Bitcoin Breaks $95,000 Barrier: Institutional Investments Fuel Surge

Bitcoin has reached a new milestone, soaring past $95,000 in May 2025 thanks to significant investment inflows from institutional players. This surge is attributed to strategic investments by firms like MicroStrategy and the growing adoption of Bitcoin by state governments across the US. 2025 has been a period of massive institutional support for Bitcoin with over $5 billion in recent investments, highlighting its increasing appeal for these organizations. The record-setting price has also impacted related stocks such as MicroStrategy’s stock, impacting altcoins like Ethereum. A key development was New Hampshire’s decision to establish a Bitcoin reserve, marking a turning point in U.S. state-level policies. Institutional investors from both public and private sectors are joining the fray, showing their commitment to cryptocurrencies with examples such as the Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund and Swiss Bank. Recent approvals for spot Bitcoin ETFs have further fueled this momentum, placing Bitcoin at the heart of financial discussions.
