At the World Liberty Financial Forum in Mar‑a‑Lago, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon disclosed he holds a small amount of Bitcoin, as attendees also highlighted a tokenized real‑estate loan deal for a Maldives resort tied to World Liberty Financial and Securitize.

On Wednesday, Glassnode reported that Bitcoin has slipped below its True Market Mean and is now moving toward the Realized Price of about $54,900, with spot and ETF demand remaining weak. The firm said the asset is in a controlled consolidation phase, while the Accumulation Trend Score and negative Spot CVD show sellers dominate order flow. Bitcoin briefly dipped under $66,000 in late Wednesday trading and failed to hold $67,000 on Thursday in Asia, reinforcing a bearish outlook.

David Bailey, Chairman and CEO of Bitcoin treasury firm Nakamoto (Nasdaq: NAKA), has rejected scam accusations after the company’s stock plunged 99% from its May peak.

Macro analyst Lyn Alden told Coin Stories host Nathalie Brunell that bitcoin should not expect a dramatic policy rescue, arguing the next policy shift will look like a gradual balance-sheet expansion rather than a "nuclear" print.

Bitcoin remains range‑bound below $72,000, with $72,000–$74,000 now acting as resistance and the weekly structure tilted bearish, according to analyst Alejandro₿TC. Liquidity data cited by Columbus points to bids at $64,000–$66,000 and interest above $70,000, while the monthly close in 11 days could steer price toward $50,000–$52,000 or higher reclaim levels.

A Bitcoin on-chain gauge tracking short‑term holders has fallen to its deepest oversold level since 2018, a zone historically associated with cycle troughs.

At the World Liberty Forum held this week at Mar-a-Lago, Eric Trump again projected that Bitcoin could eventually climb to $1 million per coin and said he has never been more optimistic about the asset's future. Donald Trump Jr. used the same event to denounce traditional banking as a "Ponzi scheme" and claimed that the Trump family moved into crypto after banks closed hundreds of Trump Organization accounts in early 2021. The brothers also alleged that other conservative clients were "debanked" and positioned their World Liberty Financial project as part of an effort to modernize finance, while Bitcoin traded around $66,258, roughly 50% below its $126,000 peak from last October.
