Bitcoin surpasses $50K as major companies back the digital asset big-time

Bitcoin’s hot-streak run has seen the leading digital asset break through the $50K level to start trading in a whole new territory.

The digital asset’s incredible run is summed up by the fact that it was trading around $4,000 less than 12 months ago.

The incredible run

The road to $50,000 has been interesting for bitcoin, especially given that it came off in the middle of a pandemic, which at one point, tanked bitcoin alongside the rest of the financial markets.

Bitcoin briefly traded above $50,000 yesterday when Microstrategy shared its plans to raise $600 in debt financing to stock additional bitcoin. 

But the momentum did not hold for long and the digital asset briefly retreated. However, it managed not only to reclaim $50,000 but also smashed past $51K to register a new historic peak.

Driven by the high-riding digital asset, all the cryptocurrencies attained a market cap of $1 trillion in early January. It seems that bitcoin is on the brink of registering another major milestone achievement: a market cap of $1 trillion.

For bitcoin to achieve this, it must fetch a price of $53,000. Given its past run, it does not seem impossible at all. The digital asset currently has a market cap of $953 billion, CoinMarketCap data shows.

A hedge against inflation

Bitcoin’s success is also a reflection of the demise of fiat currencies due to monetary expansion.

Unlike the previous bull cycles fuelled by retail investors, the current bull is sustained by the growing number of institutional players looking to hedge against inflation.

Tesla’s much-publicized $1.5 billion bitcoin bet is only a microcosm of the policy shift in how companies are utilizing their free liquidity. The carmaker was the catalyst of how companies are allocating a portion of their balance sheet to bitcoin.

Mastercard, PayPal, BNY Mellon, MassMutual, and many more are making big moves into the crypto industry.

Today, a German publicly-traded revealed that it was turning to bitcoin because of its concerns “about a massive devaluation of fiat currency.”

What comes next?

The companies that have traditionally downplayed the role of bitcoin are slowly warming up to the cryptocurrency industry. 

As institutional capital continues to flow in the market, the price would likely go up as the demand outpaces the supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.

How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?

We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
