Bitcoin (BTC) price has continued to move up, and data from Google Trends shows that interest in the leading cryptocurrency by market cap is heating up.

At its core, Google Trends quantifies a topic's popularity — such as "bitcoin" — by tracking search volume over time and across regions. Rather than showing raw search counts, Google Trends (GT) normalizes data by dividing each data point for "bitcoin" at a given time and region by the period's peak search interest and scaling the outcome from 0 to 100. A 100 value marks the point when "bitcoin" recorded its highest relative search interest, while lower figures reflect diminished attention relative to that peak.

According to the latest 90-day global GT metrics, bitcoin's score rose from 36 on May 7 to 58 today. Over the last 30 days, the score climbed from 53 on May 7 to 85 on May 9.

Searches for "bitcoin price" increased from 47 to 79 over the last 90 days. The top regions for the search query "bitcoin" are Switzerland, El Salvador, Austria, Slovenia, and Nigeria. For "bitcoin price," the top regions are Slovenia, Canada, Estonia, Singapore, and Australia. Related topics include "gold price" and the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Other queries include "bitcoin dominance" and "bitcoin treasury."

The heightened search volumes and climbing bitcoin prices may suggest that the digital asset is capturing attention and edges closer to mainstream recognition. As diverse regions show curiosity and related topics tie bitcoin to established markets like gold and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, this pattern might signal market integration and inspires further analysis into how web searches mirror shifting investor sentiment.
