Bitcoin has just reached a stunning new <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/bitcoin-hits-new-all-time-high-95k-breakout-sets-stage-for-137k-year-end/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">all-time high (ATH) of $97,858</a>.

This growth follows Bitcoin's new all-time high and a massive increase in its market cap, which now stands at $1.91 trillion. If this trend continues, Bitcoin might even surpass Amazon’s market cap of $2.151 trillion, becoming the <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/bitcoin-the-7th-largest-asset-in-the-world-inches-close-to-100k-here-is-what-driving-the-btc-price-higher/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sixth most valuable asset in the world</a>.   
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-s-driving-bitcoin-s-rise">What’s Driving Bitcoin’s Rise?</h2>   
The prediction that Bitcoin will hit $100K isn’t just speculation. Several factors are helping push its value higher.   
1. New All-Time Highs   
Bitcoin’s recent surge to $97,858 levels has created strong momentum. Meanwhile, this surge has set an optimistic tone.   
2. Growing Institutional Interest&nbsp;   
Big names like BlackRock and Fidelity are heavily backing Bitcoin through ETFs and related products. This growing support from institutions has boosted Bitcoin’s credibility and demand.   
3. Scarcity and Rising Demand   
With its fixed supply, Bitcoin has become the go-to “digital gold” for investors looking to protect their wealth against inflation and economic uncertainty.   
These factors create a perfect storm for Bitcoin, with market conditions aligning to push its value toward the much-anticipated $100K milestone.   [post_titles_links postid="382847"]

 Why is Bitcoin going up? 
 Bitcoin is going up due to strong institutional backing from firms like BlackRock and Fidelity, and its limited supply, which boosts demand as a store of value. These factors are creating momentum for Bitcoin to potentially reach $100K.
