$26k! Bitcoin's got a new all-time high, even higher than this afternoon's all-time high, this morning's, yesterday's and those broadcast in our countless other 'all-time high' articles over the past few months, each of which Decrypt, perhaps out of cynicism, thought could last us for a long time. But on and on Bitcoin goes, ever upward, with poise.
Today, Bitcoin hit $26,557, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap. After it limped to $25,000 at the start of the day (UTC), Bitcoin jumped from $24,923 at 2 pm to $25,196 and then spent the rest of the afternoon marching slowly to $26,000. In a burst of energy, traders at about 8:30 pm shunted the price up from $25,948 to $26,557, Bitcoin's new all-time high.
Bitcoin's price is still $26,503, as of this writing. That marks an 8.43% increase in the past 24 hours.
Bitcoin's market cap is currently $490 billion. As Decrypt reported earlier today, Bitcoin has surpassed both Visa and Mastercard in terms of market capitalization.
Why Bitcoin rose to the next $1,000 bracket this evening is anyone's guess. But in recent months, the general consensus is that institutional investors have bought up huge swathes of Bitcoin. MicroStrategy has bought about $1 billion in Bitcoin, MassMutual another $100 million, and SkyBridge Capital $25 million.

Late Thursday evening, Israeli fighter jets struck Iranian nuclear facilities, opening a wave of instability across global markets, with two camps split on what to do: those running for shelter and those fleeing risk. Gold, long considered a safe haven, beckoned investors seeking safety from the escalating Middle East conflict. Bitcoin, often touted as digital gold, instead joined the exodus of risk assets. "The traditional buyers of gold are not in the crypto market yet,” Stephen Wundke, direc...
GameStop shares plummeted on Thursday after the video game retailer announced that it would offer investors $1.75 billion worth of convertible senior notes, a form of corporate debt that Bitcoin-buying firms like Strategy have tapped to accumulate the asset. The Grapevine, Texas-based firm’s stock price had dropped 22% to $22.12, as of noon Eastern Time, according to Yahoo Finance. GameStop shares changed hands around $25.40 in late March, when the company said that it could start leveraging Bit...
