$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) continues to gain momentum, now trading above $81,000, marking a nearly 6% surge in the past 24 hours. This upswing follows a wave of investor optimism triggered by President Trump’s 90-day pause on tariffs for most U.S. trade partners, which has lifted broader markets and increased appetite for riskier assets like crypto. Bitcoin’s rally has also been fueled by global developments such as Pakistan’s initiative to power AI data centers and Bitcoin mining using surplus electricity—a move that could reshape the region’s digital economy. Despite short-term volatility, institutional interest in BTC remains strong. Companies like MicroStrategy, although reporting expected losses due to recent fluctuations in BTC prices, continue to hold massive amounts of Bitcoin. As macroeconomic uncertainty and dollar inflation persist, many investors are once again turning to BTC as a store of value and a hedge against traditional market shocks.
