🚀 Bitcoin & HYPE Primed for Takeoff: U.S. Corporations Dump $844M into Crypto War Chests

Wall Street’s playing catch-up—again. While Main Street debated 'bubble or breakout,' U.S. firms quietly parked $844 million in crypto treasuries last quarter. Guess who’s late to the party?

Institutional FOMO hits hyperdrive

No more dipping toes—corporate balance sheets are diving headfirst into digital assets. Bitcoin’s the headline act, but altcoin allocations suggest even suits crave moonshots.

Treasury 2.0: From bonds to blockchain

Forget 0.5% yields. CFOs now juggle cold storage and staking APY—while auditors hyperventilate. (Pro tip: Try explaining memecoins to your board without laughing.)

This isn’t 2021’s retail frenzy. These bets come with compliance teams, tax strategists, and—irony alert—risk management frameworks thicker than the Bitcoin white paper.

The closer: When pension funds start apeing into shitcoins, maybe—just maybe—we’ll admit crypto’s gone full mainstream. Until then? Enjoy watching bankers try to pronounce 'Shiba Inu.'

Institutional moves signal bigger bets

The gradual increase in Open Interest coincided with companies probably hedging or positioning themselves in BTC and other newer instruments, such as HYPE.

The movements could be followed by increased volatility and directional momentum thanks to the institutional liquidity.

BTC and HYPE now sit at the intersection of treasury capital and high-beta trading strategies. In short, they may become core plays in this liquidity expansion phase.

Whale positioning on BTC & HYPE

On-chain data showed aggressive accumulation from whale addresses across HYPE and BTC.

Address 0x55 purchased 59,719 HYPE worth $2.31 M at the price of $38.68. Address 0xe6 also bought 53,645 HYPE at the rate of $39.30, spending $2.11M.

Moreover, “0x26” purchased 37,160 HYPE at the price of $40.70, investing $1.51M, as well as opening Leveraged longs – on HYPE 10x and on Bitcoin 20x.

These actions implied the increased certainty regarding the growth in both of these assets.

The high level of purchases, combined with using leverage, was a sign of positive momentum in the future.

This was especially in the case of extending a positive mood on the whole market towards crypto treasuries and altcoin liquidity.

Caution from price sparks profit-taking

Technically, the price action of HYPE was still extremely healthy. Despite the aggressive whale inflows, HYPE showed a mild weekly bearish RSI divergence on the chart.

This project emerged as the top non-meme coin of the cycle. After surpassing last year’s high, the market structure held steady, despite a mild weekly bearish RSI divergence.

Although the RSI suggested a possible cooling-off period, the fundamentals remained bullish, particularly with ongoing buybacks absorbing hundreds of millions.

Nonetheless, caution was advised.

One whale exits—but not without bagging millions

On that note, a single whale did a big dump by unstaking and selling 126,772 HYPE worth $5.31M at a price of $42.

This earned them profits of $2.89M.

It wasn’t panic-selling—it looked more like surgical profit-taking at a zone of strength.

That said, shorting remains risky in a trend leader like HYPE. For now, this may just be a cooldown—unless follow-up selling deepens.

Despite the technical explanation showing the potential consolidation in the NEAR future, the whales seemed to equally balance exits and re-entries around strength zones.
