*Bitcoin Surges Past Tech Stocks, Rakes in Largest Gains Despite Recent Dip*
Bitcoin has outperformed several tech stocks in the United States, propelling it to a record high of around $109,000 when Trump was inaugurated on January 20. Although it dipped to $76,000 following the US tariff announcement, the largest digital currency has surged approximately 12% since last week, approaching the $95,000 price level for the first time since early March. This surge exceeds the 5% gain seen in the Nasdaq-100 index as investors weigh the impact of Trump's trade war. One factor driving this digital asset's rise is Trump's promise to bolster the crypto industry during his campaign. The president has also signed an executive order to form a strategic Bitcoin reserve last March.
