-chain levels Martinez identifies explain where the risk sits. They do not fully explain why Strategy and Bitmine are accumulating through it. For that, the longer-duration argument matters.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan laid out the logic in March. The global store-of-value market, gold, sovereign bonds, real estate held as savings, is approximately $40 trillion and expanding, driven in part by rising government debt that erodes confidence in fiat-denominated assets. Bitcoin currently holds roughly 4% of that market.

Reaching 15% dominance by 2035, without the total market growing at all, implies a price of $1 million per coin.
The math does not require a speculative assumption. It requires Bitcoin to continue doing what it has done over the past decade: absorb a growing share of capital that has historically flowed into gold and sovereign debt. Government debt is not shrinking. Institutional access to Bitcoin is expanding. Those two conditions are what make accumulation rational at prices that feel uncomfortable in the short term.
Strategy's purchase below its own cost basis and Bitmine's growing share of Ethereum's supply are not contradictions of the current market weakness. They are expressions of confidence that the Hougan framework is directionally correct, and that the current price level is a point on the way to something larger, not a ceiling.
Two Scenarios and What Decides Between Them
The data points in two directions simultaneously. The macro calendar will determine which one plays out.
The constructive case: U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks might advance toward a formal framework. Oil prices ease. Friday's CPI comes in below the 0.9% monthly forecast, reducing annual inflation expectations. The Fed's rate-hold stance softens. Risk appetite recovers, the dollar pulls back, and Bitcoin holds above $63,111, the first support cluster Martinez identifies. Institutional accumulation at these levels is later understood as early-cycle positioning. The decade-long trendline between $56,000 and $60,000 is never tested.The adverse case: Ceasefire talks stall or collapse, a realistic outcome given that no agreement has been confirmed and negotiations remain at a preliminary stage. Oil price stays elevated. CPI prints at or above forecast, pushing the annual rate toward 3.4%. The Fed signals rates stay higher for longer. The dollar strengthens, equity markets sell off, and Bitcoin loses the $63,111 support cluster. The $56,000–$60,000 trendline the analyst identifies as decade-long support becomes the next test. If that fails, the $47,000–$49,000 zone, where long-term holders move into aggregate loss, comes into focus. That scenario does not invalidate the long-term thesis. It extends the timeline and increases the pain before the recovery.What the data currently suggests: The weight of on-chain evidence leans toward the constructive case, but only marginally, and only while $63,111 holds. Institutional buying at these levels has historically preceded recoveries rather than further declines. Long-term holder behavior remains consistent with accumulation, not distribution. The identified trendline support has not broken in nearly a decade. None of that guarantees a floor here. But it does mean the risk-reward at current prices is different from what headline sentiment suggests.
The single variable that overrides the on-chain picture is macro. A hot CPI print combined with a geopolitical escalation removes the two conditions, easing inflation and reduced risk premium, that the constructive case depends on entirely. That is what Friday's data will clarify.
The Bigger Picture
Bitcoin is not in freefall. It is caught between institutional demand at current levels and macro conditions that have not yet confirmed a direction. Strategy's continued accumulation below its own cost basis, Bitmine's growing share of Ethereum's supply, the identification of structural on-chain support, and Hougan's store-of-value framework all point in the same direction over a longer time horizon.
What those signals cannot do is override a macro environment where inflation remains above target, rate cuts have been pushed further out, and a geopolitical situation with direct implications for energy prices remains unresolved. The ceasefire talks between the U.S. and Iran which helped Bitcoin to jump above $69,000 today - if they progress - remove one of the most immediate sources of upward pressure on oil and, by extension, on CPI. If they don't, that pressure remains and the Fed's room to pivot narrows further.
The long-term case for Bitcoin is not determined by this week. The near-term path, however, runs directly through Friday's inflation data, and the outcome will tell the market whether the floor that institutions and on-chain metrics are pointing to is about to be tested, or whether the conditions for the next leg higher are quietly falling into place.

Ethereum faktycznie wyszedł z kanału spadkowego... ale to właśnie ten punkt jest tym, w którym większość traderów się myli. Sam złamanie nie jest sygnałem wzrostu... ale początkiem etapu ponownego umiejscowienia po zakończeniu presji sprzedażowej.
Dno zostało ustalone na poziomie 1,860 - 1,910, a ten obszar nie jest zwykłym wsparciem, ale wyraźnie bronionym obszarem popytu po zorganizowanej serii spadków. Stamtąd rynek zaczął się poruszać w górę, ale teraz znajduje się w okolicach 2,060 - 2,080 w wąskim zakresie, co oznacza, że mamy do czynienia z kompresją tuż po złamaniu.

Przygotujcie się, ponieważ gra zmieniła się całkowicie. Nie mówimy już o "testach laboratoryjnych" ani symulacjach bez rzeczywistej wartości. Europa zrobiła ogromny krok i ocenia Ethereum jako ostateczną warstwę rozliczeniową dla Euro Cyfrowego i stablecoinów o dużej wadze!
Kontynent europejski patrzy na jedną z najbardziej znanych sieci blockchain na świecie i mówi: "Tak, to może być fundament naszej gospodarki." To monumentalne!
Po raz pierwszy publiczne blockchainy są traktowane poważnie do transakcji na poziomie rządowym. To bezpieczeństwo i przejrzystość kodu zastępuje wolne biurokracje.
