Bitcoin fell sharply by 5.6% to $67,400 amid a major shift of institutional capital from cryptocurrencies to artificial intelligence. This move follows Google's launch of an $80 billion AI fund, backed by Berkshire Hathaway, signaling one of the largest reallocations from digital assets to AI infrastructure. Crypto treasury inflows plummeted 95% in May, reflecting a liquidity drought and reduced buy-side pressure. The trend suggests a significant portfolio rebalancing by asset managers and corporate treasuries toward AI, putting pressure on crypto prices and testing Bitcoin's support levels.
