Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark for the first time in 2025, reaching a high of $101,192 before experiencing a slight retracement. This increase follows a significant downturn where Bitcoin had traded below this psychological threshold for nearly three weeks, including a 5.6% drop on December 18. Despite a mixed sentiment after the Federal Reserve's December meeting, the outlook remains optimistic, especially with President-elect Donald Trump's proposed U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve plan. This plan involves maintaining existing government-held bitcoins and potentially acquiring more, aligning with Senator Cynthia Lummis's Bitcoin Act of 2024, which aims to acquire a substantial amount of Bitcoin over five years. Analysts note that while trading conditions are uncertain, they believe the proposed policies could bolster Bitcoin's performance in the early months of the year.
