As of May 13, 2025, Bitcoin $BTC
has crossed the $103,000 mark on Binance, reflecting strong market momentum fueled by institutional investment, regulatory developments, and growing trust in crypto infrastructure.
A key factor in this surge is the United States' move to legalize strategic Bitcoin reserves, marking a significant shift in national crypto policy. This has encouraged broader investor confidence and added legitimacy to Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.
At the same time, corporate interest is rising. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet recently issued $24.8 million in bonds to increase its Bitcoin holdings and plans to expand operations in the U.S. with a $250 million fundraising goal.
Supporting this trend, Binance released its latest proof-of-reserves report showing that it holds more BTC, ETH, and USDT than customer balances — all with reserve ratios exceeding 100%. This transparency continues to build user trust in the exchange.
With these developments, analysts believe Bitcoin may now find solid ground above the $100,000 level, setting the stage for further growth.
