Bitcoin price slipped for the past four straight days as concerns about the ongoing ETF outflows and the falling odds that the CLARITY Act will be signed into law this year. The BTC/USD pair was trading at 63,400, down from this month’s high of 65,330.

Bitcoin has wavered this month as demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs waned. Data shows that these funds have shed over $100 million in assets this week, a big reversal after they added $853 million in assets last week. ETF inflows are usually a sign that demand is rising among institutional and retail investors.

Bitcoin has also struggled after Strategy paused buying BTC and started selling. It sold coins worth over $108 million last week, continuing a trend that it started last month when the value of its preferred shares dropped. The company hopes to restart its Bitcoin buying later this year.

Other top Bitcoin holders have started selling their coins to fund their AI pivot. This includes Bitcoin mining companies like MARA Holdings and Riot Platforms. This selling will likely continue as they take advantage of the AI boom.
