不是比特币崩了,是储币模式被清算

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in Bitcoin prices from approximately $125,000 to around $84,000 is attributed to a combination of macroeconomic factors and significant changes in the regulatory landscape, particularly concerning companies heavily invested in Bitcoin, such as Strategy Inc. [5][7][42] Group 1: Bitcoin Price Movement - Bitcoin reached a historical high of approximately $125,000 on October 6, 2025, before experiencing a decline to about $84,000 by late November, marking a maximum drawdown of nearly 30% [5][13]. - The decline is characterized as a typical "high position correction," influenced by cooling interest rate expectations, overall risk asset declines, and a shift from net inflows to net outflows in ETF investments [7][8]. Group 2: Strategy Inc. Overview - Strategy Inc., formerly known as MicroStrategy, has transformed from a software company into a Bitcoin fund, holding 649,870 Bitcoins with a total purchase cost of approximately $48.37 billion and an average purchase price of about $74,433 per Bitcoin [9][13]. - The market value of these holdings is estimated to be between $54 billion and $56 billion, representing about 3% of the total global Bitcoin supply [14]. Group 3: Financial Strategy and Market Dynamics - Since August 2020, Strategy has engaged in a "reflexive cycle" by using cash to purchase Bitcoin, which subsequently increased its net asset value and stock price, allowing for further stock issuance to buy more Bitcoin [17][18]. - This cycle has been successful, with Bitcoin holdings increasing from over 20,000 to over 640,000, and the company's market capitalization peaking near $60 billion [22]. Group 4: MSCI's Regulatory Impact - MSCI has initiated a consultation regarding how to classify companies like Strategy that hold a significant amount of digital assets, suggesting that if digital assets exceed 50% of total assets, these companies should be treated as investment funds rather than operating companies [25][27]. - The consultation period ends on December 31, 2025, with a decision expected to take effect on January 15, 2026, potentially leading to the exclusion of such companies from major stock indices [28][32]. Group 5: Market Reactions and Future Implications - If MSCI decides to exclude Strategy from its indices, passive funds tracking MSCI could be forced to sell approximately $2.8 billion worth of Strategy stock, with total potential sell pressure reaching around $8.8 billion if other index providers follow suit [34][35]. - The market has already begun to react, with the market-to-net asset value (mNAV) ratio for Strategy dropping from a peak of 2.5 to around 1.1, indicating a significant reduction in the premium investors are willing to pay for the stock [39][41].
