Yahoo Finance highlights steep losses in bitcoin miners like Hut 8, while CoinDesk notes a 47% slide in IREN that B. Riley now frames as a buying opportunity, citing strong funding and GPU ramp optionality. Separately, ARK Invest has been adding to Coinbase and other listed crypto names into this drawdown, suggesting some institutional investors view the equity selloff as overextended relative to underlying network activity.

Crypto majors extend post-Fed pullback as macro risk keeps pressure on risk assets
Bitcoin (~$85.9K, -2.5%) and Ethereum (~$2.95K, -3.6%) are falling for a fourth straight session, continuing the retreat that began after last week’s Fed rate cut and amid renewed anxiety over 2026 policy paths. Reuters and Yahoo Finance note that traders are de-risking ahead of a ‘data dump’ of delayed U.S. jobs, retail sales and inflation figures that could shift rate-cut expectations.
Macro backdrop: Fed cuts done for now, BOJ/ECB/BoE in focus
Despite the Fed’s third rate cut of 2025 and a softer dollar, crypto has failed to mount a sustained relief rally, suggesting the bullish impulse from easier policy is fading. News from Investing.com, Yahoo Finance and FXStreet stress that this week’s U.S. jobs and inflation prints plus the Bank of Japan’s widely expected hike—historically associated with BTC drawdowns—are keeping traders defensive across digital assets.
Digital asset treasuries and crypto-proxy stocks enter ‘Darwinian phase’
Yahoo Finance reports that bitcoin‑heavy corporates such as Strategy Inc. have been hit hard since October’s BTC crash, with mNAVs compressing toward 1x. This is forcing balance‑sheet hoarders to build cash reserves and could accelerate consolidation if BTC remains range‑bound.
BTC extends post-October correction amid crash fears
Bitcoin trades near $88.5K, down about 2% on the day and far below its $126K October peak as investors digest warnings from Michael Saylor and others about potential index exclusions and a $1 trillion market drawdown. Extreme fear readings, heavy liquidations and concerns that corporate bitcoin-treasury buying has largely run its course are reinforcing expectations for a deeper correction even as ETF flows are viewed as the next major upside driver (Forbes, Yahoo Finance, CoinDesk).
Digital asset treasury stocks hit a "Darwinian phase"
Shares of bitcoin and ether heavy treasury companies such as Strategy and other DAT names have plunged 30%–60% since October’s liquidation event, with some now trading near or below the value of their underlying crypto holdings (Yahoo Finance, Forbes, CoinDesk). Analysts describe a shakeout in which only firms with sustainable cash-generating businesses alongside their token treasuries are likely to survive, while MSCI’s pending index-rule decision adds another overhang for Saylor’s Strategy in early 2026.
Digital asset treasury stocks enter ‘Darwinian phase’ after October BTC crash
Yahoo Finance reports that Bitcoin’s sharp October reversal has pushed many crypto‑treasury companies into deep unrealized losses and widened discounts to their underlying holdings. Strategy (Saylor’s firm) has been at the center of the storm, prompting warnings that an MSCI index exclusion could cause ‘chaos’ and amplify downside if BTC’s slide accelerates.
Bitcoin slips but holds consolidation range near $90K–$92K
BTC is roughly flat on the day around $90K after a brief post‑Fed bounce faded, as traders digest a cautious U.S. rate‑cut path and looming Bank of Japan tightening. Articles from BeInCrypto and Yahoo Finance frame recent price action as a cooldown and base‑building phase after October’s $126K peak, with on‑chain data showing easing selling pressure and ETF flows modestly positive but far below prior highs.
Long‑term Bitcoin narratives remain extremely bullish despite short‑term consolidation
New analyses from Yahoo Finance and 24/7 Wall St. sketch 2030 scenarios ranging from $120K–$220K in a pessimistic case to $750K–$1M if ETF assets climb toward $2T and Bitcoin cements its role as macro hedge and collateral asset. The debate underscores a widening gap between subdued current price action and aggressive upside forecasts tied to the 2028 halving, sovereign adoption, and growing portfolio allocations like Brazil’s largest asset manager recommending up to a 3% BTC stake.
Macro backdrop: dovish Fed and softer dollar support long-term crypto thesis
TradingEconomics and Yahoo Finance report gold near record highs and the dollar index hovering near multi-week lows after the Fed’s third 25 bp cut and new T-bill purchases. While today’s tape is risk-off for crypto, the combination of easier Fed policy and added dollar liquidity is seen as supportive for longer-term Bitcoin upside in on-chain valuation work from Bitcoin Magazine.
Crypto retreats as AI-driven tech selloff weighs on risk assets
Bitcoin trades around $90,246, down roughly 2.5%, and Ethereum falls nearly 4.8% as concerns over an AI spending bubble and weak tech sentiment—highlighted by sharp drops in Oracle and Broadcom—spill into digital assets (Reuters, Yahoo Finance, CoinDesk). Broader risk-off flows and elevated volatility in crypto proxies such as Strategy Inc. (MSTR) are amplifying downside pressure.
AI earnings shock from Oracle weighs on crypto and tech-linked risk assets
Oracle’s 12–15% stock plunge on surging AI-related capex and a revenue miss revived ‘AI bubble’ concerns, knocking Nasdaq futures and spilling over into Bitcoin and crypto miners, which fell alongside other high-beta plays (Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Investing.com). The episode highlights how tightly crypto is currently trading with the broader AI and tech risk complex.
Bitcoin dips below $90K intraday as leverage washes out
BTC is trading near $89,700, off about 2.5% on the day after briefly breaking below $90,000 in Asian trade. News from Reuters, Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance highlight that over $440M–$500M of derivatives liquidations around the Fed decision and overnight selling have accelerated the move, even as on-chain and ETF flow data suggest medium-term structural support remains.
Bitcoin slips back toward $90K despite Fed cut and macro tailwinds
BTC trades around $90,264, down roughly 2%, after briefly reclaiming $94K on expectations of a ‘dovish’ Fed cut. News from Yahoo Finance, Reuters and CoinDesk note that hawkish messaging, lingering fears from October’s $19B leverage wipeout, and renewed AI-growth worries have capped any post-Fed relief rally.
Fed’s ‘hawkish cut’ reinforces Bitcoin’s macro sensitivity versus gold
Coverage from Yahoo Finance, Investing.com and TradingEconomics highlights how Bitcoin initially jumped toward $94K on the Fed cut but quickly faded as guidance implied a cautious path for future easing. By contrast, gold pushed back near record highs above $4,200/oz, underscoring that BTC is currently trading more like a high-beta macro asset than a defensive inflation hedge.
