Bitcoin (BTC) Breaks Through $109,000 to a New All-Time High (ATH)
May 22, 2025 at 12:52 am
On Wednesday, the market’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC), surged by more than 3% to a new all-time high (ATH), fueled by the market’s strong buying pressure

The leading cryptocurrency on the market, Bitcoin (BTC), surged by more than 3% on Wednesday, hitting a new all-time high (ATH) as the token experiences strong buying pressure, which the market has seen over the last month.
According to Coin Metrics data, the Bitcoin price broke above the $109,000 level, reaching an astonishing record of $109,500. This milestone marks a substantial rebound from March’s lows around $70,000 and exceeds BTC’s prior high in January, which was around $105,000.
According to Antoni Trenchev, co-founder of the crypto exchange Nexo, Bitcoin’s new high has been concocted by an array of favorable ingredients in the macro cauldron.
“It’s possible a three-month window has opened for risk assets to thrive as a broader agreement between the US and China is thrashed out,” Trenchev added in a recent interview with CNBC.
The recent price increase can be attributed to several converging factors, particularly easing regulatory pressures in the United States. With key crypto legislation poised for passage in the US Senate, the environment appears increasingly supportive under pro-crypto President Donald Trump.
Alongside these political developments, favorable macroeconomic conditions, including softer inflation numbers and a de-escalation of tensions in the US-China trade war has created a conducive atmosphere for Bitcoin’s rise.
As for what’s next for the cryptocurrency, crypto analyst Doctor Profit—who has been known for accurately predicting Bitcoin’s previous drop to $77,000 and subsequent recovery above $100,000—has set new targets.
In a recent social media post on X, the analyst stated that BTC could rise to between $117,000 and $120,000, which would be an additional 10% increase. This potential rise could signal a new price discovery phase for the token, the first in several months.
At the time of writing, BTC attempts to consolidate above $109,000, with the aim to convert this floor into the new support for the rest of the new uptrend.
