Bitcoin Slides Under $80,000 Ahead of ETF Reopen

Bitcoin slipped in weekend trading, sticking around $78,183 after a spike in U.S. bond yields and oil prices sent risk assets tumbling Friday and pulled the largest cryptocurrency under $80,000. Crypto trades all weekend, but with U.S. stocks and bitcoin ETFs closed, traders faced the fallout from Friday’s selloff in a thinner market.

Why Is Bitcoin Down Today? BTC Slips Below $80,000 as Hot Inflation, Yields and ETF Wobbles Hit Crypto

Bitcoin slipped under the $80,000 line on Friday, erasing most of its short-lived regulatory-policy surge. Investors faced stiffer inflation data, climbing bond yields, and uneven demand for exchange-traded funds, all weighing on crypto risk. The top digital coin last changed hands at $79,202, off roughly 0.9%, after a session range from $78,686 up to $81,974.

MARA’s Bitcoin Loss Meets an AI Power Bet as Traders Look Past the Miss

MARA’s Bitcoin Loss Meets an AI Power Bet as Traders Look Past the Miss

MARA Holdings looked split on Tuesday morning, with shares at $13.39 before the U.S. market opened—up about 3.6%. Bitcoin hovered near $80,726, down a bit. Riot Platforms, CleanSpark, and Core Scientific all showed gains too, though not by the same amount. For MARA, the story is still Bitcoin mining, at least as far as the market’s concerned, despite management’s push for a broader energy-backed data infrastructure label.

CleanSpark (CLSK) $378 Million Loss Puts Bitcoin Treasury and AI Data Center Pivot on the Clock

CleanSpark, Inc. posted a deeper net loss for its fiscal second quarter, hit by sliding bitcoin prices that knocked down the value of its digital assets.

Revenue slipped to $136.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, compared with $181.7 million in the same period last year. Net loss ballooned to $378.3 million, or $1.52 per basic share, from $138.8 million, or 49 cents.

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

Strategy Inc Bitcoin Sale Signal Puts Michael Saylor’s MSTR Stock Back in the Spotlight

Michael Saylor, executive chairman at Strategy Inc, tried to recast a potential bitcoin sale as a tactical move to shore up the company’s capital structure—rather than a step back from its bitcoin-focused playbook—after he floated the idea that Strategy could “sell some Bitcoin to fund a dividend.” His comments come as others with bitcoin on their balance sheets, like Nakamoto, Empery Digital, and Sequans, have already trimmed their bitcoin stashes amid the latest crypto slide.

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Bitcoin Supply Shock? Saylor’s Latest Buy Puts Strategy Ahead Of BlackRock

Strategy Inc. picked up an additional $255 million in bitcoin last week—a smaller haul than some prior buys, but enough to keep Michael Saylor’s firm out in front of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust. The move also intensified the ongoing debate about whether big players are soaking up too much of the available supply. Bitcoin hovered near $77,660, a touch lower on the day, still flirting with that $80,000 mark traders have circled.
