\nBitcoin Price Crashes Toward $61,000 as Bloodbath Engulfs Crypto Stocks<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Bitcoin price is trading near $61,500 today, extending a decline that has erased more than half its value since the token hit a record high<\/a> in October 2025. The sell-off is rippling through publicly traded crypto companies, where losses have at times outpaced Bitcoin itself.<\/p>\n

The token fell to $61,877 earlier this week \u2014 its lowest level since June 11 \u2014 before sliding further. Bitcoin price briefly broke below $60,000 on June 5, a level not seen since late 2024, before a partial recovery that has since stalled.<\/p>\n

Deutsche Bank attributed Bitcoin\u2019s weakness to a convergence of institutional pressures. A shift in Federal Reserve expectations \u2014 the bank now forecasts two rate hikes in 2026, reversing earlier expectations for cuts \u2014 has removed a key pillar of institutional demand. Higher rates make risk assets less attractive relative to cash and bonds.<\/p>\n

Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen six consecutive weeks of net outflows totaling roughly $6 billion, with $2.4 billion leaving in June alone. Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure described<\/a> Bitcoin as \u201cincreasingly trading like an institutional risk asset,\u201d with the marginal buyer now an ETF allocator or corporate treasury rather than a retail participant. When those buyers exit, the price follows.<\/p>\n

Competition from artificial intelligence has added pressure. U.S. tech giants are on track<\/a> to spend more than $700 billion on AI infrastructure in 2026, and investors are treating Bitcoin and AI-linked equities as competing destinations for speculative capital. A tech stock sell-off that began Monday pulled Bitcoin price lower in tandem, with the Nasdaq 100 falling as much as 3.4%.<\/p>\n

Blood in the streets for the bitcoin price and for crypto stocks<\/h2>\n

The pain has been acute for companies that built their business models around Bitcoin accumulation.<\/p>\n

Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, has fallen for five consecutive trading sessions and is down more than 20% over the past week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stock is off 26% over the past 30 days. A major catalyst came in late May when Strategy sold<\/a> 32 BTC for approximately $2.5 million \u2014 its first Bitcoin sale since 2022 \u2014 to cover distributions on its preferred stock. The move shattered the company\u2019s \u201cbuy only, never sell\u201d identity and spooked investors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strategy carries five series of preferred stock with combined annual dividend obligations estimated at $750\u2013$800 million, and its cash reserves have fallen from $2.25 billion at the start of 2026 to around $900 million.<\/p>\n

Strive, the Bitcoin treasury company backed by Vivek Ramaswamy, has also taken a hit. The company purchased<\/a> 2,500 BTC for $185 million at an average price of $74,092 \u2014 well above current levels \u2014 leaving it sitting on paper losses. Shares of Strive (ASST) dropped after the purchase was disclosed, a sign that investors are skeptical of aggressive accumulation strategies at elevated cost bases.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Strive now holds roughly 19,864 BTC valued at approximately $1.3 billion, and like Strategy, carries preferred dividend obligations that must be paid regardless of where Bitcoin price trades.<\/p>\n

Coinbase fell 2.5% on Tuesday. Stablecoin issuer Circle dropped more than 4%.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the bitcoin price is $61,205.<\/p>\n
