Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high, hitting $100,000 for the first time, continuing its bull run since the start of November.<\/p>\n
On December 5, Bitcoin<\/a> broke the $100,000 milestone after getting within touching distance of the psychological level on November 22, at over $99,000<\/a>. Data from CoinMarketCap shows Bitcoin reached more than $103,500 around 04:05 this morning.<\/p>\n\n At the time of publishing, Bitcoin is trading at around $101,000. Over the past 30 days, the crypto asset has risen nearly 50% in value while its year-to-date value has increased by 140%.<\/p>\n While there are underlying factors<\/a> relating to Bitcoin\u2019s price rise, Donald Trump\u2019s presidential victory last month has given the asset a significant push. It also hasn\u2019t hurt Bitcoin that Trump<\/a> announced pro-crypto Paul Atkins<\/a> as the next chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n Trump has also picked Scott Bessent<\/a> and Howard Lutnick to head the US Secretary of Treasury and Commerce departments.<\/p>\n Taking to X, Michael Saylor<\/a>, CEO of MicroStrategy, said<\/a> \u201cthere\u2019s going to be a $100k party.\u201d<\/p>\n Earlier this week, Saylor urged Microsoft to adopt Bitcoin saying it represents \u201cdigital capital<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Bitcoin hits $100k for the first time as bull run continues<\/a> appeared first on CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bitcoin reached the milestone on December 5 Over the past 30 days, Bitcoin has increased in value by nearly 50% and 140% in YTD value It comes as President-elect Donald Trump named Paul Atkins as the next US SEC chair Bitcoin has reached a new all-time high, hitting $100,000 for the first time, continuing its […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1995,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1994","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bitcoin"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/digkrypton.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
