Bitcoin Flash Crashes Below $70K, Triggers $766M Liquidations on June 2

BTC-4.57%
On June 2, Bitcoin briefly dropped below $70,000 for the first time since April, according to trading data, triggering $766 million in liquidations. The price decline coincided with Mt. Gox transferring 10,306 BTC worth $731 million to new wallets, sparking concerns about upcoming creditor distributions scheduled for October 2026. The exchange still controls 34,500 BTC from its collapsed operations. Meanwhile, MicroStrategy sold 32 BTC worth $2.5 million during the selloff. CEO Michael Saylor explained the sale as a liquidity demonstration aimed at traditional financial institutions, arguing it proves Bitcoin can function as a practical corporate treasury reserve.
