Bitcoin Surges to New High on Trump’s Presidential Victory

763

The price of bitcoin has skyrocketed to a record high of $75,345, driven by investor optimism following Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election.

This surge represents an 8 percent increase, with bitcoin briefly touching the milestone before settling at around $73,500.

Trump’s shift from crypto sceptic to enthusiast has contributed to the market’s bullish sentiment.

His campaign’s acceptance of cryptocurrency donations and his appearance at a bitcoin conference in July demonstrated his newfound support for the industry.

Furthermore, Trump’s pledge to make America “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin has instilled confidence among investors.

The market is now abuzz with speculation about bitcoin’s potential to break through the $100,000 barrier.

Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, noted that Trump’s love for digital currency has given crypto traders a new narrative to drive excitement.

“Bitcoin is the one asset that was always going to soar if Trump returned to the White House,” Mould stated.

This development is part of a larger trend, with bitcoin’s price rising 14 percent in October due to Trump’s improving election odds.

MicroStrategy, a major bitcoin holder, has seen significant gains, outperforming the cryptocurrency with a 191% return.

Trump’s victory has set the stage for a potential cryptocurrency boom, and investors are eagerly awaiting to see how high bitcoin will rise.
