(Bloomberg) — Bitcoin\u2019s selloff extended into Wednesday after Strategy Inc.\u2019s sale of a tiny portion of its massive cryptocurrency stockpile rattled sentiment and widened the token\u2019s divergence from record-setting technology shares.<\/p>\n

The largest cryptocurrency fell as much as 4% to $64,692 in late New York trading, its lowest since Feb. 28, deepening a drop that has this week erased more than $160 billion in market value. The slide began earlier in the week after Strategy sold about $2.5 million worth of Bitcoin from a holding now valued at around $56 billion.<\/p>\n

The sale was tiny by almost any financial measure, just 32 tokens from its 843,706-coin hoard, but it punctured the market\u2019s belief in chairman Michael Saylor\u2019s long-standing \u201cnever sell\u201d stance, said Rajiv Sawhney, head of international portfolio management at Wave Digital Assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cStrategy selling 32 BTC for $2.5 million is financially trivial, a rounding error against its $62 billion position,\u201d Sawhney said. \u201cWhat it signals to the market, given Bitcoin\u2019s underperformance in recent weeks, matters more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s weakness contrasts sharply with the latest leg higher in equities. The Nasdaq 100 Index climbed to a fresh record on Tuesday, underscoring a growing divergence between the original cryptocurrency and technology stocks. Bitcoin was once treated by many investors as a high-beta proxy for tech, but that relationship has weakened since a market crash in October last year.<\/p>\n

The rotation has been especially stark as artificial-intelligence stocks continue to attract capital. The Nasdaq 100 is up 41% over the past 12 months, while Bitcoin is down 38% and sits 48% below last year\u2019s peak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been rotating some capital from Bitcoin and digital assets into AI equities,\u201d said Carney Mak, a partner at FXHB Asset Management. \u201cAI currently offers a more compelling risk-reward profile relative to digital assets, which has led some investors to rebalance portions of their portfolios.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glassnode data suggest the composition of buyers has shifted since May. During the rally early last month, accumulation was led by holders with 1,000 to 10,000 Bitcoin, a cohort often associated with larger institutions. So far in June, those buyers have become less active, while smaller wallets and the largest whales have shown greater willingness to accumulate into the market weakness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
