$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) has surged to record highs, exceeding $118,000 in July 2025, driven by institutional adoption and favorable U.S. policies under the Trump administration. A Bank of America report highlights BTC as the top global currency, outperforming fiat currencies with an 18.2% gain since January. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded unprecedented inflows, with BlackRock’s IBIT holding over 700,000 BTC. Despite mainstream media’s sparse coverage, institutional demand remains strong, with corporate treasuries growing 375% year-over-year. However, volatility persists, and a recent Bitcoin Depot data breach exposed 27,000 customers’ information, raising security concerns.
