Public companies' Bitcoin holdings dilemma: 60% are floating losses, but institutions remain optimistic about growth in 2026

2025-12-18 22:40:10

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】I recently came across some data that was quite eye-opening. Tracking institutions’ statistics show that among publicly traded companies holding Bitcoin, about 60% are currently sitting on paper losses—their cost basis is still high, and the current price level just can’t bring relief.

Interestingly, however, these institutions still have some confidence in the future. They predict that by the end of 2026, the total amount of Bitcoin held by enterprises could increase from the current 670,000 to between 750,000 and 850,000 coins, a significant growth. What’s driving this increase? First, the promotion of digital credit products; second, large purchase orders. In plain terms, many institutions are still betting on this direction.

From this perspective, although many companies are under significant unrealized loss pressure right now, market participants still seem optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term allocation value. It remains to be seen how it will unfold.

Sixty percent unrealized losses? Laughing to death, this is why I never copy homework. Can it rise to 850,000 coins by 2026? Nonsense, the total amount of Bitcoin is just that much. It's just a typical psychological comfort of Tied Up investors. Do you really have to believe what institutions say? I think it's doubtful. No matter how much you brag, it can't change the fact that you're currently in a total mess.

Sixty percent unrealized loss... This is about to suffocate people alive, how can there still be someone willing to keep buying? --- Wait, can we turn things around by 2026? I just can't believe it. --- Being stuck at the high cost price is really uncomfortable, what kind of strong heart does it take to hold on? --- Can digital credit and large purchases really pull so much? I doubt it. --- Anyway, I don't dare to touch it anymore. Looking at this situation, it's better to stay steady. --- Sixty percent loss... What does this mean? It indicates that many people are buying at high levels. --- What does it matter if institutions are optimistic about 2026? It's already the second half of 2024. Who can hold on until then? --- It's interesting. Losing money on paper while still pouring in more money—what's the point of that? --- I believe in long-term value, but psychological resilience is too hard. --- It sounds good, but actually it's just gambling.

60% unrealized loss? Haha, this is the price of faith. Wait, can it increase by a few hundred thousand more by 2026? Then isn't now the time to buy the dip? It sounds nice, but the key is whether the price will go up. Having a large unrealized loss isn't the problem; the real issue is whether institutions will continue to buy. Predicting 2026 is a bit far off; let's see how things go next year. This data might be a bit inflated; why aren't institutions making big purchases now? I'm optimistic about the long-term value, but it's just that there's no money to add to positions now, haha. According to this logic, I can also shout slogans, but the question is when will the coins in the account recover?

Sixty percent unrealized loss? This is the real test of faith. Wait, adding more positions in 2026? Are these institutions serious? Holding coins at a high cost basis, life is really tough.

Sixty percent unrealized loss, that must be really uncomfortable... But on the other hand, are institutions still increasing their positions? They must be very optimistic about 2026. --- 75 to 850,000 coins? That number sounds pretty outrageous. Are they really so confident it will rise? --- Those who are holding high-cost positions really rely on faith to support them, so pitiful haha. --- Basically, it's still a bet on 2026. Anyway, since you're already trapped, you might as well hold long-term. --- Digital credit push? Is this thing reliable? It feels more like institutions are just seeking psychological comfort. --- I'm a bit curious about what these listed companies are thinking—holding so much unrealized loss and not reducing their positions.

Still telling stories, daring to look at 2026 with a 60% loss? --- Hitting the high point with the cost price is really a dead end, but then again, who hasn't been trapped? --- Digital credit + large-scale procurement? Sounds impressive, but I'm just worried it's another empty promise. --- Institutions are optimistic, but we need to clarify whether they genuinely believe or are just comforting themselves. --- From 670,000 to 850,000, if that increase is real, then I’ll believe it. --- Those with floating losses don’t dare to move; those optimistic about the future are adding positions. That’s just how the market plays. --- Still risking losses and daring to shout about a 2026 bull market? That’s pretty crazy, haha. --- Instead of hoping for growth, it’s better to think about how to get out of the situation first. --- Just listen to the institutions’ predictions; I don’t believe them anyway. --- This logic… feeling bad now just to be happy later? Gambling mentality.

60% unrealized loss is really painful, but I just want to ask, why are these institutions so sure that it will rise in 2026? --- Both digital credit and large-scale procurement sound impressive, but how much of it can actually be implemented? --- Friends with unrealized losses are probably cursing right now, while institutions are fantasizing about 2026. The time gap is really huge. --- Is the prediction of 750,000 to 850,000 coins a bit too outrageous? How did they come up with that? --- How many times have I said that long-term allocation has value... but it just keeps going down.

Still adding to positions despite a 60% unrealized loss? That’s really bold—either unwavering faith or being trapped and unable to move. Only breaking even in 2026? Just thinking about the opportunity cost over these two years makes me a bit uncomfortable. Is the "long-term value" that institutions talk about always said the same way...

Sixty percent unrealized loss still adding positions, this mentality is really desperate --- Wait, do institutions really dare to believe that 2026 can reach that level? I feel a bit skeptical --- Those stuck at high levels have to grit their teeth and hold on, anyway they can't run away --- It's called long-term allocation in a nice way, but it's actually gambling... Winning the gamble means foresight, losing means being the bag holder --- 67K turning into 85K? If this growth rate really happens, I’ll believe that the institutions didn’t waste their efforts --- Those with unrealized losses still want to hold on for two more years, their spirit is commendable --- Feels like the institutions are encouraging themselves, comforting those holding positions not to sell --- Let me ask, what will happen by 2026? No one can say for sure --- Can digital credit really drive such growth? That’s a bit far-fetched --- Anyway, the crypto world is always like this—today unrealized losses, tomorrow dreams, the day after... who knows
