Having afternoon tea and scrolling through Twitter, saw a post about 2,628 BTC, $165 million, directly transferred into ((Crypto.com)). A lot of people are already saying Trump is cutting losses, and Lookonchain also mentioned it looks like a sale. Then, screenshots started circulating, and suddenly it turned into a $555 million loss. This is how rumors spread in the crypto world—at first, it’s just ‘maybe,’ but after a few shares, it becomes ‘confirmed.’ Turns out Trump Media quickly clarified that they didn’t sell, just moved the funds.
But when you say you didn’t sell, I can’t fully believe it either. I mean, with that much crypto going into an exchange, anyone would start wondering. However, http://((Crypto.com)) is their custodian, so it’s possible they just changed the wallet address or used it as collateral—who knows. There’s another interesting detail: after the transfer, the wallet still has about 4,261 BTC left, which matches almost perfectly with the 4,260.73 BTC listed in their financial report as collateral for convertible debt. That’s kind of intriguing. Does this mean all the movable funds were transferred, leaving only the collateral? Maybe. But it’s still too early to draw conclusions.
I used to see large transfers into exchanges and immediately think it was going to crash the market. There were even a few times I got scared off by this kind of news, only to find out later that they didn’t sell at all. So this time, I’m not rushing to judgment. On-chain data only shows the BTC going into http://((Crypto.com)), but it doesn’t reveal whether it’s for custody, collateral, or a sale. That $555 million loss figure is based on the assumption that the BTC was sold. Guess we’ll have to wait for the 10-Q to know for sure.
