The Bitcoin market reached a new historical peak at $112,152 on July 9, 2025, confirming a strong upward trend despite a slight drop to $111,000.
The American political context, with easing trade tensions and strong support from Trump and Musk, has contributed to this bullish momentum.
Institutional adoption is intensifying: spot ETFs now hold $150 billion in assets, and companies are massively buying BTC.
A new historical peak… and a still vibrant momentum
Bitcoin briefly surpassed $112,152 on Wednesday, July 9, marking a new historical record. This level, just above the previous All-Time High (ATH) in May, confirms that the market is in turmoil, and the bulls are back in control.
Within hours, the price dropped to around $111,000, but the signal is there. In 2025, BTC has already gained +20% since the beginning of the year. A solid performance, in a macroeconomic context that remains volatile but increasingly favorable to crypto.
Trump reassures Wall Street, Bitcoin benefits
The trigger? An explosive mix of political relaxation and institutional enthusiasm.
The White House calmed the waters on tariff issues: the new U.S. tariffs, scheduled for August, will only apply to countries without a trade agreement. Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, even added that current tariff levels would remain unchanged if negotiations failed by then.
As a direct consequence, the market’s anticipated volatility has soared. And in this calmer atmosphere, Bitcoin took off. Of course, Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on Brazil quickly slowed the rally, but the underlying idea remains.
To top it off, Elon Musk confirmed over the weekend that his political party, the “America Party,” would officially support Bitcoin. A symbolic gesture… but full of meaning.
Enterprises are diving in for real
But it is primarily companies and institutions that are driving the price hikes.
A striking example: The Smarter Web Company, a British tech company now converted into a Bitcoin treasury company, announced the purchase of 226.42 BTC for $24.4 million. Average purchase price: $107,726 per BTC.
A massive operation that ranks the company 31st in the world for public BTC holders, just behind Cipher Mining. And at this pace, it could quickly break into the top 25.
Another revealing figure: the Bitcoin Spot ETFs (in the USA) now manage close to $150 billion in assets. A record level that proves the institutional appetite remains strong, even in the face of volatility or regulatory uncertainties.
A new bullish phase… or a pause before the explosion?
With a more stable macroclimate, support from public figures, a quickening pace of corporate adoption, and peak institutional volumes, all signs are pointing upwards.
The symbolic milestone of $120,000 is now in sight. Some analysts already see this as the beginning of a new cycle.
