Bitcoin fell about 3.3% to around $62,229, nearing the $60,000 level due to concerns over Strategy Inc.'s funding model and rising interest rate expectations. Strategy's preferred stock (STRC), used to raise capital for Bitcoin purchases, has traded below its $100 par value since mid-May, signaling stress in the company's capital structure. This raises doubts about Strategy's ability to continue buying Bitcoin, especially after recent bond buybacks and a small Bitcoin sale by CEO Michael Saylor. The uncertainty is pressuring Strategy's shares and spilling over into the broader crypto market, with Ether and Solana also struggling amid a tougher environment for risk assets.
