Bitcoin surpasses $100,000: How BTC price reached a new record high
BTC surpassed the $100,000 level and hit the $104,000 level, leaving a psychological turning point for investors. This historic rise accelerated following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US presidential elections and his promises of a crypto-friendly administration. While Trump nominated Paul Atkins to head the SEC, he also appointed pro-crypto names to important positions such as the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department.
Behind this impressive rise of Bitcoin are not only political factors, but also important developments such as macroeconomic conditions and the approval of spot BTC ETFs. Approved in 2024, ETFs made it easier for institutional investors to access crypto and brought a massive influx of capital into the market. In addition, Bitcoin’s limited supply structure and the supply-demand balance created by the regular halving of block rewards were among the important factors supporting the price increase. Macroeconomic conditions also influenced Bitcoin’s rise.
At a time when inflation is at high levels, Bitcoin has become a safe haven asset as digital gold. Experts predict that Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by 2025. These predictions show that Bitcoin has gone beyond being just an investment tool and has become an important asset in the global financial system.

President-elect Donald Trump’s open attitude towards crypto was effective in the BTC price reaching these levels.
Trump drew attention by nominating Paul Atkins, who had a crypto-friendly background, as SEC chairman. Powell emphasized that the Fed does not directly regulate the cryptocurrency market, but that interactions between crypto and the banking industry should not threaten the health of banks. When asked if he had any crypto investments of his own, he replied: “That is not allowed.” Despite Trump’s criticism, Powell stated that the Fed is an independent institution and will not bow to political pressure.
