Bitcoin's price plummeted by 2.9% to $62,884.96 on August 1, 2026, marking a notable setback after a recent series of declines.

This drop came alongside a surge in trading volume, which was 2.23 times the 30-day average, signaling significant selling pressure in the market.

The catalyst behind this move was Strategy's announcement on July 31 that it plans to sell up to $5 billion worth of Bitcoin, a decision revealed during the company's earnings call following weaker-than-expected financial results.
