$BTC
As of February 19, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at approximately $96,322, reflecting a 1.7% increase from the previous close. This uptick follows a three-day decline influenced by inflation concerns and delayed crypto-positive policies from President Trump’s administration. Notably, MicroStrategy announced plans to raise $2 billion through convertible notes to acquire additional Bitcoin, aiming to bolster its existing holdings of around 480,000 BTC. Analysts have mixed forecasts: some predict a potential rise to $150,000 by mid-2025, while others caution about a possible drop to $86,000 due to waning demand and liquidity challenges.
