Bitcoin fell on Monday for the first time in three days after marking the best daily profit in 2025 on Sunday following US President Donald Trump’s statements on the strategic crypto reserve.
Major companies continue to expand their holdings of the cryptocurrency, which boosts its institutional value and long-term confidence.
The Price
Bitcoin fell 3.3% at Bitstamp today to $91,135, with a session-high at $94,422.
On Sunday, bitcoin spiked 9.6%, the largest daily profit since November 2024, away from three-month lows after Trump’s supportive remarks.
Crypto Market Value
The market value of cryptocurrencies fell $140 billion on Monday to a total of $3115 trillion.
US Strategic Reserve
US President Donald Trump said on the Truth Social platform that his executive order issued in January on crypto assets would create a crypto reserve that includes bitcoin, ethereum, ripple, solana, and cardano.
The statement catapulted public confidence in the crypto market once more and ended a long selling cycle.
MetaPlanet
Japan’s MetaPlanet corporation continued to expand its holdings of bitcoin, adding 156 more units this week at a value of $13.4 million, with an average price of $85,890, with the company’s total holdings rising to 2391 units valued at $196.2 million.
This mirrors US Microstrategy’s crypto hoarding strategy, and shows increasing institutional confidence in bitcoin as a strategic reserve.
