Bitcoin price today suddenly plummeted sharply to the $70,000 range, causing over $646 million to be liquidated.



The cryptocurrency market started the new week in gloom as Bitcoin's price continued to decline sharply. The world's largest cryptocurrency tumbled when news broke that Strategy, the publicly traded company holding the largest amount of Bitcoin in the world, sold BTC for the first time since 2022.

According to the 8-K filing released on June 1, Strategy sold 32 BTC from May 26 to 31, at an average price of $77,135, earning $2.5 million. Although only selling 0.0038% of its Bitcoin holdings, Strategy's action caused a major shock in the market.

Bitcoin sharply dropped from the $74,000 range down straight to $70,000. According to data from CoinMarketCap and TradingView, at 7 a.m. on June 2 (Vietnam time), each BTC was traded around $71,387, down 2.88% compared to yesterday.
