Bitcoin Dips amid Trade Tariff Chaos
Bitcoin briefly dropped below $100,000 over the weekend after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada. Markets didn’t take kindly to the news, causing a temporary sell-off. The price later bounced back above $98,000 after Mexico’s president reached a deal to delay the tariffs for a month.
MicroStrategy Leads the BTC Reserve Trend
Since its initial $250-million Bitcoin purchase in 2020, MicroStrategy has been the poster child for corporate crypto investment. Other companies like Rumble (RUM) and MARA (MARA) have followed suit, stockpiling Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation. Even governments are exploring similar strategies, with Trump’s latest executive order pushing for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve study.
MicroStrategy may have paused, but it’s still “hodling” strong.
