Bitcoin fell below $82,000 after disappointing the U.S. Reserve Bank, facing $1.13 billion in liquidations.
Bitcoin price has recently faced downward pressure, falling to $80,186 and is currently trading around $82,250, reflecting a more than 5% drop from previous levels. The decline follows President Trump's announcement on March 7 of the creation of a bitcoin reserve using confiscated cryptocurrencies from criminal cases. Instead of buying bitcoin in the market, this approach led to disappointment among investors who had hoped for government savings to signal institutional support. This shift in expectations has dampened investor sentiment, especially because there were hopes that government purchases could push the price higher.
