Wallets with 10-10K $BTC<\/a>: Accumulated +36,322 tokens in the past 9 days (+0.27%) \u2014 Santiment (@santimentfeed) January 20, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n It\u2019s worth noting that a large portion of the wallet accumulation could be from Michael Saylor\u2019s business intelligence software giant, Strategy. As reported<\/a> yesterday, the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency bought 22,305 BTC during the previous business week.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, the asset\u2019s price has tumbled by more than $10,000 within the same timeframe. The escalating<\/a> geopolitical tension between the US and the EU is among the most notable reasons behind the overall market uncertainty, but so is the \u201crelentless surge in long-dated JGB (Japanese government bond) yields,\u201d as Saxo Bank\u2019s Head of Commodity Strategy put<\/a> it.<\/p>\n In contrast, gold and silver continue to chart fresh peaks. The yellow metal\u2019s latest ATH came at almost $4,900\/oz yesterday, while silver neared $100 but couldn\u2019t breach it yet.<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin Lost $8K in 2 Days but Whales and Sharks Continue to Accumulate<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The rising geopolitical tension between allies has resumed the bearish trends that began in Q4 last year, and BTC\u2019s price tumbled from $95,500 to $87,500 in the span of 48 hours or so.
