Standard Chartered Bank: 61 Listed Companies Hold 673,800 Bitcoins, If Price Falls Below Average Holding Price by 22% or Triggers Corporate Sell-off Risk

2025.06.03 22:16:21

On June 3rd, as per a CoinDesk report, Geoff Kendrick, the Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, declared that currently, 61 publicly listed companies jointly possess 673,800 bitcoins (accounting for 3.2% of the total supply). In the event that the Bitcoin price drops below the average purchase price by 22%, it might lead to forced selling by corporations. The report indicated that MicroStrategy (MSTR) holds the largest share with 580,000 bitcoins. Referring to the precedent in 2022 when the Bitcoin mining firm Core Scientific was compelled to sell 7,202 bitcoins at a loss when the price fell below 22% of the cost basis, if Bitcoin goes below $90,000, half of the corporate holdings will be at risk of incurring losses. Although the current wave of corporate Bitcoin holdings has boosted buying pressure, it has also laid the foundation for potential selling pressure.

大摩:美股回调打开配置空间,强劲盈利支撑周期股吸引力

,摩根士丹利策略师表示,自初夏以来美股估值大幅回落,在盈利增长依然强劲的背景下,部分市场板块的投资吸引力正在提升。Michael Wilson 带领的团队表示,此轮回调幅度已为与经济周期相关、基本面前景依然稳健的行业创造了「更好的投资环境」。其中,资本品板块尤为突出,其盈利预期上调情况位居各行业前列。Wilson 周一在一份报告中表示:「近期估值下修后,部分重资产板块开始显得更具吸引力。」自 8 月中旬以来,美股涨势有所放缓。不断攀升的债券收益率抵消了强劲财报季带来的提振,而企业未来几周开始公布第三季度业绩,市场预计盈利仍将保持强劲。彭博情报数据显示,分析师预计标普 500 指数成份股第三季度盈利同比增长 25%,此前第二季度已增长 34%。人工智能需求、云计算巨头创纪录的资本支出以及强劲的宏观经济环境推动了盈利增长。

Bank of America raises Coinbase price target from $174 to $203

Bank of America raised Coinbase’s price target from $174 to $203 and reaffirmed its "Buy" rating. The lender expects stablecoin revenue to grow further following the Federal Reserve’s September interest rate hike, prompting it to lift Coinbase’s 2027 and 2028 earnings per share (EPS) forecasts. However, due to weak cryptocurrency trading volumes, Bank of America lowered Coinbase’s near-term performance outlook, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum rose 43% and 70% respectively in the third quarter.

Metaplanet Announces Net Addition of 1,000 BTC in Q3, Bringing Total Holdings to 44,000 BTC

Metaplanet Inc. announced it added a net 1,000 Bitcoin (BTC) to its holdings in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the group’s total Bitcoin holdings stood at 44,000 coins. During the quarter, the group also completed a Bitcoin sale-and-repurchase transaction to demonstrate its ability to convert Bitcoin positions into cash. The move is intended to strengthen market confidence in the company’s credit profile and broaden future financing channels—including corporate bond and preferred stock issuances—with the ultimate aim of further expanding the group’s Bitcoin holdings. Specifically, the group sold 10,000 BTC and repurchased 11,000 BTC during the period, leading to a net 1,000 BTC increase in its Bitcoin holdings.

QCP:比特币站稳8.72万美元才有望打开上行空间

QCP Capital stated in a report that the macro narrative has shifted significantly over the past three weeks, with the market moving from previously pricing in a Federal Reserve rate hike in October to a scenario where rate hike expectations have largely faded, and rates are expected to remain unchanged. September non-farm payrolls rose by only 29,000, far below the 84,000 forecast, while the unemployment rate climbed to 4.2% and year-on-year wage growth slowed to 3.0%—the lowest level since May 2021. The three-month average of new employment dropped to 50,700, roughly one-third of the level a year ago, pushing the probability of an October rate hike down to 22%. However, driven by U.S. Treasury supply and term premium factors, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield remains as high as 5.25%. In the crypto market, Bitcoin needs to hold above $87,200 to confirm the next upward move, while Ethereum is trading around $2,725 within the $2,650-$2,800 range, with an overall cautiously bullish trend. The Fed meeting minutes to be released this Wednesday will be a key catalyst; markets will watch whether previous hawkish dissents reflect the Fed’s actual stance. Additionally, the TOKEN2049 Singapore Conference and the October 14 CPI data are also worth monitoring.
