📉 From +2600% to Total Collapse: The DAT Bubble Just Imploded What started in early 2025 as one of the hottest trades in the market has turned into a full-scale wipeout. Dozens of public companies that loaded up on crypto and rebranded themselves as “Digital Asset Treasuries” have seen their stock prices fall harder than the tokens they bought. 🕯 The playbook that supercharged stocks Companies raised money, bought Bitcoin or other tokens and watched their stocks pump even faster than the assets on their balance sheet. Michael Saylor created the playbook with Strategy Inc, and more than 100 companies copied it. Some even went parabolic. SharpLink Gaming exploded more than 2600% in days after announcing it would pivot into buying Ethereum. 🛍 When the market realized the math didn’t work Eventually investors realized something simple. Holding tokens does not create yield. Most DATs funded their crypto buying with debt, and those interest and dividend payments now need cash flow that does not exist. SharpLink is now down 86%. Greenlane Holdings is down 99%, even though it still owns around 48M dollars in tokens. Across the US and Canada the median DAT stock is down 43% this year while Bitcoin is down only 6%. 💥 Leverage that turned into a ticking bomb DATs raised more than 45B dollars to buy crypto in 2025. Strategy alone created multiple convertible bonds and preferred shares to fuel its Bitcoin purchases. Now they have to make payments on that debt. Their tokens do not pay interest, so the only option becomes selling crypto. This is where the fear kicks in. Saylor has always said he would never sell. But this week Strategy’s CEO said they would sell Bitcoin if needed to fund dividends. Those comments shook the entire sector. 🔽 Why forced selling could trigger a chain reaction If DATs start selling to pay their bills, they can pressure the crypto market itself. Even a tiny sale from Strategy would be seen as a major psychological break and could trigger forced selling from others. Some DATs still trade above the value of their tokens, but most are deep underwater. Capital raising is slowing and smaller DATs are already getting squeezed out. The first M and A deals are starting as stronger players try to absorb the weak ones. ❓ How a side trend turned into a self-reinforcing collapse The DAT boom created a bubble inside a bubble. Companies used leverage to buy volatile assets, then relied on the market to reward them with even higher valuations. It worked on the way up. When prices stalled, the flywheel reversed. 2026 will likely bring more pressure, more forced selling and more distressed mergers. The story of this trend is not how it started, but how fast it unwinds when the market demands cash flow and the tokens cannot provide it. ✅ Subscribe to @cryp

People give weight to and listen to advice from those who got rich successful in crypto. Except they give advice completely irrelevant to how they got rich. Study what people do, not what they say. Good example: Arthur Hayes made money doing a physical bitcoin carry trade and building a sketchy perps dex with good UX. Not from investing in altcoins and having the sharpest most accurate macro takes. Everything he talks about these days is bullshit yet people place so much weight in his picks and Taleb-esque ramblings. Many many such examples in every area of life. ✅ Subscribe to @cryp

🥷 Staying Private in Crypto and Web3 in 2025 Crypto was supposed to bring privacy and freedom, yet everything today is tracked, linked and sold. Blockchains are public forever, exchanges demand your ID, and analytics firms build profiles on every wallet they can match. The good news is simple. You can still stay remarkably private if you build a few habits. No need for paranoia. Just consistent practice. 🔐 Rotate your wallet addresses Never reuse the same address for everything. Each reuse builds a perfect public history. Good wallets already create a fresh address automatically, but check that the feature is actually on. 🎭 Separate your identities Use different wallets for different parts of your life. A public wallet for social platforms. A cold storage wallet that never touches the internet. A few small hot wallets for daily activity. Avoid moving funds directly between them on chain. Use a no KYC swap or Monero as the bridge when needed. ⚠️ Keep sensitive activity away from KYC exchanges If you KYC on a major exchange, that wallet sits under your real name forever. Use KYC platforms only for fiat on and off ramps and withdraw to a fresh private wallet right away. Popular no KYC options include Bisq, Haveno, NoOnes, Hodl Hodl, Peach Bitcoin and swap services like SimpleSwap or FixedFloat. 🔍Use Monero for anything that must stay private Bitcoin and Ethereum are transparent. Monero is not. If you need to break the link between sender and receiver, XMR remains the most effective tool. 🪙 For Bitcoin, use CoinJoin properly Wasabi and JoinMarket remain the main choices. Use multiple rounds. Consolidate UTXOs only after the join, not before. 🪙For Ethereum, use privacy layers Tornado Cash is sanctioned in the United States. Better choices now are Railgun, Aztec and Nightfall. Use fresh wallets, use a VPN and discard the wallet afterward if the activity should not be linked to you. 🌍 Always use a good VPN or Tor Your IP address is a major leak. Wallet activity without a VPN exposes your location. Mullvad, IVPN and Proton are strong choices. 🌐 Keep your browser clean Use a separate browser or profile for crypto. Use Brave or Firefox with uBlock Origin. Disable WebRTC. Never log into Google, Discord or Twitter in the same profile. Firefox Multi Account Containers is extremely useful. ⚙️ Use hardware wallets and keep your seed offline Sign offline whenever possible. Never type a seed phrase into any website. That rule has no exceptions. 🥷 Stop flexing Every portfolio screenshot and every ENS name becomes an entry in an analytics database. Privacy does not survive public clout chasing. Most people do not need perfection. Doing only four things rotating addresses, separating identities, avoiding KYC for private activity and using a VPN will already cover most real world threats.

Stay safe. The chains remember everything, but you can make it very expensive for anyone trying to follow you.
