Bitcoin hits record above $109,000 awaiting Trump

Bitcoin hit an all-time high of $109,241 before retreating to $107,765 at 0740 GMT, fueled by optimism over Trump's pro-crypto stance. Since his election win in November, Bitcoin has surged, crossing $100,000 in December after Trump nominated crypto supporter Paul Atkins to lead the SEC. Once a critic, Trump embraced cryptocurrencies during his campaign.
