Bitcoin has surpassed $80,000 for the first time in three months — Bitcoin

The price of Bitcoin, the world’s most valuable cryptocurrency, has risen above $80,000 for the first time in over three months, amid a rally in Asian stock markets.

Bloomberg reports this.

On Monday morning, Bitcoin rose by 2.1% to $80,594 — its highest level since 31 January. Other cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, also rose in value.

In October 2025, Bitcoin reached a record high of over $126,000, before falling to around $60,000 in February. Since then, the asset has been gradually recovering, partly due to demand from large companies.

According to Bloomberg, on Friday investors poured $630 million into US funds that invest in Bitcoin. Analysts say that due to the activity of major investors, Bitcoin is expected to rise to $85,000 in the coming weeks.

As a reminder, journalists previously named the possible creator of Bitcoin.
