Bitcoin Rebounds After $63,900 Spike and Strategy’s BTC Sale Disclosure, Lifting Polymarket July 10 Odds
Bitcoin’s volatile start to the week — including a move up toward $63,900 before reversing — is being watched closely as traders digest disclosures around Strategy’s bitcoin sales. On Polymarket, odds in the “Bitcoin above ___ on July 10?” ladder edged higher, with the $52,000 strike priced near certainty.
Key Takeaways
- Polymarket prices a 99.5% chance Bitcoin will be above $52,000 on July 10.
- Traders adjusted after Bitcoin spiked near $63,900 and then reversed amid focus on Strategy’s disclosed bitcoin sales.
- The ladder contract resolves on July 10, 2026 at 16:00 UTC.
Bitcoin jumped to about $63,900 early in the week before reversing, as markets reacted to disclosures that Strategy sold thousands of bitcoin last week. The report said a prior sale of 32 BTC in late May helped trigger a panic-driven slide that took bitcoin from $74,000 to $60,000 within days, but the market response to the more recent sale of 3,588 BTC was more muted after an initial dip. The piece described bitcoin trading back near weekend highs and cited a gain of 1.7% over the past 24 hours after the headline hit. Commentators debated whether selling bitcoin to fund interest, dividends, debt paydowns and share buybacks represents a shift in Strategy’s model versus issuing stock and debt to buy more bitcoin. Strategy CEO Phong Le was quoted describing the company’s approach as moving from one-way capital issuance to active capital management.
