MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor said on Monday, June 8, that the company purchased 1,550 BTC for about $101 million to increase its Bitcoin holdings. The buys were made between June 1 and June 7 at an average price of $65,332 per BTC, bringing total holdings to 845,256 BTC. Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff called the move "damage control" and argued the company boosted U.S. dollar reserves by $100 million while raising capital via stock sales.

BlackRock moved 3,580 BTC worth about $226.8 million to Coinbase Prime on June 8, a transfer that some traders watch as a possible precursor to market activity. The move comes as its crypto ETF lineup saw roughly $1.46 billion in net outflows in the five trading days ending June 5, including about $1.34 billion from IBIT.

Bitcoin is trading under renewed pressure after breaking multiple support areas and sliding into a demand region around $60K–$62K. Price action shows only a modest bounce from roughly $59.1K, while the market structure stays bearish below $66K–$67K and the $72K–$74K supply zone. On-chain readings also point to increased exchange inflows from older coins, which could add to near-term sell-side pressure.

After Bitcoin rebounded from last week's dip below $59,000, analysts say the market is still debating whether the sell-off has ended or if more downside could follow. In a June 6 X post, Aralez argued the decline may be in its early stages, with a possible bounce toward $71,000 before a deeper move to $46,000–$48,000. He added that a later accumulation phase after a bottom could set up the next broader uptrend.

Bitcoin’s market value to realized value (MVRV) ratio has fallen to about 1.1, a 27-month low that analysts associate with historically “cheap” valuations. Similar readings have previously appeared around major market bottoms, including a period that was followed by roughly a 67% rise over the next three months after the late-2022 FTX collapse. Analysts also caution that this cycle may not match past patterns, meaning a low MVRV reading does not guarantee an immediate bottom.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs logged a record $1.72 billion in net weekly outflows, extending a four-week run of withdrawals as Bitcoin slid toward the $60,000 level. Total assets held by these funds fell to about $75.1 billion, reflecting both redemptions and a weaker BTC price. Bitcoin was listed at $63,539.07 on June 8, up 1.7% in 24 hours but down 12.7% for the week and 20.8% over the past month.

Bitcoin started June under heavy pressure, down about 11.6% on the week into June 8 and struggling to regain key momentum levels. QCP Capital says the move reflects simultaneous crypto deleveraging and worsening macro signals, while Strategy's late-May sale of 32 BTC for preferred dividend payments added a symbolic shock. QCP also noted 30-day at-the-money implied volatility rose to about 41.4 as demand for downside hedges remained strong.

On June 7, Michael Saylor shared a chart of Strategy's Bitcoin holdings and wrote, "A good time to add more dots," fueling talk of another BTC buy. The post follows the firm's sale of 32 BTC between May 26 and May 31 for about $2.5 million, its first reported sale since 2022. Bitcoin was priced at $63,193.76 on June 8, up 1.3% on the day but down 12.8% over the week and 21.1% over the past month.
