The recent price movements are influenced by several factors. Notably, the U.S. government's establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, accumulating around 200,000 BTC, underscores institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency. Additionally, substantial acquisitions by major firms, such as Strategy's purchase of 13,390 BTC for $1.34 billion, indicate robust institutional interest. (Wikipedia, CoinDesk)
