BEARISH 📉 : Bitcoin Decline Hits Crypto-Exposed Company Stocks Hard

The recent downturn in Bitcoin (BTC) is significantly impacting publicly listed companies that have invested heavily in the cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin's ongoing decline, hovering near $65,000, has caused stock prices of crypto-exposed firms to drop sharply.
The volatility in digital assets is affecting companies holding Bitcoin and other tokens, with concerns about broader sector stress.
Many firms had bet on the long-term appreciation of digital assets, but current market conditions have shifted.
Investor anxiety over AI stocks and uncertainty regarding Fed interest rate cuts are affecting risk assets overall.
As a result, Bitcoin has reached its lowest level since October 2024, pressuring companies reliant on digital assets.

Impact on Major Companies

MicroStrategy, the largest corporate BTC holder, saw its shares plummet from around $457 in July to $106.
The company revised its 2025 earnings outlook, citing weakness in Bitcoin prices, with expected results ranging from a $6.3 billion profit to a $5.5 billion loss.
Other firms like UK-based Smarter Web Company, Nakamoto Inc, and Japan’s Metaplanet also experienced significant share declines.
Crypto-related firms holding other tokens also faced pressure: Alt5 Sigma dropped 8.4%, SharpLink Gaming fell by 8%, and Forward Industries slid nearly 6%.
