According to Capriole Investments founder Charles Edwards, long-term holders—known in crypto circles as “OGs”—have been systematically selling their BTC holdings to institutions. “They’re dumping on Wall Street,” Edwards said, explaining the persistent selling pressure.

New Cohorts Absorb the Sell-Off

Edwards highlighted that the six-month BTC holder group has absorbed nearly all of the supply sold by long-term holders over the last 18 months. This new cohort includes recent corporate entrants like Cardone Capital, ProCap (which is going public), Panther Metals, and Green Minerals.

He believes these firms will spark a “massive Bitcoin treasury flywheel,” eventually overtaking the ETF narrative as more companies jump in to accumulate BTC.

Short-Term Caution Ahead of Economic Triggers

Meanwhile, BTSE’s Jeff Mei noted that traders are locking in profits ahead of the July 9 tariff deadline, fearing unresolved trade tensions. He added that more public companies are starting to accumulate Bitcoin, though their impact may take time to materialize.

Han Xu from HashKey Capital pointed out that macroeconomic risks—such as tariff negotiations and budget legislation in the U.S.—are making investors cautious. Any unexpected developments “could trigger a sell-off,” he warned.

Despite these concerns, Bitcoin remains in a tight trading range between $102,000 and $110,000. On Monday, BTC briefly touched $108,750—its highest in two weeks—but failed to break resistance.

Notably, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen over $3.2 billion in inflows in the past two weeks, with zero outflow days, and more Bitcoin treasury firms are appearing each week.

The company acquired the assets at a time-weighted average price of $103,785 per coin. Since the purchase, the value has already risen close to $400 million.

Pompliano explained the firm’s aggressive strategy with a simple phrase: “Bitcoin is the new hurdle rate. If you can’t beat it, you have to buy it.”

Going Public Via SPAC Deal

To go public, ProCap is merging with blank-check company Columbus Circle Capital. The firms have raised more than $750 million to support the deal—$516 million in equity and $235 million in convertible notes.

The merged entity will be named ProCap Financial and plans to use the capital to buy up to $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, joining a growing list of companies building crypto-focused treasuries.

Corporate Bitcoin Buying Trend Accelerates

If ProCap were public today, it would rank 14th among publicly traded companies by Bitcoin holdings, just behind Semler Scientific.

This week alone, firms like Strategy, Metaplanet, Grant Cardone’s company, Panther Metals, and Green Minerals have all added significant Bitcoin holdings. The message from corporate America is becoming clear: Bitcoin is now a core treasury asset.
