Bitcoin Holds Above $90,000 Despite Venezuela Strikes and Market Liquidations

The US strikes on Venezuela are unlikely to cause a significant sell-off in Bitcoin. The event was planned and did not surprise market participants.

Bitcoin remained stable above $90,000, with a small increase of 1.50%, reaching $91,320.
About $60 million in Bitcoin positions were liquidated recently, predominantly from short positions.

Historical Context

Past conflicts have led to quick price drops, as seen in June 2025 when Bitcoin fell 3% due to events in Tehran.

Federal Debt and Genesis Day

The US national debt exceeded $38 trillion, coinciding with the celebration of "Genesis Day," marking Bitcoin's first block mining.
Community figures like Paolo Ardoino and Sam Callahan highlighted Bitcoin's symbolic value against fiat currencies.

The immediate response has been calm, with hedge funds and retail traders closely monitoring social media and onchain data.
