$BTC | Bitcoin Soars Past $88K on Institutional Demand & Policy Momentum

Bitcoin has surged above $88,000 as of April 22, 2025, fueled by growing institutional interest and political-economic shifts. Major players like ARK Invest and BlackRock have collectively poured over $150 million into BTC, while MicroStrategy’s holdings now exceed 499,000 BTC. Rising open interest—up $3.1 billion—signals strong market participation. Meanwhile, President Trump's push for a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Fed-related political tensions are weakening the dollar, making BTC an attractive hedge. Analysts are watching resistance around $90,500, with some forecasting $150K–$200K targets this year. Bitcoin’s resilience and adoption narrative are only getting stronger.
