$BTC The price of Bitcoin has risen to approximately $96,500, reflecting a 30% increase from the April lows. This increase is attributed to substantial institutional investments and favorable regulatory changes in the United States. Notably, the administration of President Donald Trump established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, positioning the U.S. as the largest holder of Bitcoin with over 200,000 BTC. Analysts predict that Bitcoin could reach between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of the year, supported by continued institutional adoption and national reserve strategies.
