Strategy Cuts Bitcoin Purchases; DeepSnitch AI Presale Tops $680,000 Ahead of 2026 Launch

On December 8, 2025, Strategy, the largest public holder of Bitcoin, sharply reduced its BTC purchases and shifted to a more defensive stance ahead of a potential bear market. Investors have committed over $680,000 to the DeepSnitch AI (DSNT) presale at $0.02629 per token, with some participants expecting up to 100x gains after its planned January 31, 2026 launch. XRP and Near Protocol are consolidating after sizable moves, drawing mixed price projections for the coming years.
