JAKARTA - The price of Bitcoin (BTC) is still moving under pressure after the President of the United States, Donald Trump, officially signed an executive order raising global import tariffs to 15%.
Based on the latest analysis from Financial Expert Ajaib, Panji Yudha, in the last 24 hours Bitcoin (BTC) weakened 2.11% to the level of 66,745 US dollars or around Rp. 1.12 billion.
According to him, Bitcoin is facing high volatility after the global import tariff policy was raised from the previous 10% to 15%, which will take effect on February 24, 2026 for a period of 150 days.
The aggressive move comes just hours after the US Supreme Court overturned the government's emergency trade policy.
"Market uncertainty is increasing because this policy is implemented just before Trump's official visit to Beijing on March 31, 2026," Panji said in his statement.
However, in addition to macro sentiments, Panji also mentioned that the pressure on Bitcoin prices was exacerbated by several internal industry factors, such as:
Cadangan Miner Liquidation
One of the major crypto mining companies reportedly emptied all of their Bitcoin reserves (0 BTC). The company sold the latest production of 189.8 BTC and recorded a net reduction in reserves of 943.1 BTC. This step adds supply pressure to the market.
ETF Outflows Continue
Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US have recorded net outflows for five consecutive weeks with total withdrawals reaching 3.8 billion US dollars. This reflects the de-risking strategy of institutional investors amid rising geopolitical tensions.
For today's trading, Bitcoin is expected to move in the range of US$65,000 to US$68,000 or equivalent to Rp1.09 - Rp1.14 billion.
