The leading crypto surged from its daily low around $105,135 and continues to show potential to break new records as it continues its upward trend.

After the rally that brought the price to the latest ATH, Bitcoin has now also surpassed Amazon stock and taken fifth place as the largest asset by market capitalization.

The crypto asset now has a market capitalization of $2.13 trillion, behind only gold, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Apple.

Bitcoin Bought by Institutional Investors

Furthermore, Bitcoin’s price increase to this new ATH comes amid a massive increase in accumulation by institutional investors.

According to a Coingape report, fund flows into Bitcoin ETFs (BTC ETFs) have surged dramatically in recent weeks. BlackRock’s IBIT now holds more than 636,000 BTC, with record inflows for 24 of the last 25 days.

In addition, companies are also accumulating more Bitcoin. Strategy, the public company with the largest BTC holdings, bought 7,390 BTC last week bringing its total holdings to 576,230 BTC.

Michael Saylor and his company are now sitting on $22.7 billion in unrealized profits from their BTC investments.

Meanwhile, Japanese company Metaplanet added 1,004 BTC this week and now holds a total of 10,000 BTC. Other companies such as Basel Medical Group have also started considering adding Bitcoin to their financial reserves.

Peter Brandt Predicts Bitcoin Price Could Break $150,000

Veteran trader Peter Brandt revealed the possibility that Bitcoin’s price will jump to $150,000 in the coming months.

He made this statement after BTC hit a new all-time high, revealing that he is currently long the major crypto asset.

However, Brandt also noted that ATH is technically not that significant because in a bull market, it is normal to reach ATH. He then questioned whether Bitcoin is heading towards a price peak in the range of $125,000 to $150,000 before the end of August.

Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also voiced optimism, stating that the $135,000 price target for Bitcoin in 2025 is still on track. He even mentioned that the price movement plan is working perfectly.

Michael Saylor, co-founder of the company Strategy, also responded to this Bitcoin price rally. In a post on X, he said:

“If you’re not buying Bitcoin at its highest price, you’re missing out on profit opportunities.”

Saylor recently released a video affirming his belief that Bitcoin is the best investment asset. He emphasized that BTC has become a hedge asset against the risks associated with physical capital.

Renowned author and Bitcoin ideology maximalist, Robert Kiyosaki, even predicts that the price of BTC could reach between $500,000 and $1 million. His belief is based on his view that the US economy is heading towards hyper-inflation.

Kiyosaki mentioned that there is currently no significant demand for US bonds, and investors are turning to Bitcoin and gold as hedge assets, amid the government’s policy of massive money printing.
