Bitcoin (BTC) could continue its upward trajectory before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, potentially reaching a new all-time high.
Following Trump’s victory, Bitcoin surged past $76,000, fueled by expectations of a crypto-friendly environment under his administration.
Several analysts predict Bitcoin could hit $100,000 by January, supported by a report from Copper, which ties the potential rise to trends in Bitcoin ETF accumulation. The report suggests that $100,000 is achievable with ETFs holding around 1.1 million BTC.
Trump’s promises to reform regulatory bodies like the SEC, including firing current chair Gary Gensler, have further sparked optimism in the crypto community. Additionally, figures like Senator Cynthia Lummis believe the administration will follow through on plans to build a Bitcoin reserve with the $15 billion already held by the government.
Bitcoin’s recent bullish breakout, after a consolidation phase, points toward a target of $90,000 to $100,000, with some forecasting a rise to $200,000 in 2025. However, concerns about a FOMO-driven rally linger, as the post-election surge may not be sustainable long-term.
As Bitcoin pushed past $111,000 on May 22, breaking its previous all-time high, activity in the futures market erupted in response.
Fifteen years ago, a programmer unknowingly made history when he traded 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas—marking the first documented purchase using cryptocurrency.
Strategy, the rebranded identity of MicroStrategy, is preparing to raise up to $2.1 billion through the sale of preferred stock as part of its ongoing effort to grow its Bitcoin portfolio.
Bitcoin’s return to six-figure territory has reignited market optimism, but unlike the short-lived surge seen in January, the current rally appears to be built on firmer ground.
