# The U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve proposal ignites market enthusiasm as Bitcoin strongly breaks through $105,000

According to Zhitong Finance APP, on Monday morning in Asia, Bitcoin broke through $105,000, setting a new historical high, thanks to comments from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who previously stated that he plans to establish a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve similar to its Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

Data shows that Bitcoin once reached a high of $106,569.4, and as of the time of writing, the trading price of the cryptocurrency is $105,032.3.

IG analyst Tony Sycamore stated that news over the weekend reported that Trump would continue to push for a Bitcoin strategic reserve fund, leading to the rise in Bitcoin prices.

"There have been some outlandish ideas proposed," Sycamore said, "The next expected number for the market is $110,000. Many were anticipating a pullback, but that did not happen because we received this news."

Since Trump was elected on November 5 alongside many other candidates supportive of cryptocurrencies, the price of Bitcoin has surged by over 50%.

Trump stated last week, "We are going to do some great things in the cryptocurrency space... Other countries are embracing it, but we want to be the leader."

When asked if he plans to establish a cryptocurrency reserve similar to the oil reserve, Trump pointed out, "Yes, I think so."

It is understood that the cryptocurrency industry has spent over $119 million supporting pro-cryptocurrency candidates in the U.S. Congress, aiming to strengthen the influence of those promoting digital assets through cryptocurrency-friendly legislation.

This month, Trump also appointed a White House artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency czar—former PayPal (PYPL.US) executive David Sacks, a close friend of Trump's advisor and major donor Elon Musk
