US companies have significantly boosted their Bitcoin reserves, outpacing global counterparts. Experts attribute this to the potential return of Donald Trump to the presidency and his proposal for a national strategic Bitcoin reserve.
Impact of Trump's Policies on Bitcoin
The speculation around Donald Trump potentially returning to the presidency and his initiative for a national strategic Bitcoin reserve have had a positive impact on the cryptocurrency market, driving Bitcoin's price to an unprecedented high of $108,135.
Other Nations' Reactions
The US initiative to form a strategic Bitcoin reserve has sparked interest from other nations like Russia and Poland, who are considering similar strategies. However, Professor Steve Hanke from Johns Hopkins University has expressed skepticism about this trend, suggesting that Bitcoin does not generate jobs or stimulate innovation.
Current State of Bitcoin Market
Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $94,271, showing a slight decline of 2.21% in the past 24 hours. MicroStrategy remains the largest institutional investor, increasing its BTC holdings to 447,470.
