> Bitcoin fell 1.81% over 24 hours after an earlier decline and modest rebound, while the Dow rose and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended lower.

Bitcoin (BTC) traded at $81,862 after recovering modestly from an earlier decline, while renewed concerns about artificial-intelligence revenue pressured technology stocks and left U.S. markets mixed Thursday.

Bitcoin was down 1.81% over 24 hours. The move followed an earlier period of weakness before the cryptocurrency pared part of its decline.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1%, while the S&P 500 fell 0.47% and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.25%.

Technology stocks came under pressure after reports indicated that OpenAI’s annualized revenue was $20 billion lower than previously reported. Nvidia fell nearly 3%, while SpaceX, Micron Technology and SK hynix each declined more than 4%. Oracle and Intel each lost more than 5%.

Markets also remained focused on tensions between the United States and Iran. Three U.S. aircraft carriers are expected to gather in the Middle East in the coming weeks, while the Pentagon has prepared plans targeting Iranian missile, drone and energy facilities.

Trump said discussions between the United States and Iran were progressing and that he did not currently plan to launch an attack before the November midterm elections. Iran’s president said the country would not leave the negotiating table.
