Bitcoin Drop Could Shake Precious Metals Markets
Renowned investor Michael Burry has issued a warning that a significant decline in Bitcoin's price could prompt institutional investors and corporate treasuries to offload gold and silver holdings worth up to $10 billion in an effort to offset crypto-related losses.
Underlying Weakness in Bitcoin Exposed
Burry pointed out that Bitcoin's drop below $73,000 has already revealed its structural fragility, posing risks to companies holding large Bitcoin positions. If prices fall further toward $50,000, some mining operations could potentially face insolvency.
Bitcoin Fails as Digital Safe-Haven Asset
Burry also highlighted that Bitcoin has not proven itself as a viable alternative to gold or a true digital safe-haven asset. He described the recent ETF-fueled price surge as speculative rather than indicative of real-world adoption or long-term value.
