Bitcoin Declines Below $66,000 Amid Strategy Sale and ETF Outflows

Bitcoin Declines Below $66,000 Amid Strategy Sale and ETF OutflowsPreviousNext

Bitcoin has declined for several days, falling below $66,000 after a week of significant losses that erased over $15,000 in value. Strategy, a major corporate holder, sold 32 bitcoins for about $2.5 million, marking its first sale since 2022. While some link this sale to the price drop, Citigroup and analysts highlight larger outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs as the primary factor driving the downturn, which also triggered widespread liquidations in the crypto market.
