What Happened
Bitcoin's crossing of $100,000 in December 2024 represented a psychological milestone years in the making. The rally was catalyzed by Trump's November 2024 election victory and his pro-crypto campaign promises, record ETF inflows exceeding $100 billion cumulative, and growing speculation about a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The Fear & Greed Index hit 94, one of the highest readings ever recorded. Media coverage reached saturation across mainstream, financial, and crypto outlets, with the $100K milestone generating more coverage than any Bitcoin price event since the first crossing of $10,000.
