A staggering 77% of corporate Bitcoin portfolios are now in the red as the flagship cryptocurrency struggles to regain momentum, trading around $70K. With prices down sharply from a $120K peak, institutional investors face mounting pressure. Analysts warn that persistent bearish sentiment and geopolitical volatility are stifling a sustained breakout, leaving the market questioning when Bitcoin will stage its next major rally.

Bitcoin is down significantly from its earlier ATH of $120K, drowning the corporates in losses at the moment. BTC is down by nearly 14% in the last year, bringing skepticism back into the sector. In addition to this, the price of BTC is doing its best to stabilize, emerging as a safe haven for many, as retail demand is trying its best to amp up the asset. However, the current Bitcoin price outlook is not suitable for its corporate holders, ushering in a significant spree of losses for the holders to take charge of.

Per a recent report by Crypto Patel, nearly 77% of Bitcoin treasury companies are currently at a loss, holding their BTC at lower prices. For instance, the estimated BTC entry point for MSTR was $75K, with Metaplanet and Semler at $97K and 65K, respectively.
