It was a rather small one of just 32 BTC \u2013 nothing compared to its 840,000+ fortune. However, the first week after the news went live painted a very clear picture: the company\u2019s moves, being the largest corporate holder of the biggest cryptocurrency, could have a major impact on the perception and performance of the underlying asset.<\/p>\n<p>BTC nosedived from $74,000 at the time of the sale\u2019s announcement to under $60,000 in less than a week. Yes, there were other factors at the time, but Strategy\u2019s move was <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-20k-collapse-6-reasons-behind-the-crash-and-what-happens-next\/\">widely considered<\/a> arguably the most significant. And that was a sale of just 32 BTC.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, the firm\u2019s co-founder and former CEO, Michael Saylor, highlighted another bitcoin distribution. This time, it was substantially bigger as Strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/saylors-strategy-sells-more-bitcoin-is-another-btc-crash-coming\/\">disposed of<\/a> 3,588 BTC worth $216 million. It said the sale was to fund dividends on its Digital Credit securities, which was aligned with the previous week\u2019s announcement about the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/saylors-strategy-responds-to-critics-with-new-plan-to-protect-btc-exposure\/\">creation<\/a> of the Digital Credit Capital Framework.<\/p>\n<p>There was an immediate impact on bitcoin\u2019s price as the asset, which had already retraced from $64,000 to $63,000, dipped below $61,500, where it found some support. However, there could be more pain ahead, at least according to one popular metric.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"td-sequential-says-sell\">TD Sequential Says Sell<\/h2>\n<p>Ali Martinez was quick to flag that the TD Sequential, a metric used to determine the underlying asset\u2019s market exhaustion in either direction, had flashed a sell signal amid Strategy\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>He believes the combination of these two factors is not something the \u201cbulls want to see,\u201d as they open the door for a more profound correction. Given the June developments and subsequent crash for BTC after the 32-unit sale, it\u2019s safe to assume there\u2019s merit to his prediction.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bitcoin just flashed a TD Sequential sell signal as Michael Saylor\u2019s Strategy sold $215 million worth of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">$BTC<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not exactly the combination bulls want to see. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9h2D9lgvuj\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/9h2D9lgvuj<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UcQoiem7d3\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/UcQoiem7d3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2074111042104307946?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">July 6, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/pl\/bybit24\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" onclick=\"if(typeof gtag === 'function') { gtag('event', 'footer_ad_click', {'page_path': window.location.pathname, 'exchange': 'bybit', 'link_type': 'main'}); }\">Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic; color: #808080;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Disclaimer: Information found on CryptoPotato is those of writers quoted.
