Bitcoin Slides to $76,000 as Post‑Election Rally Falters Amid AI Regulation Fears

Bitcoin was trading near $76,000 after the post‑election rally that had lifted the cryptocurrency earlier this week collapsed, according to market data.

The price drop occurred alongside a broader market sell‑off driven by fears that Democrats controlling both chambers of Congress could impose tighter regulations on AI data centers, a narrative that has weighed on technology‑heavy equities.

Nvidia, a proxy for AI‑related exposure, fell 9.26% on Thursday, losing its position as the world’s most valuable company to Apple; it was the only asset that underperformed Bitcoin over the past six months.

Tradexus data shows Bitcoin at $75,717, up 0.4% over the last 24 hours, indicating a modest short‑term rebound despite the broader downward pressure.

The convergence of political risk and sector‑specific regulatory concerns suggests that Bitcoin’s near‑term trajectory may be tied to how quickly the market digests potential AI policy changes and whether the rally can regain momentum.
