Bitcoin price news: BTC gains, but quickly retreats as Trump tariffs ruled illegal by Supreme Court
Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down President Trump's tariff regime, citing a lack of historical precedent and excessive executive authority. Bitcoin initially reacted by jumping about 2% past $68,000, but this gain was swiftly reversed, with the price returning just below $67,000, reflecting the market's tendency for immediate selling after modest upward moves. This crypto volatility contrasted with stock performance, as the Nasdaq rose 0.6%. The market reaction occurred after the release of mixed U.S. economic data showing stagflationary signs: Q4 2025 GDP growth was a modest 1.4%, while core PCE inflation rose to 3.0% year-over-year, leading strategists to believe the Federal Reserve will remain cautious with monetary policy.
