The breakthrough of Bitcoin at 100K refers to the price of Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 mark.

According to 21 Economic Network, as of May 9, 2025, 7:30 AM Beijing time, the price of Bitcoin was $102,826, with a 24-hour increase of 5.75%, successfully returning above $100,000. This is the first time since February 2025 that it has broken through this important psychological barrier. From the intraday market, Bitcoin previously rose from a low of $93,327, peaking at $101,678, forming a clear pattern of breakthrough upward movement.

Previously, Bitcoin had also broken through 100K multiple times in December 2024. For instance, on December 5, according to OKX market data, BTC broke through 100,000 USDT. On December 12, Bitcoin again surpassed $100,000, driven at that time by U.S. inflation data and expectations of interest rate cuts.

The price of Bitcoin breaking through 100K was influenced by various factors, such as institutional capital inflows, changes in U.S. political policies, global liquidity changes, and market sentiment. Some companies made large purchases of Bitcoin, and the cryptocurrency policy of the newly elected U.S. President Trump also played a role in driving the price of Bitcoin.
