Elon Musk Curious If Converting Tesla

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk could do his shareholders a $100 billion favor by converting the automaker’s balance sheet to Bitcoin, his MicroStrategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR) counterpart Michael Saylor suggested.

What Happened: Saylor made his comments in response to Musk poking fun at the apex cryptocurrency on Sunday.

“Are such large transactions even possible?” Musk probed.

In response, Saylor offered to share his “playbook” with the Tesla CEO, saying, he had purchased over $1.3 billion in Bitcoin over the past few months. The only caveat? Saylor would only share such secrets offline.

Why It Matters: Coinbase, which filed for an IPO this month, facilitated a $425 billion purchase of Bitcoin for Microstrategy earlier in the year.

Virginia-based MicroStrategy raised $550 million in debt to fund the purchases in December. A Citi analyst downgraded the firm thereafter, calling Saylor’s focus on Bitcoin “disproportionate.”

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said on Twitter late Sunday, if any company wanted to hold cryptocurrency on its balance sheet, Coinbase could help.

Seems like more and more companies are starting to hold crypto on balance sheet, as a hedge against inflation. We can help https://t.co/KWYOemrDMO

Others that have jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon include PayPal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: PYPL) and Jack Dorsey-led Square Inc (NYSE: SQ).

Bitcoin signals potential seller exhaustion as realized losses decline

On-chain data points to easing selling pressure, with realized losses falling and spot markets shifting toward net buying.

Profit/Loss Ratio (Glassnode)

What to know:

  • Realized losses on bitcoin have dropped to around $400 million per day from peaks of $2 billion, suggesting diminishing forced selling.
  • The profit-to-loss ratio has risen to 1.4, indicating that realized profits now outweigh losses as market conditions improve

Bitcoin may be entering a phase of seller exhaustion. After bottoming near $60,000 on Feb. 5, the asset has spent more than two months consolidating, gradually grinding higher toward the $70,000 level. This came alongside macro uncertainty with the Middle East conflict pushing oil prices well above $100 a barrel.

Data from CheckonChain suggests that selling pressure is beginning to ease. Realized losses are currently around $400 million per day, still elevated compared to previous years, but trending lower in recent weeks.
Realized losses had spiked to as much as $2 billion on Nov. 21 and Feb. 5, reaching levels not seen in several years and surpassing those seen during the 2022 bear market, according to the data.

“Spot markets are shifting from aggressive selling to net buy side pressure, realized profits and losses are both declining,” said CheckonChain.

Realized Loss (CheckonChain)

Glassnode data reinforces this trend. On a seven-day moving average, realized profits are around $300 million per day, near twelve-month lows. This suggests that investors who accumulated bitcoin at $60,000 are now marginally in profit and beginning to take some gains.

Meanwhile, the realized profit-to-loss ratio has risen to 1.4, its highest level since January, according to Glassnode data. This metric, which compares the value of coins moved at a profit to those moved at a loss, shows that realized profits now outweigh losses.

These indicators point toward a market where selling pressure is fading, raising the likelihood that bitcoin is approaching a phase of seller exhaustion.
