Bitcoin Reaches $100,000: A Milestone for the Cryptocurrency Market Bitcoin (BTC) has achieved a historic milestone, surpassing the $100,000 mark for the first time on December 5, 2024. This landmark event follows a year of robust growth, during which Bitcoin’s price surged by 126% since January, fueled by increasing institutional adoption, demand for spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and the reduced supply caused by Bitcoin’s fourth halving in April.
