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.

Why Oil-Rich Investors Are Fueling Bitcoin’s Next Liquidity Wave
Oil‑linked investors from the Gulf are increasingly allocating capital to Bitcoin through regulated spot ETFs, notably via sovereign wealth funds and family offices. In Q3 2025 Abu Dhabi’s investment council raised its IBIT holdings to roughly $518 million, illustrating the scale of the inflows. These allocations are routed through institutional channels that create and redeem ETF shares, tightening bid‑ask spreads and deepening market depth. The trend signals a shift from retail‑driven volatility toward a more structured liquidity foundation.
