Bitcoin Breaks New Record High: Institutional Demand Fuels Price Surge

Bitcoin’s price surged past $125,000 last weekend, hitting a new all-time high as institutional investors and spot Bitcoin ETFs played a key role. Corporate treasuries purchased nearly $1.2 billion worth of Bitcoin last week, led by Japanese investment firm Metaplanet. However, the real catalyst behind the price breakout came from spot Bitcoin ETFs with over $3.24 billion in net inflows last week, nearly matching the record-high level achieved in November 2024.
