Short sellers accounted for about $400 million in losses as prices moved higher. Long positions—a bet that prices would rise—reported roughly $223 million in liquidations. Ethereum experienced the highest total liquidations, at $159 million, while Bitcoin followed closely with $157 million.

Bitcoin traded around $116,300 at the time of the report—up 3.1% in the last 24 hours. According to platform data, retail sentiment marked the token as “extremely bullish,” with a notable increase in discussion levels.
Strategy (MSTR), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 640,000 BTC in its treasury, rose 2.28% in pre-market trading. Retail sentiment around the stock was also labeled as “bullish.” Ethereum climbed 3.5%, trading just under $2,300, with retail sentiment also judged as “bullish.” Meanwhile, Bitmine Immersion, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, saw its stock gain almost 4%, despite retail participants maintaining a bearish stance. Data from Lookonchain suggested that a newly created wallet, likely associated with Bitmine, received more than 25,000 ETH tokens from FalconX earlier in the week. The company previously reported holding over 2.65 million ETH tokens (valued at more than $11 billion) in its treasury.

XRP also advanced by more than 3% over the past 24 hours, despite news that the company’s CTO would be stepping down after 13 years (Ripple-cto-stepping-down-ceo-and-president-share-reactions/”>more details). The token traded around $2.93, though overall retail sentiment remained bearish. Hyperscale Data (GPUS), a major XRP holder, saw its shares rise over 2% pre-market.

Other crypto-exposed firms also posted moderate gains, with Marathon Holdings and Riot Platforms each up about 1%, and crypto exchange Coinbase climbing 1.8%.
