Bitcoin Defies Geopolitical Shock As Iran Threatens Ukraine, Analyst Signals A ‘Regime Shift’

Despite the ongoing geopolitical crisis, on-chain data indicated that large Bitcoin holders had increased activity.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>The $3 trillion market is showing early cracks as JPMorgan marked down loans and Morgan Stanley limits redemptions.</li><li>Around 25% of business development company portfolios are tied to software companies, an industry now facing repricing pressures as AI compresses margins and intensifies competition.</li><li>Visser argues Bitcoin often falls during liquidity shocks but historically rallies sharply after policy intervention and renewed liquidity &nbsp;</li></ul>Private credit is suddenly becoming one of the biggest macro risks in 2026, and veteran market strategist Jordi Visser believes the next big rally for Bitcoin (BTC) might come from it.On Substack, Visser shared in his recent analysis named “When Buffett’s Tide Goes Out in Private Credit, Bitcoin Wins the Rescue” that while a crack in private credit wouldn't help Bitcoin right away, it could eventually create the macro conditions that have historically driven the cryptocurrency higher.&nbsp;He said that in the short term, a liquidity shock would probably put pressure on Bitcoin and other liquid assets as investors try to get cash quickly. “In a real liquidity event, Bitcoin usually gets hit first along with everything else liquid,” Visser wrote.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Private Credit Market Under Stress</h2>Over the past ten years, private credit has expanded significantly as banks withdrew from riskier lending following the global financial crisis. The estimated private credit market was worth about $3 trillion at the beginning of 2025 and could grow to roughly $5 trillion by 2029. However, the industry is starting to exhibit signs of stress, Visser wrote.This week, JPMorgan marked down some loans to private-credit funds as concerns about software-sector exposure grew, and Morgan Stanley limited redemptions at one of its private-credit funds after investors tried to withdraw nearly 11% of the fund's outstanding shares.&nbsp;According to Visser, the sector's concentration in technology companies increases the risks. About 25% of business development company (BDC) portfolios, according to Morgan Stanley's March estimate, are linked to software companies, an industry whose economics are currently being drastically altered by artificial intelligence.Software firms were funded for many years under the presumption that steady cash flows and long-term growth would result from recurring revenue. But according to Visser, AI is upending those presumptions by reducing pricing power, intensifying competition, and compelling businesses to invest significantly in computer infrastructure.“As AI forces a disruptive repricing of software, one of Bitcoin’s key macro identities comes under pressure,” he said.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Can Bitcoin Front-Run The Rescue?</h2>Bitcoin has been trading more and more with technology stocks and software valuations. This means that a price change in those areas can affect the cryptocurrency. At the same time, Bitcoin is under pressure because it remains sensitive to changes in global liquidity.&nbsp;Visser, on the other hand, says history shows Bitcoin tends to bounce back strongly when policymakers step in to stabilize markets. He says, “The first phase is not liberation. It is liquidation.”During the panic over the pandemic in March 2020, Bitcoin dropped quickly in the first "dash for cash," losing more than 30% in just five days. But when governments and central banks launched large-scale stimulus programs, Bitcoin shot up by more than 900% from its lows by early 2021, argues Visser.During the 2023 regional banking crisis, when Silicon Valley Bank went under, there was a similar pattern. There were huge withdrawals and emergency Federal Reserve programs. After the chaos, Bitcoin rose to its highest level in nine months and more than doubled by the end of the year.Visser said, "Bitcoin does not front-run the panic." "It goes ahead of the rescue."&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> was trading at $70,742, down over 2% in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BTC remained in the ‘neutral’ zone, accompanied by ‘low’ chatter levels over the past day.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_14_at_9_22_50_AM_png_2ab8756842.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-14 at 9.22.50 AM.png" width="1148" height="146"><figcaption>BTC retail sentiment and message volume on March 14 as of 9:24 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">A Policy Intervention Might Be On Its Way</h2>The chances of policy intervention may be even higher today, argues Visser, because the U.S. financial system has significant leverage. The Congressional Budget Office says that the federal deficit will be $1.9 trillion in fiscal year 2026. The public's debt, on the other hand, is now about 101% of GDP. At the same time, the U.S. market capitalization is now about 219% of GDP, which Jordi Visser calls a "highly financialized economy."In such a situation, policymakers don't like it when liquidity stays low for a long time. The Federal Reserve has already begun to slow the balance sheet runoff in 2025 and stopped the sale of securities in December, says Visser.Visser says that these market conditions support Bitcoin's origin thesis. If private credit becomes the next source of stress, the situation could be similar to past crises seen. He predicts that, first, there would be liquidation, then policy intervention, and finally renewed liquidity, conditions that have historically led to large Bitcoin price upticks.&nbsp;Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/mstr-blackrock-ibit-largest-bitcoin-treasury-race/cZdz1fwRIOV">MSTR Closing Gap With BlackRock’s IBIT In Race For Largest Bitcoin Treasury</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Among many critics of Johnson, Bitcoin’s largest supporter–Strategy chairman Michael Saylor– stood out.Saylor&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/saylor/status/2032560712606773757">responded</a> to Johnson’s claims on Friday, arguing that the criticism misunderstands how Bitcoin works and why it has gained widespread adoption. “Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme,” Saylor wrote.&nbsp;He explained that Ponzi schemes relied on a central operator who promised returns and paid early investors with funds from new participants, something Bitcoin is not. Bitcoin is decentralized in nature.“Bitcoin has no issuer, no promoter, and no guaranteed return - just an open, decentralized monetary network driven by code and market demand,” Saylor added, pushing back on Johnson’s comments.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/saylor/status/2032560712606773757?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_14_at_5_06_07_AM_png_0cce92ad38.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-14 at 5.06.07 AM.png" width="916" height="1440"></a><figcaption>Michael Saylor responds to Boris Johnson.

In April 2022, then-Chancellor Rishi Sunak&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-sets-out-plan-to-make-uk-a-global-cryptoasset-technology-hub">announced</a> plans to make the UK a “global hub for cryptoasset technology and investment.”Despite such criticism, Bitcoin has grown into a major financial market and continues to remain the largest digital asset, accounting for over 58% of the total market capitalization.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cameco-westinghouse-us-japan-nuclear-deal/cZdzfN4RIOZ">Cameco-Backed Westinghouse At Center Of Potential US–Japan Nuclear Deal: Report</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Johnson’s criticism comes despite previous links seen between the Johnson-led government and the crypto industry.

<ul><li>The case centers on Tornado Cash, a blockchain privacy protocol that allows users to mix cryptocurrency transactions to obscure their origin.</li><li>Roman Storm’s first trial lasted four weeks and ended with a hung jury after jurors could not agree on the remaining charges.</li><li>Storm’s defense maintains that he only wrote open-source code and did not control how third parties used the protocol after deployment.</li></ul>The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has decided to retry Tornado Cash co-founder and developer Roman Storm after a federal jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict on key charges during his first trial.Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York recently filed a letter requesting that the retrial take place in October. The government is seeking another attempt to secure convictions on two counts in Storm’s indictment: money laundering conspiracy and violations of U.S. sanctions law.Storm’s initial trial lasted four weeks and concluded with a deadlocked jury on those charges. All twelve jurors heard lengthy testimony and evidence related to the Tornado Cash protocol, a blockchain privacy tool – or “<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/us-treasury-softens-stance-on-crypto-mixers-citing-legitimate-privacy-needs/cZdViTWRIIa">crypto mixer</a>” – that allows users to obscure transaction histories.<h2 class="st-heading-2">DOJ Pushes Ahead After Hung Jury</h2>The government’s decision to retry the case underscores the broader legal debate over whether developers of decentralized software can be held responsible for how others use their code. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/cardano-founder-calls-clarity-act-horrific-trash-bill-in-rebuke-of-ripple-ceo/cZdeIg5RI2D">recently cited</a> that as the primary reason the CLARITY Act should not pass.&nbsp;Prosecutors argue that the service was used to launder funds linked to cybercrime and sanctions violations. Defense attorneys contend that Storm merely wrote open-source software and did not control the protocol once it was deployed.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Roman Storm Plans On Keeping Fighting The Charges</h2>“A jury of 12 Americans heard four weeks of evidence and deadlocked,” Storm wrote in a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/rstormsf/status/2031204201418883256">post</a> X. “No verdict on money laundering and no verdict on sanctions violations. The government’s response? Try again to make writing code a crime.”The development comes after the U.S. Treasury Department lifted sanctions on Tornado Cash in 2025. In a&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/us-treasury-softens-stance-on-crypto-mixers-citing-legitimate-privacy-needs/cZdViTWRIIa">report&nbsp;</a>to Congress under the GENIUS Act earlier this week, Treasury acknowledged that digital asset mixers can serve legitimate purposes of financial privacy.Storm said he plans to continue fighting the charges, though he acknowledged the financial strain of another federal trial. “Four weeks of trial. A hung jury. Now they want to do it all over again,” he wrote. “I will never stop fighting for freedom.”The overall cryptocurrency market rose 3.8% in the last 24 hours to $2.48 trillion after Trump signaled that the war with Iran might be “complete” and over “very soon.”&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin (BTC)</a> rose 4.6% in the last 24 hours to around $70,800.
