#BTC #🔥 Bitcoin rally causes 6 billion USD losses for short sellers in the sector

MicroStrategy, which has risen by over 300% this year, has increased the losses of the crypto shorts by another 1.4 billion USD.

📉 Traders who bet on price declines in crypto companies like Coinbase, MicroStrategy and Marathon have accumulated paper losses of 6 billion USD so far this year.

📈 The over 165% increase in Bitcoin drives the profits in crypto stocks, which are strongly linked to the price of the digital currency.

The optimism has increased the chances of a short squeeze, where growth forces the short sellers to buy back the stocks they have bet against, to exit their loss positions, which drives the stock prices even higher.

🏦 Coinbase has caused the most pain for short sellers who have bet against the sector this year. The 330% increase in the company has led to losses of about 3.5 billion USD.
