Bitcoin Blasts Past $118K-Mark, Leaving Nvidia and the S&P 500 in Its Dust

Bitcoin smashed another record Friday, punching through $118,000 during Asian trading and settling near $117,800 by midday in New York. The intraday peak—about $118,755—is regarded as bitcoin’s highest price ever recorded.

The benchmark cryptocurrency now sits 27% higher year-to-date—triple the S&P 500’s 7% climb and ahead of Nvidia, whose stock is up 22% after briefly cresting a $4 trillion valuation on Wednesday.

Two forces are seemingly driving the breakout. First, listed companies keep swapping cash for coins. MicroStrategy still leads, but a growing roster of midsize firms has followed since April’s post-tariff pullback, treating bitcoin as a balance sheet hedge rather than a speculative side bet.

Second, Washington has turned overtly crypto-friendly. President Donald Trump’s executive order creating a strategic bitcoin reserve signaled top-down support. A bipartisan Senate then passed the GENIUS Act, which would let private issuers bring dollar-backed stablecoins to market; House leaders vote next week.

ETF inflows also remain the accelerant. Spot bitcoin funds absorbed more than $2 billion this month alone, according to exchange data, as a softer US dollar nudged asset allocators toward hard-capped supply.

The last bull market apex was roughly $69,000 in November 2021. That level fell in early 2025 when Bitcoin first crossed $100,000, and it has now been left far behind.

Ether traded just shy of $3,000, extending the rebound that began after April’s “Liberation Day” tariffs spooked risk assets.
