Michael Burry & Bitcoin Price Impact

According to an SEC filing, Scion Asset Management opened a huge leveraged short position on the US stock indices Nasdaq 100 and the more crypto correlated S&P 500. The filing reportedly showed that the firm placed purchased $740 million worth of Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 puts and $900 million worth of S&P 500 puts, both put together constituting about 93% of Burry’s total portfolio value. Hence, a big bet in favor of the fall in US stock values could translate into Crypto Market gains as traders might prefer BTC as a high risk and high reward investment.
