MSTR Stock Drops 7% as Bitcoin Prices Plummet Below $60,000
Bitcoin prices plummeted this week, dropping below $60,000 and leaving its losses at nearly 18%.
This decline triggered a wider sell-off in the cryptocurrency market, with the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) experiencing its worst week on record at an 18% loss.
Strategy Inc. (MSTR), a leading corporate Bitcoin holder, sold $2.5 million worth of Bitcoin to fund structural dividend payments, breaking its three-year streak of exclusive accumulation.
This move has spooked crypto investors who fear it could signal future liquidations.
