CryptoQuant: Strategy to Establish USD Dividend Reserve Fund to Prepare for Bitcoin Bear Market

2025.12.04 10:09:01

On December 4, The Block reported that CryptoQuant said in a Wednesday report Strategy recognizes a non-zero chance Bitcoin could face a deep or prolonged pullback. Setting a 24-month USD buffer signals the firm expects Bitcoin may trade sideways or decline over a longer period, and market acceptance of stock financing could drop going forward. CryptoQuant noted the “dual reserve model” — holding both USD and Bitcoin simultaneously — reduces the risk of forced Bitcoin sales during a market downturn. But this marks a strategic shift for Strategy, differing from its approach from 2020 through November 2025, when it consistently bought Bitcoin via stock and convertible bond issuances. “This shift impacts the Bitcoin market significantly,” CryptoQuant stated. “On one hand, Strategy’s reduced marginal Bitcoin buying pressure will weaken the strong demand channel seen in prior bull cycles. On the other, the USD reserve and newly disclosed hedging/selling capabilities sharply lower the odds of forced Bitcoin sales due to financial stress — a positive for long-term market stability.” CryptoQuant added Strategy no longer views its Bitcoin exposure as an untouchable asset in all market conditions. The company’s management now recognizes flexibility is needed to protect its Bitcoin reserve — including cash buffers, hedging, and selective liquidation during times of distress.

Ondo rolls out physical conversion feature for stocks and tokenized assets.

According to official announcements, Ondo has announced that Ondo Stocks now supports physical conversion between underlying stocks, tokenized stocks, and ETFs, and has added a primary market issuance channel via Alpaca’s Instant Tokenization Network (ITN). Qualified institutions can use their existing stock assets to mint corresponding Ondo Stocks tokens, or redeem tokens to receive the underlying stocks. Specifically, after an institution initiates minting, its held underlying stocks are transferred via internal bookkeeping from an Alpaca account to Ondo’s Alpaca account, after which the corresponding tokens are issued on supported blockchains; the redemption process follows the reverse steps. This mechanism eliminates the need for manual approval for each transaction, making it easier for institutions to convert between traditional stock assets and on-chain tokenized assets, and is expected to boost secondary market liquidity for Ondo Stocks and narrow bid-ask spreads. Currently, this feature is only available to institutions approved by Alpaca, and is not a universal function of Ondo Stocks. Participating institutions must hold valid accounts with both Ondo and Alpaca, and complete the relevant onboarding and approval processes; the conversion function is now live on Ethereum and BNB Chain.
