As Trump’s team deliberates on this role, the crypto industry is actively lobbying to ensure that whoever assumes this position has direct access to the President-elect. Notably, Trump is now regarded as one of the strongest supporters of crypto, despite his previous skepticism about this asset class.
“While I’m not certain things will go smoothly as we approach the $100,000 mark, the demand seems endless,” said Tony Sycamore, Market Analyst at IG Australia Pty.
Bitcoin’s upward momentum is bolstered by several positive factors. MicroStrategy, the largest publicly-traded Bitcoin holder, has just announced ambitious plans to sell $2.6 billion in convertible senior notes, a nearly 50% increase from its initial plans, to purchase more Bitcoin. Additionally, the introduction of options on Bitcoin ETF products in the US has further boosted investor confidence.
According to data from CoinGecko, the total market capitalization of the crypto market has surged by an impressive $800 billion since Trump’s election victory on November 5. Bitcoin alone rose over 2% in the US on Wednesday and continued its upward trajectory in Asian trading.
Investors are now eyeing the next milestone: $100,000. For Bitcoin proponents who view it as a modern store of value, reaching this six-figure mark would be a compelling response to skeptics who doubt the utility of cryptocurrencies and criticize their association with money laundering.
Trump has pledged to establish a favorable legal framework for digital assets in the US and create a strategic Bitcoin reserve. While the timing and feasibility of these commitments remain uncertain, his shift in perspective on crypto is believed to be influenced by the significant investments made by digital asset companies in his election campaign to advance their industry’s interests.
