Bitcoin recently crossed the mythical threshold of 109,000 dollars. This new record comes in a context filled with symbolism and anticipation, as Donald Trump prepares to take the oath for a second term as President of the United States. A dazzling rise that marks a key moment in the history of cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin exceeds expectations
This is not an isolated feat. Since December 2024, Bitcoin had already approached this symbolic threshold, flirting with 108,000 dollars.
Indeed, the media resonance and speculation surrounding Trump’s inauguration have amplified the bullish momentum, attracting new investors.
Bitcoin now seems to play a broader role, transcending its initial nature as a “digital store of value” to establish itself as an indicator of economic and geopolitical trends.
The Trump effect: a catalyst for confidence in cryptos
Donald Trump’s inauguration, scheduled a few hours after this record, has largely contributed to this wave of optimism.
Why? Trump, often perceived as an unpredictable figure, surprised the crypto community by showing unprecedented support for Bitcoin technology. Among his most discussed projects: the establishment of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin in the United States, a global first that could redefine the role of states in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Since his victory in November 2024, Trump has focused on a rhetoric centered on innovation and deregulation.
This presidential support fuels the idea that the United States could become a key player in decentralized finance, which rekindles speculation about the massive adoption of Bitcoin.
