Bitcoin Holds Above $65,000 as War Fears Persist
Bitcoin faced renewed pressure after tensions rose between the United States and Iran.
The cryptocurrency fell to around $63,000 over the weekend following reports of U.S. military action. However, it later recovered and traded above $65,000.
The broader crypto market also saw volatility, yet Bitcoin remained relatively stable compared to previous geopolitical shocks.
Market participants monitored developments in the Middle East while also watching macroeconomic data.
Strategy’s stock, MSTR, traded down less than 1% in premarket activity. The move reflected Bitcoin’s steady price action during the same period.
The company’s continued accumulation comes as investors assess both geopolitical risks and crypto market conditions.
