- Bitcoin fell to $60,619, roughly 12.6% below its November 5, 2024 closing price of $69,355.
- Bitcoin ETFs grew from $37 billion in assets under management in January 2025 to over $62 billion at their 2025 peak, fueling Bitcoin’s rise during Trump’s second term.
- Trump Media and Technology Group invested $2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities in July 2025, just before Bitcoin hit a high of $126,080.
- Bitcoin dropped from above $121,000 to $106,000 after a $19 billion liquidation spree in October 2025, and fell to around $88,000 by year‑end.
- Farside reported $1.5 billion net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs in January 2026, contributing to Bitcoin’s continued weakness.
Why it matters: Crypto investors see a 12.6% loss on Bitcoin holdings and face reduced ETF exposure as $1.5 billion exits, while firms that added Bitcoin, like Trump Media, confront devalued assets.
