Bitcoin crossed below the average entry price paid by corporate treasury holders as of 24 October 2026, per Glassnode estimates.[^1]

The average purchase price for corporate Bitcoin balance sheet holders is approximately $80,000 per coin.[^2] A four hour selloff immediately prior to this reading saw $95.22 million in total crypto liquidations, of which $91.19 million were long positions.[^3]

$77,876 is identified as the next immediate downside support level for Bitcoin, with a wider support zone running between $72,500 and $76,700.[^4]

Large corporate holders now face competing capital obligations. Strategy spent $193 million repurchasing preferred stock in its latest weekly update, while acquiring 267 Bitcoin over the same window. Both Strategy and Strive must allocate capital between Bitcoin purchases and preferred stock dividend commitments.[^5] [^6]
