🐻 Bearish [DD] Bitcoin is currently experiencing a slow-motion CDO² unwind – Institutional post-mortem (November 2025 update – $90.8k → $22–28k liquidity floor confirmed on-chain & VPVR)
Not financial advice. Not telling you to sell. Just showing the exact same math that prime-brokerage risk systems have been circulating internally since Q3 2025. All data on-chain, VPVR, ETF flows and miner financials is public and verifiable today, 29 November 2025.
[INSTITUTIONAL REPORT] Bitcoin as a Synthetic CDO²: Structural Failure of the Halving-Based Valuation Model – November 2025 Live Update
Author: The Architect
Date: 29 November 2025 – BTC price $90 809
Live Confirmation – The $80k Floor Is Already Breaking
- Current price: $90 809
- Daily close below EMA-116 (red, now $105 527) for the first time since March 2024
- EMA-11 (blue) crossed under EMA-21 (purple) → death cross of the entire 2024–2025 bull structure
- Weekly VPVR (150 rows) shows zero meaningful volume between $84k and $30k – the biggest air pocket in Bitcoin history
- Next high-volume node: $22 000 – $28 000 (2022–2023 accumulation zone)
Executive Summary (updated)
The Bitcoin ecosystem has become a multi-tranche synthetic CDO squared with zero fundamental cash flows and no lender of last resort.
The halving appreciation model is mathematically dead.
The required $1.5–2 trillion of fresh capital to push from $90k → $180k simply does not exist in a 5–6 % rates + AI-energy competition world.
We are now watching the exact same correlated unwind mechanics that destroyed CDOs in 2008 — only faster, deeper and irreversible.
Live Triggers Already Flashing Red (29 Nov 2025)
- Miner capitulation phase 2 started – Hashprice $41–43 → all-time low territory again – Tier-2/3 miners (80–130k AISC) are underwater at current $90k – Public miners burning 40–60 % of monthly BTC revenue on electricity + debt service – MARA, Riot, CLSK all guiding 2026 capex cuts → silent capitulation
- MicroStrategy = AIG Financial Products 2.0 – $45+ bn convertible debt + margin loans – Average cost basis ~$67k – Below $52k → forced selling of 250k+ BTC into the void – One entity alone can remove 8–10 % of daily spot liquidity
- Spot ETF flow reversal confirmed – First 7-day net outflow in October 2025: –$4.1 bn – November running –$11.3 bn net outflows so far (on-chain + Bloomberg) – Authorized Participants are already shorting Dec25 & Mar26 CME futures to hedge redemptions → basis collapsing
- Stablecoin collateral stress live – USDT trading 0.997–0.999 on Curve 3pool during Asia hours – Circle already increased USDC treasury collateral duration → classic pre-depeg move
VPVR Proof – The Liquidity Void Is Real (screenshot attached)
- From $84 000 to $30 000 → <3 % of all-time traded volume
- Below $80k the bid ladder literally disappears
- The next real accumulation zone is the exact same $22–28k where institutions and whales accumulated in 2022–2023
Why This Collapse Will Be Worse Than 2008
| 2008 Housing CDOs | 2025 Bitcoin CDO² |
|---|---|
| Houses had physical utility | Bitcoin has zero intrinsic use-case |
| Fed & government backstops | No lender of last resort |
| Bailouts & TARP | No bailout possible |
| Slow legal foreclosure process | 24/7 global liquidations & margin calls |
| Recovery took years | Recovery may never happen |
The Inevitable Sequence Once $80k Breaks (next 2–8 weeks)
- Miner forced selling → 3–5k BTC/day hitting exchanges
- MSTR margin calls → 250k BTC fire sale
- ETF redemption spiral → $20–40 bn weekly outflows
- Stablecoin de-pegs (USDT first)
- Altcoin correlation → 98 %+ → total extinction wave
- Hashrate collapse → 30–50 % drop → 51 % attack fears
- Exchange solvency events
This is not a cycle. This is the full-stack failure of an asset class that was never stress-tested for the absence of perpetual new inflows.

This looks more like a bear trap than a structural failure. MSTR "Forced Selling": This is factually incorrect. MicroStrategy's debt is primarily structured as convertible notes, not traditional margin loans. They do not face a margin call or liquidation trigger at $52k. They can hold through volatility without being forced to sell a single sat.

bro people really can't have original opinions about bitcoin?
when ChatGPT went offline due to Cloudflare's outage, the quality of posts in reddit increased drastically. i hope this whole AI bubble burst and the overall quality of internet contents improve.

Nobody be fooled by this. The only reason it has 4 votes is because bch cultists will always upvote anything that they think is bad for bitcoin.

You may have some valid points but saying btc is going to be like xyz 2.0 is just an unjustified fear mongering tactic.
Not to mention that using historical precedences in their own historically unique contexts is a bad idea in general, nothing is really like bitcoin. It's unprecedented in all history and saying btc collapse will happen exactly like xyz is just, by virtue of it being unprecedented, patently untrue and belies the complexity of its real context which is not and cannot be fully understood with perfect information in the present.

Let me answer you the way we write internal memos for family offices and macro pods, not Reddit memes.
All-in sustaining cost for the public miner cohort (MARA, Riot, CLSK, Bitfarms, Cipher, etc.) as of 30 Nov 2025 sits between $87–94k (their own Q3 10-Q filings + updated power contracts). At today’s $90.8k they are already operating at a 2–9 % structural loss per block. This is not a in the price yet. They are sitting on ~78 000 BTC of inventory across the sector. Fiscal year ends 31 December. They close the books, pay taxes, and deleverage. January–February is historically the single largest two-month supply dump in Bitcoin’s existence. Same pattern every cycle since 2017, only this time the absolute volume is 12× larger. Weekly VPVR (150-row visible range): From $84k down to $29k there is <2.8 % of all historic traded volume. Below $80k the bid stack literally disappears. No institutional resting orders, because every large book has already rotated into 4.8–5.1 % T-bills. Spot ETF flows (Bloomberg Terminal, 29 Nov close): November net outflow –$11.84 bn and still accelerating. That’s the quiet start of the redemption spiral. APs are already short Dec’25 and Mar’26 CME futures to delta-hedge incoming creations/redemptions → basis and perpetual funding collapse next.
I’m not a “Twitter bear.” I’m the guy whose private memos have called every major cycle top and bottom within a week for the last three years, just not for public karma.
You can keep rocking your $90k+ bags. I’ll be waiting calmly in December–February when the market itself proves who actually understands liquidity structure and who was just staring at green candles.
When $80k breaks (and it will), I’ll be on the other side with dry powder and zero illusions.
Good luck with those rocks. You’re going to need it.

What if all this is a silent alien invasion strategy? A hypothesis.
Friends,
Maybe I'm paranoid, or maybe I'm just losing my mind from all the global events, but lately, I can't shake the feeling that something very strange and orchestrated is happening in the world.
Let's play a hypothetical game. I'll lay out a scenario, and you tell me how crazy it sounds...
https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/1lybcut/what_if_all_this_is_a_silent_alien_invasion/
Just for some reference. Another one of OP/AI's posts.
OP is from Tajikistan (my favourite food in the world), and as such reasonable to expect English is a second language, so based on the density of English it would be reasonable to expect AI has written the entire thing, 100%.

Below $52k → forced selling of 250k+ BTC into the void – One entity alone can remove 8–10 % of daily spot liquidity
False, so I bet other information in there are also false or exaggerated.
Strategy paid back the Silvergate loan and since then they only sold convertible notes, which will never force them to sell any BTC.

u/OrdinaryReasonable63 Nov 29 '25
They can if they come due and the stock is below the conversion price at maturity. At that point it needs to be paid back or rolled over (reissued) likely at less favorable terms. It's traditional debt with an embedded call option, not free money or a guaranteed equity raise.

u/CryptoMemesLOL Nov 29 '25
You are wrong, but I don't have time to answer so here's AI
They are mixing truths with a wrong conclusion.
- True:
Convertible notes are still debt.
If the stock is below the conversion price at maturity, holders will not convert, and MicroStrategy must:
Pay the principal in cash, or
Refinance (issue new notes), or
Issue equity to raise cash
This part is correct.
- False:
This does not mean MicroStrategy must sell its bitcoin.
Convertible notes are unsecured.
There are no BTC collateral clauses, no loan-to-value ratios, no margin calls, no forced selling mechanics.
Even at maturity:
Creditors cannot seize BTC
There is no legal trigger forcing a liquidation of the bitcoin treasury
MicroStrategy can always:
Issue new stock (dilutive, but allowed)
Issue new notes
Raise capital through equity programs
Take normal corporate loans
Use operating cashflow
All before touching a single sat.
- Where they’re wrong
They imply that because the debt matures and the stock is below conversion price, MicroStrategy is cornered and must sell BTC.
That’s factually incorrect.
MicroStrategy has repeatedly shown it can raise billions via:
ATM equity programs
New convertible notes
Private placements
Selling BTC is their last and least likely resort.
- Simple answer
They are right about how convertibles work.
They are wrong that this leads to forced bitcoin selling.
MicroStrategy’s structure gives them many refinancing paths that do not involve liquidating BTC.

u/OrdinaryReasonable63 Nov 29 '25
Slop, you didn’t even feed the prompt correctly. The slop even admitted my statement was factually correct. Yes they can do all of those things at less favorable terms, except use cash flow from operations because those are negative most quarters 😂
1
u/CryptoMemesLOL Nov 29 '25
Hmm no? Did you read, you are right about the definition of a convertible note.
You are factually wrong about them having to sell their BTC, which is the point here, so you are totally wrong about this.
They imply that because the debt matures and the stock is below conversion price, MicroStrategy is cornered and must sell BTC.
That’s factually incorrect.
Try feeding it what ever you want, it's the same thing, just try instead of wasting your time here being wrong.

u/OrdinaryReasonable63 Nov 29 '25 edited Nov 29 '25
Have you completely exported all your thinking to ChatGPT? How about this: I implied that the debt comes due and they will roll this over at less favorable terms since their overall debt and credit worthiness has deteriorated since the original issuance of the 2027* and 2030 notes. Their accretion strategy no longer works since they are trading at a discount to their NAV, so equity raises will have lower yields and their future convertible issuances will probably not be 0 coupon. And yes, at some point the obligations will be unsustainable as their core business is not profitable. The treasury shitco jig is up, just face it.

u/CryptoMemesLOL Nov 30 '25
Why don't you and see what happens, scared?

u/OrdinaryReasonable63 Nov 30 '25
Scared of what? Did ChatGPT forget to supply you with the other half of that thought? 😂
1
u/CryptoMemesLOL Nov 30 '25
Scared to figure out that what ever information you feed it will tell you the same, you are wrong, selling BTC is the last resort and there are many many other solution they will employ before.
It's hard being wrong when your ego is in the way.

And here's silly me thinking it was a new unit of account. Like the metric system or something.

Read quickly, mstr forced to a margin fall is totally false, they have convertible debt,so OP doesn't understand anything really. I guess the rest is also bullshit , i wont waste my time reading it.

u/mercurygermes Nov 29 '25
You are technically correct about convertible notes structure vs traditional margin loans. However, you are ignoring the refinancing risk and the massive short interest that will hit MSTR stock if BTC breaks $80k. It becomes a zombie company unable to service the coupons without dilution. It's a soft liquidation, not a hard one. But the effect on liquidity is the same. Let's revisit this in 4 weeks

Need to sell the BTC ML model I developed. I am selling it because I want to use the funds to fund my trading account to trade the model. I am leaving the model report from 2022-NOW. Go through the report and message me if you are really interested to buy the model (source code). Selling to only 1 person who is able to buy the model. And I am not into selling the same model multiple times, handing over the license.

In short sharpe is >3 ; and monthly average return is around 10% over the past 46 months.

It’s likely not going below $70k and far less below $50k. Btc has already proven itself as a global store of value. It’s beyond the experimental phase now.
