The breakthrough of Bitcoin at 100K refers to the price of Bitcoin surpassing the 100,000 USD mark.
According to 21 Economic Network, as of May 9, 2025, at 7:30 AM Beijing time, the quote for Bitcoin was 102,826 USD, with a 24-hour increase of 5.75%, successfully returning above 100,000 USD. This is the first time since February 2025 that it has broken this important psychological threshold. From the intraday market, Bitcoin had previously risen from a low of 93,327 USD all the way up to a high of 101,678 USD, forming a clear pattern of breakthrough increase.
Previously, Bitcoin had also broken 100K multiple times in December 2024. For instance, on December 5, according to OKX market data, BTC surpassed 100,000 USDT. On December 12, Bitcoin again broke through 100,000 USD, driven by U.S. inflation data and expectations of interest rate cuts.
The price of Bitcoin breaking 100K is influenced by various factors, such as institutional capital inflow, changes in U.S. political policies, global liquidity changes, and market sentiment. Large purchases of Bitcoin by some companies, along with the cryptocurrency policies of the newly elected U.S. President Trump, have all played a role in boosting the price of Bitcoin.
