Mt. Gox transferred 10,306 BTC worth $730.78 million to a new wallet after a two-month lull, while 116.3 BTC ($8.2 million) cycled back to its hot wallet as change. Bitcoin slid below $70k to a 7-week low of $69,277 and was last quoted at $69,406, down 4.5% on the day. Despite the decline, exchange outflows of $4.45 billion over three days suggest dip buying, though momentum indicators still point to downside risk toward $65k.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $67,000 for the first time since April as the crypto market logged $1.5 billion in liquidations since Monday. Binance Research said the pullback may be driven less by crypto-specific factors and more by capital rotating into US equities and concentrated S&P 500 themes.

Strategy's sale of 32 BTC for $2.5 million has drawn attention to how bitcoin treasury companies raise cash while trying to keep BTC exposure. The company disclosed in a June 1 SEC filing that the May 26–May 31 transactions were aimed at funding preferred stock distributions, putting dividends, reserves, and borrowing options under closer scrutiny.

Bitcoin fell back below $70,000, trading at $69,570.36 after a 4.24% drop over the past 24 hours, while gold rose 1.26% to 4,533.95. One BTC is currently worth about 15.9 ounces of gold versus a long-term average near 63 ounces, a level described as the most "oversold" reading for 2026. The BTC/gold ratio has slid from over 30 ounces per BTC in 2025 to roughly 15–16 now, highlighting notable underperformance against the metal.

Bitcoin dropped under $70,000 after failing to hold above $70,500, and it later printed a low at $66,111 before consolidating. Price remains below the 100-hour simple moving average, with a bearish trend line capping rebounds near $68,000. A breakdown below $66,000 could open the door to $65,000 and $64,200, while resistance is seen at $68,500 and $70,000.

Bitcoin moved below $72,000 after Michael Saylor-led Strategy disclosed its first Bitcoin sale in more than three and a half years. The transaction involved 32 BTC worth about $2.5 million, while the company still reports holdings of 843,706 BTC acquired at a total cost of $63,86 billion.

Bitcoin fell under $69,000 as heavier selling pressure coincided with a notable on-chain move tied to Mt. Gox. On June 2, 10,300 BTC left Mt. Gox-linked addresses within hours, while exchange reserves on Binance and Bitfinex rose, adding to near-term supply uncertainty.

A South African High Court held that bitcoin may be treated in law as "capital" and a "negotiable instrument," backing the South African Reserve Bank's 2022 seizure of trader Square Mangundhla's 1,680 BTC. The decision was delivered on June 1 and said bitcoin's value, speculative use, and acceptance by some merchants support classifying it as a financial asset. The ruling also contrasts with a late-May joint SARB and FSCA statement that cryptocurrencies are not legal tender.
