Bitcoin Key Level

ETF Outflow Streak

$4.4 billion
$BTC

Bitcoin was recovering tentatively after hitting a 20-month low on Friday below the key $60,000 level, according to Zaye Capital Markets analyst Naeem Aslam. The "fragile" recovery reflects renewed exchange-traded fund inflows after a 13-day $4.4 billion outflow streak, Aslam said in a note. Major crypto holders continue to signal long-term accumulation despite the recent price weakness. The break below $60,000 marked the lowest level for the digital asset since late 2024, intensifying questions about near-term support levels and institutional demand sustainability.

MicroStrategy Inc. ($MSTR) sold 32 Bitcoin for approximately $2.5 million earlier this month, representing roughly meaningfully of its holdings, to fund preferred stock dividends—its first sale since 2022 and a departure from its prior "never sell" stance. The company still holds more than 843,000 BTC on its balance sheet. This small but symbolically important move has intensified scrutiny of $MSTR's leveraged Bitcoin treasury model and its growing reliance on preferred equity financing to support that approach. With the company's share price under pressure, the transaction raises questions about whether the firm is quietly rewriting its treasury playbook. Coinbase Global, Inc. ($COIN) was included among volatile S&P 500 stocks, with B. Riley trimming its price target on June 1. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest added to $COIN and Circle ($CRCL) across two sessions, using a sharp pullback to accumulate positions. Robinhood Markets, Inc. ($HOOD) saw Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Bedell raise his rating on June 5, with Wall Street sentiment turning more bullish on the platform.

$COIN$MSTR$HOOD

The Nasdaq lost 4.2% in its worst day since April 2025 after a blowout jobs report doubled rate hike odds, creating headwinds for risk assets including crypto-related equities. The broader technology selloff pressured digital asset stocks, with chips particularly hard hit. SpaceX's record $75 billion IPO is days away, potentially drawing capital away from other high-beta technology and crypto investments. The jobs market data has shifted Federal Reserve expectations and increased volatility across speculative asset classes. Crypto stocks remain closely correlated with broader technology sector performance, amplifying moves in both directions during periods of macro uncertainty.
