Since Trump was elected as the new President of the United States in early November, Bitcoin has soared from about $68,000 to a historic new high of $104,088. When BTC broke through the $100,000 mark last week, Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social: "Congratulations Bitcoin!!! $100,000!!! You're welcome!!!" Clearly attributing the milestone of Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 to himself.
According to high-level sources from Trump's transition team, Trump "will be very focused on the price of Bitcoin," and he hopes Bitcoin can reach $150,000 in the early stages of his second presidential term.
As of the time of writing, Bitcoin is fluctuating around $98,000, currently priced at $98,300, with a 0.96% increase in the last 24 hours.
