History

Historical Context

Bitcoin's rise to nearly $20,000 in 2017 was fueled by institutional interest, including investments from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. This surge followed earlier trends, such as the 2012-2013 Cypriot financial crisis, which drove demand for Bitcoin as a hedge against economic instability. The recent acquisition of 22,305 BTC by Strategy Inc. for $2.13 billion underscores ongoing institutional adoption amid market volatility.
