The breakthrough of Bitcoin at 100K refers to the Bitcoin price surpassing the $100,000 mark.
According to 21st Century Business Herald, 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 marks the first time since February 2025 that it has broken through this important psychological threshold. From the intraday market, Bitcoin previously rose from a low of $93,327, reaching a high of $101,678, forming a clear pattern of breakthrough increase.
Previously, Bitcoin had also broken through 100K multiple times in December 2024. For instance, on December 5, according to OKX market data, BTC surpassed 100,000 USDT. On December 12, Bitcoin again broke through $100,000, driven by U.S. inflation data and expectations of interest rate cuts.
The Bitcoin price 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 boosting Bitcoin's price.
