The world’s largest cryptocurrency has once again proved its strength, with BTC surpassing $110,000 amid major regulatory changes and growing institutional interest.

A Historic High and Political Context

Bitcoin climbed approximately 4% on the day, pushing it to a fresh all-time high above $110,000. This latest milestone marks its first record-breaking move since November, during the lead-up to Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. presidency. Optimism around a crypto-friendly administration had initially fueled expectations of a rapid bull cycle.

However, a heavy focus on trade tariffs early in Trump’s term delayed momentum, sparking a brief market correction. Bitcoin, which had soared, fell below $75,000 in early February amid rising trade tensions, only to recover as the administration dialed back its tariff policies.

Regulatory Winds Turn Favorable

A key driver of Bitcoin’s recent rally has been the political shift in Washington. The SEC, now under new leadership, has softened its previously rigid stance on crypto. The passage of the GENIUS Act — the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins — signaled a clear move toward embracing blockchain-based finance.

Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott called it a pivotal moment for ensuring the U.S. remains at the forefront of digital innovation, while also protecting consumers and national interests.

Institutional Embrace and Treasury Accumulation

Beyond policy, institutional activity has played a pivotal role. Bitcoin’s image as a hedge against market instability continues to draw in both retail and corporate buyers. Public companies with Bitcoin Treasury strategies — notably MicroStrategy — have added fuel to the rally.

MicroStrategy alone purchased $765 million worth of BTC this week, taking its total holdings past $63 billion. The rise in corporate allocations and the emergence of competitors like “Twenty One,” launched by Brandon Lutnick (linked to the Trump administration), are adding to the bullish narrative.

Wall Street’s Quiet Surrender

Wall Street has also begun to capitulate to crypto demand. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon — long a critic of digital assets — confirmed the bank will now permit client access to Bitcoin, aligning with moves already taken by BlackRock and Morgan Stanley. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw massive inflows in April, with $6.5 billion added in just one month, catapulting the ETF into the top five by volume.

Final Word: $150K Is Not Too Far After 50% Gain in A Month

Bitcoin’s rally is no longer just a speculative frenzy. It’s being powered by concrete policy progress, growing institutional validation, and widespread market integration.

With political support intensifying and corporate treasuries continuing to accumulate, Bitcoin’s move above $110K could signal the beginning of a broader and more sustainable adoption phase which would help the BTC price higher toward $120K first and then eventually $150K and $200K.
