The remark was brief. The implication was not. 39 trillion reasons to buy bitcoin https://t.co/0E2OvKkNKu — Cameron Winklevoss (@cameron) May 22, 2026 A Fixed Supply Against A Growing Debt Cameron and his brother Tyler have long argued that Bitcoin’s hard cap of 21 million coins makes it a natural hedge against governments that keep spending beyond their means. They call it “gold 2.0,” and they believe that if Bitcoin ever displaces gold as the world’s go-to store of value, the price could eventually hit $1 million. Cameron has a history of flagging what he sees as prime buying moments. When Bitcoin fell below $90,000 late last year, he told his more than 700,000 followers on X that it was a final chance to buy before a rebound. The rebound did not come as expected — Bitcoin slid further and now trades around $74,000. The Debt Argument Gains Ground Across The Industry Cameron is not the only prominent voice tying the national debt to the case for Bitcoin. Jim Cramer urged Americans last year to consider cryptocurrencies as the debt climbed to $37.63 trillion, a point when the National Debt Clock in New York showed each American family carrying a burden of nearly $955,708. Michael Saylor and Anthony Pompliano have made similar arguments, repeatedly framing Bitcoin as a shield against economic uncertainty and ballooning government obligations. The idea is straightforward: as government debt grows and the purchasing power of fiat currencies shrinks, an asset with a fixed supply becomes harder to ignore. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows?

Their advocacy and their financial interests run in the same direction. Cameron’s latest post adds one more data point to a narrative the crypto industry has been building for years — that the national debt is not just an economic problem but an argument for holding Bitcoin.

Since the past week, the Bitcoin price has traded below the cost basis of one of its most reactive investor groups. Based on recent on-chain information, the world’s largest cryptocurrency might face further trouble if its price fails to reclaim this crucial level. Related Reading: Bitcoin Upper Trendline Resistance Is Holding Price Back, Can It Push It Below $60,000? Analyst Answers Bitcoin’s Drop Under $80,000 Drives Realized Losses Upwards In an X post on May 22, Axel Adler Jr. analyzes Bitcoin’s struggle to reclaim its Short-Term Holder (STH) Realized Price. The crypto analyst identifies this level at around $80,000 (specifically $80,217). For context, the STH Realized Price tracks the average acquisition price of newer BTC investors. When Bitcoin trades below this threshold, it often means that many of its short-term holders are holding unrealized losses, thereby increasing selling pressure. Notably, Axel Adler Jr. points out that these realized losses have risen across the Bitcoin market. The pundit reports that the Net realized profit is now roughly –$176 million, arising from the difference between $366 million in realized losses and $190 million in realized profits among Bitcoin short-term traders. Adler notes that as long as Bitcoin remains below the STH cost basis, future market rebounds would be mere unconfirmed or temporary retracements. Simply put, these temporary price recoveries below the $80,217 threshold might be relief rallies rather than actual signs of a broader trend reversal. Hence, before market participants can judge Bitcoin to be displaying bullish intent, the price has to break clearly above the former STH support that might now resist the expansion of Bitcoin’s price. This is because, as the price approaches the STH breakeven (realized) price, investors become more likely to exit their positions, thereby adding bearish pressure. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Eyes Breakout Move, Traders Watch Key Resistance Closely Coinbase Records Highest Selling Pressure Since February In another X post, Maartunn reveals that Coinbase is seeing one of the strongest waves of bearish pressure since February. The relevant indicator here is the Coinbase Premium Gap, which primarily tracks buying and selling activity among US-based investors. According to the chart shared by Maartunn, the Coinbase Premium Gap has dropped deeply into negative territory, coinciding with Bitcoin’s latest price weakness. When the premium turns positive, it generally signals stronger buying activity on Coinbase. However, a negative reading typically reflects increased selling pressure or weakening demand from US investors. Interestingly, strong negative Coinbase premium readings, such as those currently seen, have often appeared during corrective phases or periods of short-term fear. However, these can also precede the establishment of local bottoms if selling exhaustion begins to emerge. As of this writing, Bitcoin stands at a $75,514 valuation, down 2.56% since the past day.

Six straight days of outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs — totaling $1.26 billion — are drawing attention not for the losses they represent, but for what history suggests might come next. What The Data Shows Blockchain analytics firm Santiment says these outflows should be read as a counter-signal rather than a warning. According to the firm, ETF flows reflect retail investor behavior more than institutional positioning, which means sustained outflows tend to mark bottoms rather than the start of deeper slides. Related Reading: New Bitcoin Lows? Analysts Say Chances Are ‘Extremely Slim’ Santiment pointed to a consistent pattern: large inflow spikes have historically landed near price tops, while heavy outflow periods have lined up with buying opportunities. The numbers support the argument. On July 10, 2025, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.18 billion in inflows — a period that coincided with a local price top. October 6, 2025 brought $1.21 billion in inflows, and prices peaked around the same time. On the other side, $903 million in outflows hit on November 20, 2025, a moment that proved well-timed for buyers. Based on this track record, Santiment says the current outflow streak fits the same mold — retail investors cutting exposure after Bitcoin failed to hold $80,000 in May, hitting a high of $79,050 on May 16 before pulling back. Retail Fear, Not Institutional Exit Bitcoin was trading at $75,400 when Santiment published its report on Friday, May 22. The firm described the current climate as the highest level of market fear seen in more than 3.5 months. Rather than treating that as cause for alarm, Santiment framed it as a familiar setup — retail capitulation that has historically reset conditions ahead of recoveries. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded outflows across each of the six trading sessions from May 15 through May 22, according to Farside Investors data. The 11 funds tracked collectively posted $1.26 billion in net outflows during just five of those sessions. On May 22 alone, total net outflows came to $105 million, according to SoSoValue data, extending the outflow streak to six consecutive days. Related Reading: Bitcoin Treasury Company Nakamoto Takes Action To Prevent Stock Slide ETF Analyst Sees Recovery Ahead ETF analyst James Seyffart offered a separate reason for optimism. Speaking on a podcast, Seyffart noted that total Bitcoin ETF inflows are approaching their all-time high of $60 billion and that most of the $9 billion in outflows recorded between October and February has since been recouped. He expects the all-time inflow record to break in the near term. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
