On 2026-05-21, longtime crypto bull Mark Cuban told a Front Office Sports interview that Bitcoin 'has lost the plot' and revealed he had sold most of his holdings — citing its failure to behave like digital gold during the year's geopolitical shocks while gold ran toward $5,000. BTC traded around $77,553. A notable capitulation from a former believer.

The declaration was catalogued on May 21, 2026, when one Bitcoin traded for approximately $77,553. Bitcoin remains below its price on the day of this declaration — for now.
