His central argument: as capital rotates into AI and high-growth tech, <span>bitcoin<\/span> gets left behind, and that neglect is the mechanism, not the risk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone always assumes the alligator jaws close by <span>bitcoin<\/span> going down,\u201d Check said. He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cNo. They close because <span>bitcoin<\/span>\u2019s forgotten, then suddenly it\u2019s the only thing in the room that\u2019s moving.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What he calls \u201ctime pain\u201d is the slow attrition of impatient holders rotating out into faster-moving trades. Once that process runs its course, he argues, the remaining holder base has no structural reason to sell, and no one is positioned to force them.<\/p>\n<h2>The AI Trade and the Coming IPO Test<\/h2>\n<p>Check is direct about the AI investment cycle. He sees it pulling capital out of everything else and generating valuations he says fail a basic smell test, particularly around the SpaceX IPO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe numbers are so far off from making sense,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re changing rules to the S&amp;P to stuff this thing in because they don\u2019t have the buyers for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morningstar\u2019s discounted cash flow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.morningstar.com\/stocks\/why-we-think-spacex-ipo-is-overvalued\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">analysis<\/a> supports the skepticism. The firm assigned SpaceX a fair value of $780 billion, roughly 48% to 55% below recent private market valuations near $1.5 trillion and well below reported IPO targets above $1.75 trillion. Morningstar cited ongoing quarterly net losses, heavy future capital expenditure needs, and uncertainty around unproven technologies, including Starship.<\/p>\n<p>Check\u2019s broader read is that a \u201chero IPO\u201d historically marks the beginning of the end of a bubble cycle. When euphoria peaks at that moment, he expects <span>bitcoin<\/span> to be sitting at maximum neglect.<\/p>\n<h2>Wall Street Is Watching the Same Signals<\/h2>\n<p>Bank of America (BofA) strategists, led by Savita Subramanian, recently <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/markets\/stocks\/articles\/bofa-warns-time-profits-red-170459030.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued<\/a> a warning telling investors to take profits. Approximately 70% of the firm\u2019s bear-market indicators had triggered, a level consistent with prior market peaks. BofA cited stretched valuations, narrow AI and tech leadership driving most gains, softening demand signals, and credit stress. The firm lowered its year-end S&amp;P 500 target to 7,100.<\/p>\n<p>The backdrop Check is describing, where hyperscalers are on pace to spend a combined $600 to $725 billion in capital expenditures in 2026 alone, while enterprise AI monetization lags by orders of magnitude, fits the pattern BofA flagged. OpenAI\u2019s internal projections reportedly point to a net loss of roughly $14 billion in 2026 alone, with cumulative losses running into the tens of billions before any path to profitability.<\/p>\n<h2>The Capital Rotation Thesis<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/3-trillion-ai-ipo-wave-could-pull-capital-from-bitcoin-as-investors-chase-new-market-giants\/\">capital rotation<\/a> thesis is gaining attention across financial markets, with several high-profile figures pointing to the trend. The theory holds that investors, both retail and institutional, are selling <span>bitcoin<\/span> and spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) holdings to free up capital for AI investments.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/bitcoin-sell-off-theory-points-to-spacex-openai-anthropic-ipo-mania-draining-crypto-cash\/\">focus<\/a> centers on the anticipated SpaceX IPO because it is so close, and it is expected to seek up to $75 billion at a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $1.75 trillion. Pricing and trading are widely expected around Jun. 11-12, 2026. Investors are also closely watching OpenAI, whose private valuation is estimated between $730 billion and $850 billion and which has filed a confidential S-1. Anthropic is drawing similar attention following recent funding rounds and reports that it, too, has confidentially <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/anthropic-files-confidential-s-1-with-sec-targets-ipo-at-965b-valuation\/\">filed<\/a> for a public offering.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for <span>Bitcoin<\/span> Holders<\/h2>\n<p>Check\u2019s framework draws a clean line between two types of capital. \u201cFast money\u201d chases the hottest narrative and rotates constantly. Long-duration capital, which he says he holds in <span>bitcoin<\/span> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a>, does not trade cycles. \u201cI don\u2019t trade my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/bitcoin-vs-gold\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gold<\/a>. I don\u2019t trade my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>,\u201d he remarked. \u201cThey\u2019re my long-term savings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His view is that the current moment is actively flushing out holders who do not share that conviction. When the flush completes, the remaining holder base has no structural reason to sell into a downturn.<\/p>\n<p>He described the current market structure as \u201cPonzi-fication of everything,\u201d a late-stage dynamic where career risk pushes fund managers into AI names and away from assets that are not moving. That consensus positioning is, in his read, exactly what sets up the next asymmetric move.<\/p>\n<p>He added:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t imagine <a href=\"https:\/\/www.binance.com\/en\/price\/bitcoin\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bitcoin<\/a>\u2019s going to be a heavily owned, heavily forced-sale asset when it\u2019s all said and done.
