Bitcoin keeps falling alongside stocks
Meanwhile, Strategy continues to accumulate the world’s largest cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization value. Recently, Saylor’s company acquired 22,048 $BTC worth almost $2 billion. Now, Strategy holds a total of 528,185 $BTC.
At the moment, this mammoth half a million Bitcoins is equal to $40,678,141,365 in fiat, which is more than $3 billion less than it was roughly a week ago. Over the weekend, Bitcoin suffered a painful blow, falling by almost 10% as it lost the $82,650 level and landed at $74,700. By now, Bitcoin has logged a small rebound, recovering to $76,640 per coin.
That gigantic fall came as a reaction to the trade tariffs implemented by US president Donald Trump as of April 5 but they were announced earlier. However, prior to the weekend, Bitcoin showed impressive resilience as it continued to held way above the $80,000 level, outperforming major stock indexes, including Nasdaq 100. Many Bitcoin influencers believed then that $BTC had decoupled from stocks. But the current further crash of Bitcoin shows that it has hardly done so.
