Cryptocurrency investments to consider amid pullbacks feature companies that hold Bitcoin as part of their reserve assets.
This strategy has rewarded companies that delved into Bitcoin early but it also leaves them vulnerable to instances when the cryptocurrencies lose value as they did in mid-February with a $1.5 billion heist. The misfortunate befell cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, which reported on Friday, Feb. 21, that a cyber-attacker gained control of an ether wallet and transferred about $1.5 billion worth of holdings to an unidentified address.
An ether cold wallet was the only one that was hacked and all other wallets of the exchange were unaffected, with withdrawals proceeding normally, Bybit CEO Ben Zhou posted on X, which was previously known as Twitter.
Cryptocurrency Investments to Consider Amid Pullback: Bybit Rebound?
“Gold and bitcoin are long-term hedges against inflation and geo-political instability,” wrote Mark Skousen, PhD, in the March 2025 issue of his Forecasts & Strategies investment newsletter. Skousen, a presidential fellow who has been named “America’s economist” by the MoneyShow, has been writing Forecasts & Strategies for 45 years and has selectively begun to invest in cryptocurrencies.
Skousen teamed up with his award-winning documentarian son Tim Skousen to trade both Bitcoin and Ethereum successfully in the TNT Trader advisory service that they collaborate on together. TNT Trader produced an average gain of 85% when recommending options in Ethereum in November 2023 before selling them in two parts by the end of the following month. They currently are up more than 171.76% in Bitcoin that remains a recommendation.
“We are also several years into a very positive bull run since late 2022, so it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that stocks are retreating after an overbought period,” Skousen wrote in the March 2025 issue of his Forecasts & Strategies. “This has also included cryptocurrencies.”

Cryptocurrency Investments to Consider Amid Pullback: TNT Trader Analysis
In January 2025, TNT Trader predicted that Bitcoin would likely trade sideways or even retreat for a period of weeks or even months. The advisory service projected that Bitcoin would drop below $90,000, which it already has done.
It has only been 10 months since the last halving event in April 2024 of the amount of Bitcoin that is left to mine. In previous Bitcoin cycles, the cryptocurrency has not hit its new all-time high until at least 12 months later, TNT Trader reported. In the last three cycles, the all-time high has been reached closer to 18 months later, the publication continued.
“So, let’s be patient,” TNT Trader advised. “It’s hard to watch anything take a drop, but this is part of owning cryptocurrencies. Patience is hard, but it pays off in the end.
“And don’t forget that Bitcoin has done this during every bull cycle on its way to new highs. Let’s hold on for the big payoff before exiting the space later this year.”

Cryptocurrency Investments to Consider Amid Pullback: TSLA
Investors who like to buy stocks when they have pulled back may want to consider Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). Austin, Texas-based Telsa is possibly the world’s premier electric vehicle manufacturer.
Led by Elon Musk, the company has lost some popularity due to his involvement in helping President Trump in downsizing the federal government.
More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, complaining they did not want to use their technical knowledge to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter reported on by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”
Tesla is trading now is trading well below its 52-week stock price. Once Musk’s role in downsizing the federal government is finished, electric car buyers may resume focusing more on the vehicles rather than on the person who heads the innovative company.

For now, shares can be purchased at a relative discount for a company that is Tesla initially bought $1.5 billion of Bitcoin in 2021. The company still holds a substantial amount of the cryptocurrency that helped to boost its financial performance in the last quarter when its results from operations weakened.
Fast Money Alert is a trading service that has successfully invested in Tesla in the past. Skousen teams up with seasoned stock market veteran Jim Woods on the Fast Money Alert service and they have some scored big gains in the stock.
