Bitcoin has reached a historic high, exceeding the $97,000 mark

Investors continue to actively invest in cryptocurrency, expecting favorable policy changes under the new president. This was reflected in the bitcoin exchange rate, which increased by almost 6% and reached $97,458. 

Shares of cryptocurrency-related companies are also showing growth. MicroStrategy, one of the largest companies investing in bitcoin, rose 3% after a previous increase of more than 10%. 

The rise in the price of BTC is due to hopes for a more loyal attitude towards cryptocurrencies from the new government. It is assumed that Trump may introduce more flexible regulation and even consider the possibility of creating a national strategic reserve of bitcoin. Experts predict that the price of bitcoin could reach $100,000 this year and double by the end of 2025.

Analysts also note that the growth of the bitcoin exchange rate is associated with improved liquidity, increased institutional interest and a more favorable regulatory environment. In 2024, bitcoin has already grown by more than 127%.
