Berachain’s BERA token jumped more than 150% on Feb. 11, marking its strongest single-day gain in months as investors reacted to a strategic shift and the removal of key overhangs.
The rally followed the foundation’s unveiling of “Bera Builds Businesses,” a revenue-focused initiative aimed at backing three to five cash-generating applications to drive sustainable demand for BERA.
The surge was further supported by the expiry of a controversial refund clause tied to Brevan Howard’s Nova Digital fund, which reportedly allowed for a $25 million reimbursement if performance targets were not met, easing investor concerns.
Instead of relying on heavy token incentives, the network now plans to prioritise projects capable of generating real cash flow, seeking to reverse a prolonged downturn that saw total value locked collapse and BERA fall more than 90% from its peak.
A large token unlock event also passed without significant selling pressure, triggering what analysts described as a relief rally and short squeeze, and following the move the BERA price was up at $XX.
On-chain and derivatives data showed rising trading volumes and increasing open interest, with liquidation heatmaps indicating clustered short positions above key resistance levels that may have accelerated upward momentum.
Despite the rebound, Berachain continues to face token distribution pressures and must demonstrate that its business-oriented strategy can translate into sustained demand beyond the initial market reaction.
At the time of reporting, Berachain price was $0.9187.
