$BTC By the end of April 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) demonstrated impressive performance with prices reaching around $94,836. This increase was driven by various factors, including rising institutional interest and supportive government policies.

One significant development was the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve by U.S. President Donald Trump in March 2025. This initiative aims to make Bitcoin a national reserve asset, utilizing around 200,000 BTC held by the U.S. government. This move marks a significant shift in the government's approach to digital assets.

In addition, the company Twenty One Capital, backed by SoftBank and Tether, announced an investment of $3.6 billion to acquire 42,000 BTC. This move makes them one of the largest Bitcoin holders globally.

Analysts from Standard Chartered, Geoff Kendrick, project that the price of Bitcoin could reach $120,000 in the second quarter of 2025, with the potential to reach $200,000 by the end of the year. This prediction is based on the increasing interest of investors in Bitcoin as a hedge asset amid global economic uncertainty.

However, not all institutions welcomed this development positively. The Chairman of the Swiss National Bank rejected the idea of including Bitcoin in the national foreign exchange reserves, citing volatility and insufficient market liquidity.

Overall, April 2025 became an important month for Bitcoin, with policy support and institutional interest contributing to price strengthening and broader adoption.
