Corporate Bitcoin treasury companies posted a rare three-week selling streak, a shift analysts say could deepen Bitcoin’s pullback if fresh demand doesn’t emerge.
Bitcoin (BTC) treasury companies logged three consecutive weeks of selling, according to Capriole Investments’ Bitcoin Treasuries buy and sell indicator shared by educational platform Coin Bureau. The metric tracks net buying and selling by public companies that hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets.
It marked the first three-week selling streak in the short history of BTC treasury companies. Continued corporate selling threatens to push Bitcoin’s price toward a new ”bear market low,” said Nic Puckrin, co-founder and lead market analyst at Coin Bureau.
”As contagion increases, we could see further corporate selling in the weeks to come, pushing the price of Bitcoin toward its bear market low,” Puckrin told Cointelegraph. He added that the segment could also see consolidation if weaker firms struggle to maintain their treasury strategies.
Still, Puckrin said a deeper drawdown could prove constructive in the long run by clearing out leveraged positioning and speculative holders, helping reset market structure.

Trade uncertainty and ETF outflows weigh on demand
Analysts also pointed to macro uncertainty and weak fund flows as headwinds for a near-term recovery. US President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he was raising the global tariff rate from 10% to 15% effective immediately, following the Supreme Court’s Friday decision to strike down his authority to levy tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Trade policy concerns and tariff headlines have increased uncertainty for global markets, which can push investors into a short-term “risk-off” postures, said Linh Tran, a senior market analyst at brokerage XS.com.
“For Bitcoin, a policy uncertainty environment often triggers a short-term risk-off state, as investors prioritize cash and bonds over high-volatility assets.”
Tran said the pressure is being reinforced by soft demand indicators, including continued outflows from US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have posted five consecutive weeks of net outflows and are down about $2.6 billion so far in 2026, according to Farside Investors.
