Bitcoin crashes below $65,000 amid $1.86B liquidations and Saylor sell‑off
Bitcoin slipped under the $65,000 psychological barrier on June 3, sparking a 12% weekly decline. The drop triggered roughly $1.86 billion in leveraged futures liquidations and a $2.97 billion outflow from spot Bitcoin ETFs over ten sessions. Michael Saylor added pressure by selling 32 BTC, valued at about $2.5 million.

Bitcoin ETFs Failed a Critical Holiday Stress Test as $1.29 Billion Vanished Through “Tactical” Positioning
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of roughly $1.29 billion over the twelve‑day holiday window from Dec. 15 to Dec. 31. The outflows were uneven, with about $812 million flowing in on two days while the remaining days saw $2.10 billion exit, and the IBIT fund alone contributed nearly half of the total outflow. Bitcoin’s price hovered around $89,000, reflecting limited momentum despite the sizable sell pressure. Analysts view the episode as a stress test of the nascent ETF‑driven allocation model during thin‑liquidity periods.
