Bitwise is looking past Bitcoin\u2019s recent slide and toward a much larger pressure point: close to $30 trillion in global debt that needs refinancing in 2026.<\/p>\n

The firm said higher Japanese government bond yields and a warning from the IMF about waning demand for government debt could push markets into a tighter corner, a setup Bitwise believes may eventually favor Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Debt Pressure Returns To Center Stage<\/h2>\n

According to Bitwise, that kind of stress could matter if central banks answer with fresh liquidity. The firm framed<\/a> Bitcoin as an asset that sits outside government balance sheets and does not depend on a central issuer, which gives it a different role when sovereign borrowing becomes harder to manage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The report also linked Bitcoin\u2019s appeal to real interest rates. Bitwise said the asset has tended to do better when real yields fall, and that a mix of sticky inflation<\/a> and a pause from the Federal Reserve could help set that up.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s May rally lost steam after a sharp run above $80,000. It briefly reached about $83,000, then slipped back toward $70,000 after ETF<\/a> outflows gathered pace and sentiment cooled.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin recovered above $80k in May 2026 before stalling at the $80k\u2013$85k bull-bear threshold and subsequently falling to $72k. ETP outflows, sovereign bond stress, and record hodling defined the month.<\/p>\n

A Tough Range For Traders<\/h2>\n

Bitwise<\/a> said the move higher was helped by a short squeeze, stronger on-chain signals, and about $166.5 million in net inflows into Bitcoin ETPs. Long-term holders also added about 125,000 BTC during the prior month, which gave the rally some support.<\/p>\n

That picture changed fast. Global Bitcoin ETPs<\/a> saw more than $1 billion in net outflows, and the firm said that pressure knocked confidence lower as Bitcoin failed to clear the $80,000 to $85,000 band.<\/p>\n

Bitwise called that zone the market\u2019s main dividing line. It said price action around that range will keep shaping whether traders view the market as healthy or fragile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Holding Patterns Keep Tightening Supply<\/p>\n

Even with weaker demand, Bitwise said the supply side is moving in a tighter direction. Long-term investors now hold a record 14.85 million BTC, or about 73% of the circulating supply.<\/p>\n

The firm added that 60% of Bitcoin has not moved in more than a year, 48.5% for more than two years, 42.8% for more than three years, and 33% for at least five years. That kind of inactivity, Bitwise said, is squeezing available supply while buyers have been slower to return.<\/p>\n

The report also argued that Bitcoin still looks cheap beside major US tech stocks. It said Bitcoin\u2019s MVRV ratio sits below its long-run average, while the Nasdaq 100\u2019s price-to-book reading is near record highs.<\/p>\n

Price Levels Still Matter<\/p>\n

Bitwise pointed to $78,000 to $80,000 as the key area to watch, with $83,000 to $85,000 marked as the first major ceiling. It listed $73,000 as important support and $95,000 as the next upside target.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin<\/a> was trading at $69,460, down 4.7% in the last 24 hours, data from Coingecko shows.<\/p>\n
