Jim Cramer claimed on CNBC he 'heard' Donald Trump plans to buy Bitcoin at $60,000 to fill a US Bitcoin reserve—despite no official confirmation or evidence, and no such reserve yet existing. Meanwhile, Binance’s SAFU fund is actively accumulating BTC.

Bitcoin plunged from ~$84,000 to ~$60,000 last week—the largest weekly drop recently—despite a partial rebound to ~$70,000. On-chain data shows strong risk-off behavior: massive ETF outflows ($12.4B from IBIT, $2.1B from GBTC), rising BTC inflows to exchanges (peaking at 22,800 BTC), and sharp USDT outflows ($450M), signaling broad-based selling by institutions and retail amid deep bearish sentiment.

Some traders argue that Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply is effectively diluted off-chain through ETFs, futures, swaps, wrapped tokens, and structured products—creating multiple financial claims per onchain coin, akin to gold's derivatives boom in the 1980s.

Robert Kiyosaki faces intense criticism after contradicting his past public statements: while repeatedly claiming on X (formerly Twitter) to have bought BTC at $105k–$117k and vowing to keep buying regardless of price, he recently stated he stopped purchasing bitcoin at $6,000 — a claim widely dismissed as implausible given BTC’s sustained high valuation. The crypto community accuses him of dishonesty, with critics citing years of unfulfilled predictions and inconsistent narratives.

Bitcoin's Fear and Greed Index has crashed to 6—the lowest since August 2019—amid a $30,000 price plunge and sustained market panic. While extreme fear often precedes rebounds, historical parallels (e.g., 2019–2020) suggest recovery may take time amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, market instability, and broader asset volatility.
