π BTC Dominance Hits 4-Year High at 58%
Bitcoin's market dominance has reached 58%, the highest level in four years! If the BTC cycle remains intact, this suggests we haven't yet seen a proper altcoin season, where alts take the lead. This could also mean the bear market is still far off. π§
According to CryptoQuant's CEO, this altseason might not follow the usual pattern. Instead, tokens linked to ETF filings or strong tech fundamentals could outperform, while others may not survive long enough. π€·

Could Strategy (MSTR) Go Bankrupt? π
Unlikely.
MSTR's debt stands at $8.2 billion, while its BTC holdings total $43.4 billion. This gives them a leverage ratio of 19%. π΅
With only $5 billion of BTC below the conversion price, the effective leverage ratio is even lower, around 11.5%.
For MSTR to become insolvent, BTC would need to drop 80-90% from its current priceβan unlikely scenario. π
Additionally, none of MSTR's debt is due until 2028, so the company's financial position remains stable. βοΈ
In short, bankruptcy is not a concern for now.
