Standard Chartered calls the selling “mostly noise” and a communication problem, and is sticking to its end-2026 Bitcoin forecast of $100,000. Bitcoin trades around $64,440, up 3.8% on the week but down 42% on the year, while Myriad traders give Strategy a slim chance of holding 1 million BTC this year. Strategy’s turn from hoarding Bitcoin to selling it, in order to pay dividends on its preferred stock, has “muddied” Bitcoin’s near-term prospects, according to a new Standard Chartered note that nonetheless urges investors to look past it.
