Binance launches BTC Yield, a BTC-based yield strategy product designed for BTC holders.
Odaily Odaily reported on July 7th that Binance announced the launch of a new advanced wealth management product, BTC Yield. BTC Yield is an open-ended yield strategy product denominated in BTC, designed for long-term holders who want to explore potential yield opportunities in Bitcoin without frequent market trading. BTC Yield is one of the first Bitcoin covered call option yield products launched by a mainstream cryptocurrency trading platform for both general and institutional users, demonstrating Binance's continued expansion from a trading platform into a broader financial super application. Shunyet Jan, Head of Exchange and Trading at Binance, said, “BTC Yield further enriches the product options Binance offers its users, allowing them to realize the value of digital assets in more ways. Covered call option strategies are quite mature in traditional financial markets, but direct participation by ordinary investors is usually quite difficult. BTC Yield simplifies this strategy, making it easier for Bitcoin holders who want to capture potential returns without frequent market trading to participate.” To celebrate the launch of BTC Yield, Binance Wealth Management is launching a limited-time promotion where eligible BTC Yield subscribers will have the chance to share a prize pool of 100,000 USDC.
Analysis: Strategy sold off its first large-scale BTC transaction in five years, but the market did not show excessive panic.
According to BlockBeats, on July 7th, Crypto Quant analyst Axel Adler Jr. reported that Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) recently sold 3,588 BTC, worth approximately $216 million, marking the company's largest Bitcoin sale in history. However, the market did not experience a significant drop, with the BTC price remaining around $63,000. This is Strategy's first large-scale net sale since December 2022. The sale was completed in two batches: 1,363 BTC were sold between June 29th and 30th at an average price of approximately $59,256, generating $80.8 million; 2,225 BTC were sold between July 1st and 5th at an average price of approximately $60,773, generating $135.2 million, for a total of approximately $216 million. This sale is primarily intended to pay preferred stock obligations and replenish dollar reserves, and does not represent a change in Strategy's long-term Bitcoin strategy. The company currently holds approximately 843,775 BTC and approximately $2.55 billion in dollar reserves. This sale represents only about 0.4% of its holdings, indicating more liquidity management than a signal of divestment. From the derivatives market perspective, the news of Strategy's sale led to a significant cooling of sentiment in the Bitcoin futures market. The composite market index fell from the bullish zone of around 80 on July 6th to 32.6, entering the bearish zone, and at one point approached 20, indicating that leveraged funds began to shift towards a defensive stance. However, the Bitcoin price reacted only moderately, currently remaining above its 30-day fair value. The market tends to view this sale as a passive liquidity operation rather than a systematic exit from Bitcoin by Strategy. The market is currently in a "neutral to cautious" state, with relatively stable price performance, but derivatives positions have clearly weakened. If the overall market index rises back above 55, it may indicate a recovery in market risk appetite; if it remains below 45 for an extended period, it could further drag BTC down below its fair value.

For the first time in 10 weeks, Japanese listed company Metaplanet announced an investment of $225 million to purchase 2,823 bitcoins at a price of $79,664, bringing its total holdings to 40,177 bitcoins.

As of press time, the total number of Bitcoins held by listed companies worldwide (excluding mining companies) is 1,141,812, a decrease of 0.04% compared to last week. The current market value is approximately $70.3 billion, accounting for 5.7% of Bitcoin's circulating market capitalization.
Strategy confirmed the sale of 3,588 BTC, raising $216 million, which will be used to pay dividends on digital credit securities.
According to BlockBeats, on July 6th, Strategy Technologies announced on its official account that it had sold 3,588 bitcoins, raising $216 million to pay dividends on its digital credit securities. As of July 5th, the company's bitcoin reserves had decreased to 843,775 bitcoins, while its dollar reserves stood at $2.55 billion. This is Strategy Technologies' second publicly disclosed reduction in holdings this year, following the sale of 32 BTC between May 26th and 31st to cover preferred stock dividends. The significant increase in scale reflects the company's increasing reliance on selling some of its bitcoin reserves to maintain its dividend obligations amidst downward pressure on bitcoin prices and widening unrealized losses on its holdings.
