Bitcoin Updates Today: Bitcoin Drops Sharply: Individual Investors Exit as Corporations Remain Confident

Bitcoin has recently tumbled from its October high of $126,272 to a seven-month low around $80,553, sparking renewed concerns about a possible widespread market downturn. Institutional analysts and business executives are offering conflicting outlooks on the cryptocurrency’s short-term direction. This sharp decline

wiped out close to $19 billion in market value

, prompting stern cautions from

JPMorgan

, which links the selloff to retail investors pulling money from spot

bitcoin

and

ether

ETFs. At the same time,

BitMine Immersion

(BMNR), the first major crypto company to announce an annual dividend,

posted strong earnings for fiscal 2025

and expressed a positive outlook for

Ethereum

staking in 2026.

According to JPMorgan analysts, retail investors have

pulled out approximately $4 billion from crypto ETFs

during November, in contrast to the $96 billion that flowed into equity ETFs over the same period. The analysts observed that while October’s downturn was mainly due to liquidations in leveraged futures, November’s losses are being driven by spot ETF redemptions from investors outside the core crypto community. This trend, they suggest, shows that retail investors are segmenting their portfolios, treating crypto and stocks as separate risk assets. "

It would be incorrect to interpret

the selling of crypto ETFs as evidence that retail investors are broadly turning away from risk assets," the analysts commented.

BitMine, which has introduced a $0.01 per-share annual dividend, reported a net profit of $328 million for fiscal 2025, fueled by its strategy of accumulating both Bitcoin and Ethereum. The company also

revealed intentions to establish the "Made-in America Validator Network"

in early 2026 to facilitate Ethereum staking. CEO Thomas Lee described the current downturn as a short-term liquidity event, drawing comparisons to the post-FTX crash in 2022, which was followed by a rapid V-shaped rebound. "

Historically, crypto markets have rebounded sharply

after extended declines," Lee remarked.

Michael Saylor, founder of MicroStrategy, whose company could see up to $11.6 billion in outflows if it is removed from major indices, downplayed worries about volatility caused by stablecoins. He pointed out that Bitcoin’s volatility has dropped from 80% to 50% since 2020 and

anticipates it will eventually settle at 1.5 times

the volatility of the S&P 500. Saylor’s optimism stands in contrast to the caution expressed by veteran trader Peter Brandt, who

compared Bitcoin’s price movement to the soybean bubble of the 1970s

The correlation between Bitcoin and the stock market has grown stronger, with the cryptocurrency increasingly tracking the performance of small-cap tech shares, especially those in the Russell 2000 tech sector. This trend has raised concerns among strategists such as Fundstrat’s Hardika Singh, who sees Bitcoin as a "sentiment gauge" for the wider market. "

If Bitcoin cannot attract buyers

, it may indicate further declines for equities," Singh observed.

Despite the recent volatility, institutional investors like Hilbert Group are taking advantage of the downturn. The Swedish investment firm

made its inaugural Bitcoin treasury acquisition

at $84,568, describing the purchase as part of a long-term accumulation plan. CEO Russell Thompson stressed a disciplined, yield-oriented strategy, setting Hilbert apart from more passive treasury management approaches.

With Bitcoin trading near key support levels, market participants are watching for signs of stabilization. JPMorgan’s research indicates that the recent decline is being driven by retail activity rather than a general retreat from risk, while moves like BitMine’s dividend and Hilbert’s ongoing accumulation reflect enduring confidence in the sector. Whether the $74,000 threshold will hold—or if another upward surge is ahead—will hinge on the balance between institutional moves, retail sentiment, and broader economic trends.
