The leading crypto market, Bitcoin (BTC), is coming under new pressure as warning signs change—from heavy selling in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) to continued uncertainty in the long-standing “don’t sell” strategy.
The result has been a weak phase: On Wednesday, the cryptocurrency fell below the level of $ 66,000, extending the selloff that has already removed almost $ 160 billion from the total market value this week, according to at Bloomberg.
$2.5M Bitcoin Sale Spooks Market
Earlier in the week, Michael Saylor’s Method to be sold about $2.5 million worth of Bitcoins out of a massive current stock of about $56 billion. Strategy is said to have reduced its volume by only 32 tokens out of 843,706 coins.

Rajiv Sawhney, global head of asset management at Wave Digital Assets, argued that the financial crisis is less than Overall responsibility for Strategy. He also described the transaction as “financially low,” calling it a “mistake” relative to the $62 billion price tag.
However, Sawhney emphasized that what is important is the opinion of the market: the idea that the company has remained “unsold” was part of what the market expected.
Bitcoin’s weakness is also happening against a very different trend in traditional markets. US currency it’s been very volatile, and technology stocks in particular are developing new devices.
Capital flows to AI Stocks
Artificial intelligence (AI) remains the centerpiece of the headline, and the numbers show the difference. Over the past 12 months, the Nasdaq 100 has risen 42%, while Bitcoin has fallen 37% and is currently 48% below its peak.
Carney Mak, partner at FXHB Asset Management, said part of the rotation has involved moving money from Bitcoin and digital assets to AI products. In his opinion, AI offers a better risk-reward setup than digital assets, which has encouraged investors to rebalance their portfolios.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at around $65,721, after posting a loss of around 2% on Wednesday, adding to the 12% return recorded in the previous seven days, according to CoinGecko. data.
