- U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly $3.45 billion in withdrawals across 11 straight trading sessions through late May, the largest monthly ETF exodus of 2026
- The numbers are small in isolation, 32 BTC represents 0.004% of Strategy’s total holdings of 843,706 Bitcoin, purchased at an average bitcoin price of $75,699 per coin
- The defunct Japanese exchange, which collapsed in 2014 after a hack that wiped out roughly 850,000 BTC, has been repaying creditors in phases since 2024
Summary
Bitcoin price fell below $68,000 amid a mix of symbolic selling by Strategy, heavy ETF outflows, renewed Mt. Gox activity, and rising geopolitical tension tied to Iran–U.S. developments. Bitcoin price has fallen below $68,000 on Tuesday, its lowest level since early April, battered by a multitude of forces. The catalyst that some think rattled markets was a disclosure from Strategy filed with the SEC on Monday. The sale is intended to fund distributions on STRC, Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock carrying an 11.5% annual variable dividend. The numbers are small in isolation, 32 BTC represents 0.004% of Strategy’s total holdings of 843,706 Bitcoin, purchased at an average bitcoin price of $75,699 per coin.
