Financial Insights That Matter
Bitcoin extended its recent retreat Thursday, with the price of the leading cryptocurrency falling in the wake of President Donald Trump’s latest tariff announcement.
Bitcoin slipped below $82,000 before edging just above that level after the late-Wednesday news of new tariffs that shook global markets and eroded investors’ interest in risk assets. (Read Investopedia’s live coverage of today’s markets here.)
The news also hit crypto-related stocks. Strategy (MSTR), the Bitcoin buyer that recently changed its name from MicroStrategy, was off more than 7%. Coinbase Global (COIN) fell close to 7%, while Robinhood Markets (HOOD) slipped about 9%.
Crypto mining company Mara Holdings (MARA) fell more than 8%.
Bitcoin’s retreat extends a slide from six-digit prices last seen in February following a runup driven by optimism about cryptocurrency in the wake of Trump’s election.
The total market cap of cryptocurrency, recently around $2.6 trillion, has fallen some 6% over the past 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap data.
