Bitcoin Soars to New All-Time High, Surpasses $111,000 Amid Investor Optimism Kathmandu, May 22 — Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, has reached a new record high, crossing $111,691.50 during early Asian trading hours on Thursday. This marks the highest price ever recorded for Bitcoin, reaffirming strong investor confidence in the digital asset market. As of 06:38 UTC, Bitcoin is trading at around $110,731.70, reflecting a 1.03% daily gain, or approximately $1,125 in value growth. According to Bloomberg data, the surge has been fueled by a mix of regulatory developments in the U.S., rising institutional interest, and growing retail participation in digital assets. The U.S. Senate is currently advancing a key stablecoin bill, signaling potential regulatory clarity that is boosting market sentiment. A major contributor to this price spike is American businessman Michael Saylor’s company, which now holds over $50 billion worth of Bitcoin. Additionally, the number of people storing and investing in digital assets continues to climb, further amplifying demand. Market analysts note that although the price surge is a positive sign for long-term investors, there could be short-term volatility as some traders may choose to take profits after the historic high. The brief dip following the peak supports this possibility. Adding to the buzz, U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly hosting a private dinner at his golf club near Washington with major memecoin holders. The move has drawn criticism from ethics experts, who warn it could create a conflict of interest and raise concerns about political access tied to financial benefits. Despite such concerns, Bitcoin’s new record is being viewed as a milestone in the maturing cryptocurrency market. With increasing mainstream attention and more regulatory developments on the horizon, investors remain cautiously optimistic about further growth potential.
