Bitcoin's fall could be linked to Trump and Fed disagreement

On Sunday, December 22, the bitcoin price fell below the $96,000 mark, hitting a one-week low of $95,135.

Analysts attribute the recent price fluctuations to investors taking profits from bitcoin's rapid growth amid heightened global economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin hit an intraday low of $95.135

The decline may have followed Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's statement that rate cuts will slow in 2025. Powell also emphasized that the U.S. central bank is prohibited from holding bitcoin as a reserve asset. Since his remarks last week, bitcoin has fallen more than 11% from its Dec. 17 peak of $108,364.

Despite the current decline, experts remain optimistic about bitcoin's future. According to some predictions, BTC could rise to $150,000 or even more by 2025, helped by growing institutional interest and favorable regulatory policies under the Trump administration.

Meanwhile, the price drop on Sunday triggered $258.26 million in liquidation in the derivatives markets, including $30.12 million from long bitcoin positions.

Some crypto market participants see the decline as a healthy correction within an extensive uptrend, forcing caution.

Jerome Powell ruled out keeping bitcoins on the US Federal Reserve's balance sheet

Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell has said that legal restrictions under the Federal Reserve Act preclude bitcoins from being added to the US central bank's balance sheet.
Jerome Powell (Jerome Powell) commented on the position of the financial regulator at a press conference dedicated to the reduction of the key interest rate. In response to reporters' questions, Powell explained that the Federal Reserve Act limits the types of financial assets that can be held by the country's central bank, and the Fed does not intend to make any legislative proposals to promote the adoption of bitcoin as a reserve asset.

“The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the ownership of securities and other money market assets, including U.S. currency in circulation and reserves held by commercial banks. However, it does not authorize us to own and hold bitcoins. Any changes to the law should be considered by Congress, but the Fed is not interested in such amendments,” Powell said.

The announcement caused the bitcoin exchange rate to fall 3% - from $103,700 to $100,241 - in less than an hour.

Analysts predict bitcoin will reach the $800,000 mark by 2025, with a market capitalization of $15 trillion, driven by strategic reserves, institutional acceptance of bitcoin, and geopolitical demand.

JPMorgan: mining companies are copying MicroStrategy's bitcoin strategy

Public mining companies began to implement a strategy to acquire bitcoins for the balance on the example of MicroStrategy. This is according to a report by JPMorgan, writes CoinDesk.

To finance operating costs, firms are resorting to bond and equity offerings, forgoing sales of mined coins. This is due to pressure on profitability following halving and rising hash rates.

Experts have estimated that miners have raised more than $10 billion since January, surpassing the previous high of $9.5 billion in 2021.

JPMorgan recalled that the bitcoin strategy was implemented by MARA. The firm owns 40,435 BTC and ranks second in this indicator after MicroStrategy (423,650 BTC).

The emergence of the BTC-ETF in the US has provided institutional investors with a more direct way to take exposure to bitcoin. Previously, shares of mining companies served a similar purpose. As a result, the growth rate of the latter has slowed down, experts emphasized.

On December 8, a similar proposal was put forward to holders of equity securities of Amazon.

Currently, only 0.01% of public companies in the world own the first cryptocurrency, according to OKG Research.

Bitcoin Soars Past $100K: A New Era of Cryptocurrency Awaits!

Bitcoin has surged 126% since January, hitting $100,000 for the first time on December 5, following strong demand for Bitcoin ETFs, April's halving, and Donald Trump's election win. The cryptocurrency also reached an all-time high of $104,000 shortly after.

This year, over $31 billion flowed into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, while supply tightened due to the halving. Trump's victory has fueled speculation about a national Bitcoin reserve and corporate adoption, notably by MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor. His recent nominations for pro-crypto figures to key regulatory positions could ease industry restrictions.

Bitcoin's market cap now exceeds $2 trillion, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory.
