Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Price Falls to $103,000 As Government Starts to Reopen, Trump Weighs Tariff Checks

Bitcoin price traded below $104,000 today after briefly reclaiming $106,000 to start the week, as traders weighed a mix of macro tailwinds and technical headwinds — including President Donald Trump’s plan to send Americans $2,000 “tariff dividend” checks.

The policy, announced Sunday on Truth Social, would pay most Americans a cash rebate funded by record tariff revenues.

The president said the program would return “trillions of dollars” collected from trade tariffs and eventually help pay down the nation’s $37 trillion debt. Markets, however, are viewing it as a fresh liquidity injection — a kind of 2025 reboot of the 2020-era stimulus that helped ignite Bitcoin’s last bull run.
