Bitcoin reached a new milestone on July 4th, soaring to $109,433. This surge underscores Bitcoin's explosive growth, with a compound annual growth rate exceeding 100% from 2015 to 2025, far outpacing traditional asset classes. The rise is fueled by discussions of a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve and increased ETF flows, signaling growing legitimacy and investor confidence. The cryptocurrency's journey from $0.01 in 2010 to over $100,000 in 2025 highlights its role as a significant financial asset. Conservative investors are increasingly allocating to Bitcoin through regulated ETFs, reflecting its acceptance as a mainstream investment option.
