Bitcoin Surpasses $120,000 for the First Time in History — Record Surge Linked to Trump’s Return to the White House

Monday, July 14, 2025 – Bitcoin, the world’s most popular cryptocurrency, reached an unprecedented milestone on Monday morning by breaking the $120,000 mark per unit for the first time ever. This historic surge highlights major shifts in the digital currency market.

According to data from the Bitstamp platform, Bitcoin climbed to $121,488 per coin, surpassing the $120,000 threshold it had neared late last week.

Analysts attribute this remarkable rise to the new political landscape in the United States, especially following Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January after winning the November 2024 presidential election.

Trump, who had opposed cryptocurrencies during his first term (2017–2021), dramatically changed his stance during his recent campaign by openly supporting the digital currency market. This shift has significantly boosted investor and trader confidence.

Observers note that Bitcoin’s price has soared approximately 75% since Trump’s election, with expectations of further gains in the coming months amid anticipated new economic policies from the current U.S. administration.

Investors are closely watching market movements, especially as several new cryptocurrency-based investment funds are set to launch soon. Institutional demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation is also rising sharply.
