Bitcoin has surged above the price of $100,000 USD on Wednesday, December 5 and touched $104,000. It was the most awaited milestone for the leading cryptocurrency in this bull cycle. 


Bitcoin has increased by 126% from the beginning of 2024 till date. Resisting the pushbacks in between, BTC managed to cross the $100k mark in the final month of 2024, right before Trump is preparing to take office as president.


Michael Saylor calls for a $100k Bitcoin party



Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy Inc., who is among the biggest holders of this bullish asset, celebrated the milestone in a tweet and called for a $100k party.

The bull run for Bitcoin may have officially started after Donald Trump won over the presidential election, as the asset has increased by 48% since then.


BTC is currently up by 6.23% in the last 24 hours, and sits at a price of $102,865 at the time of this writing.
