Bitcoin extended its long-term climb on U.S. Independence Day, changing hands at roughly $109,000 on 4 July 2025, according to multiple pricing snapshots published on Thursday. The level marks a near-doubling from the approximately $58,600 recorded on the same date in 2024 and represents a more than 1,300-fold increase from the $80 quoted in 2013. The milestone underscores the cryptocurrency’s resilience through successive market cycles, halvings and broader adoption by institutional investors. While intraday volatility remains a feature of the asset class, the latest Independence Day reading puts Bitcoin well above the $100,000 threshold that had eluded it in previous rallies.
