$BTC

As of May 12, 2025, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading near $104,500 after a recent breakthrough above the key level of $100,000. The price is showing stability, although fluctuations were recorded during the day in the range of $101,671–$104,836. The rise of BTC is fueled by several important factors. First, the strategic company Strategy made a large purchase of 13,390 BTC for $1.34 billion, boosting institutional confidence in the market. Second, a trade truce between the USA and China, which involves a temporary reduction of tariffs for 90 days, has created a positive backdrop for risky assets, including cryptocurrencies.

Additional momentum came from the political front — Donald Trump announced his intention to become the “crypto-president” and create a national Bitcoin reserve, further supporting investor sentiment. However, after reaching a three-month high of $105,720, the market experienced a short-term correction to $101,295 before recovering.

Overall, analysts assess the situation as positive, although they warn of potential volatility. Investors remain optimistic about BTC's potential, especially in the context of rising geopolitical uncertainty and increased institutional purchases.
