Why Bitcoin is down 1.6% today

Analysis

Bitcoin fell 1.6% over the past 24 hours as selling-pressure headlines weighed on sentiment, led by reports that miner Bitdeer sold its entire BTC treasury, reducing holdings to zero (Cointelegraph). Risk-off concerns were also reinforced by a separate report about Discord banning Bitcoin and crypto discussions, which added to regulatory/platform uncertainty (Cointelegraph).
