Bitcoin has surprised us again by soaring past its old record to reach over $73,000 on March 13th with its value jumping over 70% since the beginning of the year. Even more impressive, ![]()
Bitcoin's total worth has now surpassed that of silver, making it the world's eighth most valuable asset.
James Butterfill from CoinShares International pointed out that investor interest is on the rise, with around $10.3 billion invested in crypto assets early this year. This is almost as much as the total for the whole of 2021, when Bitcoin reached its then record of nearly $69,000.

2. Deteriorating U.S. fiscal conditions are bolstering Bitcoin's appeal as a haven.
3. The growing popularity of Bitcoin ETFs is driving up demand.
4. The excitement for the upcoming Bitcoin "halving."

The following pic demonstrates the publicly traded companies that hold the most Bitcoin, with $Grayscale Bitcoin Trust(GBTC.US$ as world's largest Spot Bitcoin ETF, holding the largest amount at 395,740 BTC. $MicroStrategy(MSTR.US$ , the public company with the biggest stash of Bitcoin of 205,000, has seen its value shoot up over 135% this year, with its share price increasing nearly ten times since 2023. $Marathon Digital(MARA.US$ , the world's largest pure-play Bitcoin miner, owns 16,930 BTC and EV giant $Tesla(TSLA.US$ holds 9,720 BTC.
