Bitcoin Surges to New Record, Fueled by Trump’s Crypto Support
Bitcoin just smashed through another record high, climbing to US$113,734.64 on Thursday. The surge is being driven by a wave of institutional buying and supportive crypto policies from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, signaling a strong shift in mainstream acceptance of digital currencies.
This milestone marks a nearly 21% gain so far in 2025, reinforcing Bitcoin’s status as the world’s leading cryptocurrency and a growing fixture in global financial markets.
A Strategic Reserve—and a Strategic Bet
In March, President Trump signed an executive order to create a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies, positioning Bitcoin alongside traditional national reserves like oil or gold. The move sparked excitement in crypto markets and further boosted investor confidence.
Adding to the momentum, Trump has appointed several crypto-friendly officials, including SEC figure Paul Atkins and White House AI czar David Sacks—both seen as champions of decentralization and financial innovation.
Trump’s Inner Circle Joins the Crypto Party
The Trump family isn’t just endorsing crypto—they’re diving in. According to an SEC filing on Tuesday, Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT.O) is planning to launch a crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will invest in a variety of tokens, including Bitcoin.
This bold step toward crypto integration reflects a wider shift in how institutional and family-backed investment groups are starting to treat digital currencies—not as speculative assets, but as strategic holdings.
Institutional Demand Accelerates
Beyond politics, Bitcoin’s rally is also being driven by increasing demand from institutional investors, including hedge funds, banks, and wealth managers. With inflation concerns and economic volatility looming, many view Bitcoin as a hedge asset and a viable alternative to traditional stores of value.
ETFs, custodial services, and tokenized securities are making it easier for large institutions to enter the market, and they’re doing so in droves.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?
While skeptics continue to raise concerns about volatility and regulation, this latest rally suggests that Bitcoin’s role in the financial world is becoming more cemented. With pro-crypto sentiment flowing from the White House and financial giants steadily jumping in, the cryptocurrency could see further gains—especially if new policy announcements continue to favor digital assets.
Bitcoin’s record-breaking performance is a signal: crypto is no longer fringe—it’s foundational.
