📌 Breed VC: Most companies with BTC on their balance sheets may not survive the 'death spiral'
In 2025, the strategy of holding bitcoin in corporate reserves is gaining popularity among companies. But Breed VC analysts believe that for many, this will end in disaster.
What is the 'death spiral'?
Decline in BTC price → decrease in company capitalization → difficulties in attracting investments → margin calls → forced sale of BTC → even deeper decline.
◾️ Those who combine sound management, strategic discipline, and growth in BTC per share, even in unfavorable conditions, will survive.
◾️ For now, the situation is mitigated by the fact that most purchases are financed through stock issuance rather than debt.
◾️ But if debt financing begins to prevail — the market risks sliding into a new bear cycle.
Today, BTC is already on the balance sheet of more than 250 entities — from corporations and funds to ETFs and government institutions.

💵 Why is Bitcoin rising now? Expert's opinion
The growth of $BTC is associated with several factors, including the statement by the head of JPMorgan about allowing clients to invest in BTC.
💡 This decision by the largest bank (90 million users) may support the bullish trend in the market.
At the same time, there are other factors, for example, U.S. President Donald Trump continues to lobby for the Fed's move towards lowering the key interest rate.
🪐 The halving also has an impact: despite the drop of BTC to $70,000 in April 2025 due to trade wars, the reduction in supply on exchanges, as in previous cycles, stimulates price growth.

💵 The situation in the crypto market leans in favor of Bitcoin
The altcoin season index is only 28 — significantly below the threshold of 75 needed to start an altseason.
🏆 This confirms BTC's leadership and its outperformance compared to most altcoins.
BTC dominance remains at 61.7%, indicating capital consolidation around BTC.
📔 Network data supports this thesis:
⏺ The MVRV of short-term holders (1.09) indicates growth potential.
⏺ Long-term holders (LTH) are taking profits — SOPR reached 2.27, meaning sales with a profit of 227%.

💎 Ethereum surpasses Bitcoin
After the announcement of tariffs, both cryptocurrencies initially declined but then stabilized at levels of $103,000 and $2,400.
📊 Capital rotation is observed: dominance 24,942,307,680 fell below 63%, and altcoins, especially ETH, are starting to outperform.
Analysts at QCP Capital note the conflicting position of Bitcoin between the status of "digital gold" and a risky asset, which hinders a clear trend.
💡 At the same time, Ethereum shows a clearer dynamic: neutral funding and growth above $2,400 amid the Pectra update.
The renewed interest in long-term ETH options may signal a capital inflow.

🚀 BNB rose by 10% after CZ's proposal to reduce fees on the BSC network
The price of Binance Coin reached $642.92 for the week, gaining over 10% in a day. The increase followed Changpeng Zhao's proposal to cut fees on Binance Smart Chain by 90%.
↗️ Technical analysis:
🟡On the 4-hour chart, BNB broke the resistance level with a volume of 34,190 BNB.
🟡The 50-day EMA ($607.82) confirms the bullish trend.
🟡The RSI index (78.42) has entered the overbought zone, indicating strong upward momentum.
CZ presented the Binance Evolution Proposal, suggesting to replace the current fee model for transactions with “blobs,” similar to Ethereum EIP-4844.
🪙 This could reduce the average fee from 0.005 BNB to 0.0005 BNB, increasing the competitiveness of BSC.
If the trend continues, the next target could be $700 — the last time the price reached this level was in early 2022. The final decision depends on the voting of BSC validators.
