The Bitcoin breakthrough of 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 Bitcoin price 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 surpassed this important psychological barrier. From the intraday market, Bitcoin previously surged from a low of $93,327 to a high of $101,678, forming a distinct breakthrough upward trend.

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

The Bitcoin price's breakthrough of 100K was influenced by various factors, such as institutional capital inflows, changes in U.S. political policies, global liquidity changes, and market sentiment. Large purchases of Bitcoin by some companies, as well as the cryptocurrency policy of the elected U.S. president Trump, have all contributed to the upward pressure on Bitcoin's price.
