Bitcoin Breaking Barriers

• Bitcoin reaches a new all-time high of $103,900 per unit.
• Donald Trump’s election victory fuels a significant bullish trend.
• ETFs and increased corporate adoption drive demand.

The $100K Breakthrough

Bitcoin has officially surpassed the $100,000 mark, hitting an unprecedented $103,900 per unit. This isn’t just a number; it’s a testament to the resilience and growing acceptance of cryptocurrency in the financial world. The question on everyone’s mind is, how did we get here?

The Election Impact

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – the US elections. Donald Trump’s victory in November has been a significant catalyst for this rally. His administration’s anticipated pro-crypto stance has investors feeling more confident about the future regulatory landscape.

Remember, this isn’t the first time political outcomes have swayed market sentiment, but this time, the effect is profound, pushing Bitcoin into uncharted territory.

ETFs and Corporate Adoption

But it’s not just about politics. The introduction and approval of Bitcoin ETFs have been like rocket fuel for this surge. They’ve made it easier for both retail and institutional investors to get a piece of the crypto pie without the complexities of direct ownership.

One example of this strategy is MicroStrategy, which during November added more than 134,000 BTC to its balance sheet amid a spate of weekly purchases that have extended into this December. The purchases are part of the company’s announced plan to raise its capital by USD $42 billion over the next three years for new Bitcoin acquisitions.

ETFs introduction has led to a surge in demand, with some estimates suggesting an influx of over $30 billion into Bitcoin-related funds this year alone.

Looking at the Numbers

Exactly one month ago, bitcoin went from being worth $68k to $70k. Who would have thought that a month later it would be worth thirty thousand dollars more?

Two financial analysts, Tom Lee and Peter Brandt, predicted that bitcoin would be worth $150k before the end of the year, maybe many did not believe them until now and decided to join the crypto frenzy.
