K33 Research Advises Bitcoin Investors to Hold Steady in May

The stock market adage “sell in May and go away” will not apply to Bitcoin in 2025, according to a report by K33 Research, as noted by The Block.

Experts argue that there are few satisfactory explanations for this purported seasonality, including mass vacations, tax payment deadlines, and a reduction in new drivers.

In 2025, numerous catalysts driven by U.S. President Donald Trump will emerge, K33 Research believes.

“The crypto market anticipates many positive events due to actions by the head of the White House. Meanwhile, stocks may once again experience April’s chaos after the tariff delay ends, setting the stage for Bitcoin to comparatively strengthen in the coming months,” the review states.

Trump’s Bonuses

Analysts noted that July 22 marks the end of the 180-day period for developing a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, and assessing the possibility of creating a “strategic national reserve of digital assets.”

Trump assigned this task to a special working group led by David Sacks as part of one of his first executive orders.

Later, on March 6, the U.S. President expedited this work by signing another document on establishing a strategic bitcoin reserve based on the 200,000 BTC available to the federal government.

Trump tasked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with developing budget-neutral strategies for purchasing additional coins.

The order also provides for the creation of a U.S. digital asset reserve consisting of cryptocurrencies, other than bitcoin, seized in criminal or civil proceedings.

Federal agencies were to submit reports by April 5 describing their authority to transfer digital assets to the reserve. By May 5, the Treasury Secretary was to propose budget-neutral strategies for acquiring digital gold.

However, these deadlines have passed without any public statements on the results, experts highlighted.

“The conclusions from the report have yet to be disclosed, but they could become a significant ‘valve’ of volatility in the coming weeks,” analysts warned.

Bitcoin Outperforms Stocks

K33 Research recalled the resilience of digital gold during the April correction.

“The balance between a potential strategic bitcoin reserve and the potential negative long-term impact of tariffs on income and employment points to stronger fundamental factors for the leading cryptocurrency compared to stocks,” specialists explained.

Analysts noted the absence of rising funding rates in perpetual contracts. This indicates low risks of cascading long liquidations, which is constructive in the medium and long term.

“Our plan involved accumulating coins below $80,000 and holding them. We are now entering a period intended for hodling,” experts concluded.

As reported, Bitwise warned that the digital asset market could face difficulties this summer if the U.S. Congress does not continue work on relevant bills.

Earlier, the head of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Tim Scott, announced key achievements in crypto regulation during the first 100 days of his leadership.
