$BTC **$BTC**

Bitcoin continues to dominate the crypto market as the leading store of value and benchmark digital asset. Despite recent volatility, BTC remains a favorite among institutional and retail investors due to its finite supply of 21 million coins and growing adoption. Major corporations like MicroStrategy and Tesla hold BTC as a treasury reserve, while countries like El Salvador recognize it as legal tender. The upcoming Bitcoin halving in 2024 is expected to further reduce supply, potentially driving long-term price appreciation. With increasing institutional interest through spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC is solidifying its role as "digital gold." Analysts remain bullish on its future, especially as global macroeconomic uncertainty persists.
