Investors pulled $3.4 billion from Bitcoin ETFs — the biggest selloff since the funds launched — while a major corporate holder also started selling Bitcoin, pushing the price below $71,000.

## Idea

A record $3.4 billion has been pulled from Bitcoin ETFs over 11 straight sessions — the longest redemption streak on record — as investors rotate money into the AI-driven stock rally. On top of that, Strategy's first-ever public Bitcoin sale adds selling pressure from a major corporate holder. When both institutional ETF investors and large corporate holders are heading for the exits at the same time, it signals deepening weakness. This double wave of selling could push Bitcoin even lower in the near term.
