 clinched a fresh record price of $109,400, surpassing the peak in January around Donald Trump's inauguration.

According to the coni $BTC , the largest and oldest cryptocurrency hit $109,486 on Wednesday during the early U.S. session. BTC surged more than 46% from its April trough induced by mounting freas over global trade war and U.S. tariffs.

The new all-time high came as spot bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETF) gobbled up $3.6 billion in net inflows in May, a sign of rejuvenated investor interest. A slew of bitcoin-focused treasury companies, including Michael Saylor's Strategy and newly-launched firm Twenty One Capital added to the buying spree, helping lift BTC to a new record.$BTC
