    ..No, BTC didn't fall because Trump signed the Executive Order for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

    ..the market already knew that.

    ..but what the market assumed was that a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would involve the US Govt buying Bitcoins. That is not in the Order, at least not yet: it simply involves a transfer of seized BTC from criminal activities, without burdening taxpayers.

    ..it seems it is still a bridge too far to gain political will to allow for taxpayers money to be used to buy BTC as reserves. So Saylor bears the brunt of the sell-off.

    ..given this and the likelihood of challenging market for techs, a short term hold on BTC could be more painful ahead.

    BREAKING: MicroStrategy stock, $MSTR, falls over -7% after President Trump establishes the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
