Mt. Gox

Bitcoin’s drop into the mid-$67,000s — driven by ETF outflows, Mt. Gox movements, geopolitical tension, and Strategy’s first BTC sale in years—triggered an outsized selloff in crypto-linked stocks.

Bitcoin price fell below $68,000 amid a mix of symbolic selling by Strategy, heavy ETF outflows, renewed Mt. Gox activity, and rising geopolitical tension tied to Iran–U.S. developments.

Mt. Gox moved 10,422 BTC worth $739 million ahead of its 2026 repayment deadline, triggering market jitters and contributing to Bitcoin’s drop below $69,000 despite no confirmed selling activity.

From Mt. Gox’s collapse to a defining protest, Kolin Burges’ stand became one of Bitcoin’s most enduring symbols of accountability.
