Intro
If you opened your portfolio on Friday afternoon and felt a sudden urge to throw your phone into a lake, you are not alone. It was a brutal five days for speculative and growth-oriented assets as a toxic cocktail of hot macroeconomic data and aggressive institutional profit-taking slammed the brakes on a multi-week bull run. This sudden risk-off rotation triggered a massive trillion-dollar sell-off that caught the tech, crypto, and space sectors directly in the crosshairs. Here is your essential guide to navigating the wreckage of this week's liquidity drain.
What Happened
-
Driven by a sudden macroeconomic shift, growth equities and digital assets suffered a sharp multi-day sell-off that wiped out over a trillion dollars in broader market value. Space stocks in particular suffered more than most. Companies like Rocket Lab ($RKLB) posted their worst weekly loss on record.
-
Bitcoin (BTC) endured a severe weekly loss that forced it down where it bounced precariously around the $60,000 line. At the time of writing $BTC is down 17% on the week with a price around $61,500. We noted a bearish flag pattern weeks ago and have held off adding to our bitcoin position for confirmation. That pattern is confirmed, leading us to believe bitcoin may head lower from here.
-
Micro Strategy ($MSTR) has endured significant losses as a result. Micro Strategy CEO Michael Saylor is known for putting excess company cash into Bitcoin, which is now showing a net loss for the company. Whether or not Saylor is famous or infamous for doing this depends on which circle you find yourself associating with.

Why It Matters
-
The price drop triggered an absolute leverage-flush in the crypto derivatives market, forcibly liquidating over $1.77 billion in over-leveraged long positions in a single 24-hour window.
-
This downturn has put a harsh spotlight on Michael Saylor and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the world’s largest corporate holder of $BTC. Because Saylor went on an aggressive buying spree over the last few years—including a massive $2.1 billion purchase near the $95,000 peak—the company’s corporate average purchase price has risen to $75,699 per Bitcoin. With BTC sitting at $60k, Strategy is officially facing a massive $11.2 Billion to $12.6 Billion unrealized capital loss. While a forced bank margin call is highly unlikely because Saylor funded these purchases using long-term corporate bonds rather than margin accounts, the financial friction is real: the company recently had to execute a rare sale of 32 $BTC ($2.5 million) just to fund quarterly payments on their preferred stock, cracking Saylor's famous "never sell" mantra.
-
SpaceX is scheduled to IPO on June 12 at roughly $2T in valuation. Yes, that is extremely high and puts it into the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 immediately, but it can go higher. Currently SpaceX is targeting a $29T valuation by year 2035, a 1,500% increase in less than a decade! This means that SpaceX, and anything related to space travel has huge growth potential simply from riding the wave of Musk and his ambitions.

So What’s Next?
-
The Bitcoin Bounce or Break: Watch the $60,000 level like a hawk. If institutional buyers step in to defend this psychological line, we could see a swift technical bounce back toward $65,000 as short-sellers cover their positions. However, if $60k breaks decisively, the next structural safety net isn't until the $50,000–$55,000 range, which would extend the crypto winter and put even more pressure on corporate balance sheets like Strategy's. The MAJOR QUESTION: Can Bitcoin go back to 2022 levels? Absolutely it can. We aren’t saying this is a sure thing, but we are cetrainly watching for breaks of $50,000 and then $25,000.
-
Tech and Space Trapped by the Fed: Tech and space stocks are likely to remain highly volatile and pinned down in the near term. Until we get the next round of inflation data (CPI) or an official comment from the Federal Reserve hinting that rate hikes are off the table, big funds will be hesitant to buy the dip on high-cash-burn sectors.
-
We must consider the imminent SpaceX IPO. History would suggest that whenever big events like this take place the market will “sell the news”. The space hype has already taken place. $SATL (which we own) has gone from around $3.00 in April to a peak of $12.00 before this recent selloff, a 300% increase. Space stocks may be routing simply because the hype has slowed, and profit-takers are taking advantage. We believe space to be a fantastic long-term play. This space selloff, especially if it continues, is a great buying opportunity if you missed the first run.

In Short
-
The Macro Shift: A blowout jobs report dashed near-term interest rate cut hopes, sparking a trillion-dollar risk-off purge across tech, crypto, and space as Wall Street rotated capital out of speculative future tech and back into safe havens.
-
The Crypto Flush: Bitcoin’s drop to the $60,000 psychological support line triggered a brutal $1.77 billion derivatives liquidation cascade, forcing Michael Saylor’s Strategy balance sheet into an eleven-billion-dollar unrealized loss.
-
The SpaceX Monopolization: SpaceX is using its upcoming June 12, 2026 IPO and a structural pivot into orbital AI data centers to eye a $28.5 trillion total addressable market over the next decade—a massive target that initially choked out capital for smaller competitors, leading to Rocket Lab’s worst weekly close on record.
-
The 2035 Space Horizon: Despite short-term panic, the long-term thesis relies on the broader space economy scaling to unprecedented valuation If that structural growth plays out, today's brutally beaten pure-plays—like LUNR (targeting $220–$280) and RDW (targeting $140–$175)—are positioned to scale into massive multi-billion-dollar valuations as essential infrastructure providers.
Thanks for reading! Until next time, good luck out there and Godspeed.
