Google searches for "Bitcoin" have surged to their highest level in a year, coinciding with recent price volatility. According to preliminary data from Google Trends, global interest in the term reached a peak score of 100 in the week starting February 1. This spike in search activity follows Bitcoin's brief dip below $60,000, marking its lowest point since October 2024. The last significant increase in search interest occurred in November, when Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000 for the first time in nearly six months.
