Bitcoin’s meteoric rise in 2020 comes at the back of a major nosedive in March when the digital asset fell below $5,000 due to coronavirus lockdown fears.
Catalyzed by the halving event and an increased appetite by institutional investors, bitcoin is on a tear, smashing its own record set in 2017 and setting new peaks.
After reaching a new all-time high of over $24,000, bitcoin has pulled back and at press time, is exchanging hands for $23,288 per coin. The asset is up more than 200% against the USD in year-to-date (YTD) performance.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk trolled bitcoin on Twitter yesterday. Saylor offered to share his playbook with Musk offline, in an effort to convince the tech entrepreneur and billionaire to move a portion of Tesla’s balance sheet into bitcoin.
Traditional companies and bitcoin
Traditional companies initially frowned upon cryptocurrencies because the market lacked regulation, was headlined by major security breaches of exchanges, and the perception that the assets have no intrinsic value.The market was driven by retail investors and individuals who felt that the current financial system was biased against them.
However, as the industry matured, it attracted traditional companies who brought some form of legitimacy.

Digital payments company Square bought $50 million in bitcoin as part of its investment drive in cryptocurrencies. All this points to new market dynamics involving institutions betting big on bitcoin. Perhaps the only question is “who is next.”

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.
