Prenetics Global said it stopped adding Bitcoin to its treasury as of Dec 4 and will keep its existing 510 BTC, valued at about $45 million. Announced on Tuesday, the board is prioritizing its IM8 nutrition brand, which reached $100 million in recurring revenue within 11 months and is projected at $160–$200 million in 2026.

Analytics firm Santiment reports that social media sentiment around Bitcoin has shifted back toward optimism, with bullish mentions now outnumbering bearish ones. Historical patterns suggest that such waves of greed have often aligned with local tops, even as Bitcoin currently consolidates around $88,000. Session-based return data shared by CryptoQuant analyst Maartunn indicates flat performance across US, European, and Asia-Pacific trading hours.

Prenetics Global Limited paused its Bitcoin treasury purchases on Dec. 4 and will not add more BTC as it reallocates capital to grow IM8. The firm retains 510 BTC and over $70 million in cash; IM8 has topped $100 million in annualized recurring revenue within 11 months. Prenetics' shares fell 3.32% Tuesday, per Google Finance.

On December 30, 2025, Bitcoin made a second push toward $90,000 but stayed confined to the $85,000–$95,000 band. The asset is about 5% lower than last December after an October setback and an early-October record. ETFs shed $6 billion in Q4, while derivatives open interest rose $2.4 billion in December.

On December 30, on-chain tracker Whale Alert flagged two large Bitcoin withdrawals from Coinbase totaling 4,658 BTC, worth over $415 million at the time. The BTC was moved to unidentified wallets, while Coinglass data indicated a net inflow of about 3,307 BTC to buyers across exchanges in the last day, hinting at easing sell pressure and renewed bullish positioning by both large and small traders.

Bitcoin's long-term holder and U.S. spot ETF selling pressure eased in December after heavy outflows since July, improving demand but leaving price action unstable below $90K. Options positioning shows significant hedging around $80K–$83K and even $75K, while upside bets cluster near $88K and $94K, suggesting a muted path under $95K into early 2026 as key January events add volatility.

According to CoinGlass order-book pressure data, Bitcoin has been constrained by dense sell-side liquidity while layered bids cushion dips. Since mid-November, price action has hovered in the high $80,000s as rallies meet resistance and pullbacks find support. Liquidity flashes near spot point to a controlled range marked by rapid order shifts rather than decisive trend.

On 30 December 2025, observers noted the BTC/XAU ratio is tightening near zones that historically preceded Bitcoin reclaiming leadership from gold. After sliding from around 20x, the ratio could gravitate toward 13x if market volatility stays muted, while technical indicators suggest gold's momentum may be fading.
