In the next couple of weeks ALL wall street firms with Bitcoin exposure - AND treasury companies - will announce their unrealised loss for Q4 of 2025. When that FUD hits the news remember, almost all of them are in the green down to ~60k. It's end of the year "accounting magic". Once that's done watch how Bitcoin will magically do it's thing again.

I'll leave this here for now so I can get back to it later when their numbers drop.
