Bitcoin falls as market jitters continue

The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $70,000 for the first time since President Trump won the election in November 2024. Markets are nervous after wild swings in metals prices and a sell-off of software companies that has now wiped $1tn off share prices. Glenn Dorsey is Head of Client Portfolio Management at Clark Capital in Philadelphia. He told the BBC’s Michelle Fleury that despite those market nerves, company profits have been strong in the last quarter.
