Bitcoin falls 2% as major crypto firms shift focus to AI, pressuring institutional support.

Bitcoin dropped 2% to around $64,200 as major companies that once supported cryptocurrency are now shifting their focus to artificial intelligence (AI). This shift is causing institutional investors to sell bitcoin to free up liquidity or invest in AI-related trades, leading to a broader market decline of 2% and more coins falling than rising. The move by firms like Strategy and miners such as MARA, which have rebranded around AI, reduces corporate enthusiasm for bitcoin, potentially accelerating liquidations in the coming weeks. Bitcoin currently hovers just above its 50-day moving average, indicating a balance between sellers and buyers, with future price direction hinging on whether this support holds.
