Bitcoin Rises as Firms Add Crypto to Portfolios

US crypto-linked stocks climbed alongside Bitcoin prices on Monday, closing with gains following news of more publicly traded companies incorporating Bitcoin into their reserves. The trend follows a record high for Bitcoin (BTC) set at around $110,150 after it surged 4% over the past day. This surge came amid market stabilization as US and China held trade talks in the UK. Experts attribute this growth to expanding decentralized finance applications and increased institutional investments.
