Why Bitcoin is up 1.6% today
Analysis
Bitcoin rose 1.6% over the past 24 hours as market sentiment benefited from more mainstream framing of Bitcoin-linked equities after TD Cowen initiated coverage on Bitcoin treasury companies and described the “PBTC” segment as an investable equity category (Bitcoin Magazine). The move came despite reports that older Bitcoin whales sold about $271M in BTC, a headline that raised questions about near-term rally durability but did not prevent prices from grinding higher (Cointelegraph).
