Bitcoin Plunges to Low, Down 8.7% at $41,300

Update:

  • The reason for the sharp decline wasn't clear. It could be tied to hedging in case of a negative SEC decision regarding approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF.
  • The SEC is expecting to approve a batch of spot ETFs by Jan. 10.
  • There is some concern that even if the ETFs are approved, the decision by the SEC could still be a "sell the news" event.
  • Earlier Microstrategy, Inc. (NASDAQ:MSTR) co-founder and executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, disclosed the sale of 315,000 common shares worth approximately $216 million.
  • Bitcoin hit a low of $40,968 but has since recovered to $42,000
