Briefly

Bitcoin faces conflicting signals—corporate bets on mining expansion clash with bearish technical indicators and ETF outflows. Here are the latest updates:

Soluna stock placement at $32 m (December 7, 2025)—funding Bitcoin mining and AI projects using renewable energy.
Institutional investor actions amid volatility (December 7, 2025)—BlackRock sells BTC, while a Canadian bank increases exposure.
BTC falls below support at $89 000 (December 6, 2025)—profit-taking and macroeconomic concerns trigger automatic sell-offs.

Details

1. Soluna stock placement at $32 m (December 7, 2025)

Overview:
Soluna Holdings raised $32 m through a direct stock placement to expand Bitcoin mining infrastructure and AI projects, with a focus on integrating renewable energy. The company strategically locates data centers next to green power plants to support resource-intensive computing tasks.

What it means:
This signals ongoing institutional interest in sustainable Bitcoin mining, in line with industry trends toward eco-friendly solutions. However, BTC’s price reaction was muted (-1.8% for the week), indicating investor skepticism about mining expansion amid a market downturn.

2. Institutional investor actions amid volatility (December 7, 2025)

Overview:
BlackRock has sold 26,000 BTC since October—the most aggressive divestment phase—while the National Bank of Canada bought $273 m worth of MicroStrategy shares, increasing its BTC exposure. Bitcoin ETFs are recording daily net inflows of $54.8 million, much lower than in previous cycles.

What it means:
Opposing strategies by institutional players reflect market uncertainty. BlackRock’s sales put pressure on the price, but selective accumulation (e.g., by Canadian banks) signals long-term confidence. ETF demand remains weak, and BTC dominance at 58.55% underscores investor caution.

3. BTC falls below support at $89 000 (December 6, 2025)

Overview:
BTC dropped below the support level at $89 000 due to profit-taking, geopolitical tensions, and cascading stop-loss triggers. Derivatives traders now see $88 000 as a critical support level, with liquidations over the past 24 hours totaling $11.9 million (down 92% from last week).

What it means:
The support breakdown indicates fragile sentiment amid macroeconomic risks. Long-term holders may see this as a DCA opportunity, but automated selling could trigger further downside if the (000 level doesn’t hold. The Fear & Greed Index at 22 )extreme fear$88 points to an approaching capitulation.

Bottom line

Bitcoin is balancing between renewable energy mining growth, institutional investor disagreements, and technical breakdowns. Despite ongoing corporate accumulation, weak ETF inflows and macroeconomic headwinds are limiting upside potential.
