BTC breaks through 93,000, what are enterprises and whales doing

Beijing Time January 13, 2026, Bitcoin broke through the 93,000 USDT threshold, with the current price at 93,005.3 USDT. This is not only a technical price breakthrough but also reflects a resonance of bullish forces in the market. From corporate treasury expansion to on-chain whale activity, from CME institutional holdings growth to market structure divergence, there is a deeper story behind this breakout.

Multidimensional Support for the Price Breakthrough

Corporate Accumulation Provides Fundamental Support

According to the latest news, several listed companies are systematically increasing their holdings of BTC and ETH. Notably:

• BitMine Immersion Technologies added approximately 32,977 ETH last week, with a total holding of about 4.14 million ETH
• Bit Digital Inc. purchased 31,057 ETH last week, increasing Ethereum holdings to approximately 150,244 ETH
• Twenty One Capital is advancing a pre-IPO Bitcoin accumulation plan, expected to add at least 5,800 BTC, with a target total holding of no less than 43,500 BTC

The continuous accumulation by these listed companies is not accidental but a continuation of corporate digital asset treasury strategies. When institutional investors vote with real money, market signals become different.

Influencers and Active On-Chain Community Resonance

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor stated on X platform that the best-performing assets over the past decade are Digital Intelligence (NVDA), Digital Credit (MSTR), and Digital Capital (BTC). This endorsement from successful entrepreneurs reinforces the market’s recognition of BTC’s long-term value.

On-chain data is also interesting. According to on-chain analysis platform Lookonchain, a Satoshi-era miner recently moved 2,000 BTC, the largest Satoshi-era BTC movement in over a year. While such movements of ancient coins often attract market attention, more importantly, they reflect on-chain activity and participant diversity.

Market Structure Is Quietly Changing

CME vs Binance Holdings Divergence

The most intriguing is the divergence in holdings trends between CME and Binance. According to the latest news, during the recent BTC price correction, CME futures holdings increased countertrend to $11 billion, while Binance holdings significantly decreased and have not yet recovered to the high levels of a week ago.

What does this indicate? CME represents traditional financial institutions and large funds’ attitudes—they tend to increase positions during price adjustments. The reduction in Binance holdings may reflect profit-taking by retail or small investors. This divergence itself is a signal: big funds are optimistic about the subsequent market trend.

Technical Resilience

From the technical analysis provided, BTC recently showed a large bullish candlestick on the 4-hour chart, but the trading volume of the last candle decreased, indicating that upward momentum is gradually weakening. This is a normal profit-taking phenomenon, not a trend reversal signal.

Recent price movement data:

This data combination is interesting: although there is a short-term correction (7-day decline), the medium-term trend remains upward (30-day increase). Whether the 93,000 breakthrough can hold depends critically on whether the price can stay above the 92,000–93,000 range.

What to Watch Next

Personal opinion: the significance of this breakout lies in the psychological breakthrough—93,000 is an integer threshold that can easily become a new support level. But the real test is whether a new equilibrium can be established at this level.

From a market structure perspective, the increasing institutional holdings and CME position growth point to a bullish outlook, but decreasing trading volume suggests caution. If BTC can stabilize above 93,000 in the next 48 hours and volume confirms, the next target could be higher. If it falls below 92,500, a reassessment is needed.

Summary

BTC breaking through 93,000 is not just a price milestone but also a concentrated reflection of market participant sentiment. Continuous corporate accumulation, bullish sentiment from influencers, and growth in CME institutional funds all point in the same direction. However, we also see market structure divergence and weakening volume, which remind us to stay cautious.

The key is whether this breakout can form a new support level. If 93,000 holds steady, this breakout could signify a turning point. If it’s just a fleeting rebound, we need to wait for the next opportunity. The market’s answer will be revealed in the coming trading days.
