Why Bitcoin is down 3.4% today
Analysis
Bitcoin fell 3.4% over the past 24 hours as risk sentiment weakened amid geopolitical headlines, with CryptoPotato reporting that BTC dipped further on news the Pentagon was reportedly preparing a major “final blow” against Iran. Separately, CoinDesk noted GameStop has been using its $368 million bitcoin position in an options-income strategy, which may have signaled more active hedging/management around a large corporate BTC holding during the move.
