Bitcoin Dips Below $73K, Closing in on 16-Month Low

TL;DR Summary
Bitcoin slid below $73,000—down to as low as $72,884.38—for the first time in about 16 months, as risk-off selling intensified amid geopolitical concerns and a partial U.S. government shutdown delaying key economic data; the drop leaves BTC down roughly 16% year-to-date, with Strategy, a bitcoin treasury firm, down about 9% in the pullback.
