The breakthrough of Bitcoin above 100K refers to the Bitcoin price surpassing the $100,000 mark.

According to 21st Century Business Herald, as of 7:30 AM Beijing time on May 9, 2025, the Bitcoin price was $102,826, with a 24-hour increase of 5.75%, successfully returning above $100,000. This is the first time since February 2025 that it has broken this important psychological barrier. In the intra-day market, Bitcoin rose from a low of $93,327 to a high of $101,678, forming a significant breakout pattern.

Previously, Bitcoin had also broken through 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, driven at that time by U.S. inflation data and expectations of interest rate cuts.

The price of Bitcoin breaking above 100K was influenced by various factors, such as institutional capital inflows, changes in U.S. political policies, global liquidity changes, and market sentiment. Significant purchases of Bitcoin by some companies, along with the cryptocurrency policies of the newly elected U.S. President Trump, have also contributed to driving the price of Bitcoin.
