$BTC

Bitcoin, the original decentralized cryptocurrency launched in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, is currently trading near $117,760 USD, recently dipping slightly after hitting an intraday high above $118,000 .

Driven by strong institutional demand, inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, and pro‑crypto legislative signals from U.S. policymakers, BTC has surged past record levels—rising over 100 % in the past 12 months, and more than 25 % year‑to‑date .

This rally reflects mounting investor confidence in Bitcoin as both a store of value and mainstream asset. Despite its volatility, BTC continues to draw attention from corporations and financial markets aiming to diversify portfolios.
