Bitcoin Surges 4.7% to $102,500 as Institutional Adoption Grows

Bitcoin has surged past the $100,000 milestone, trading at approximately $102,500 with a 4.7% gain over the past 24 hours. This significant move is accompanied by growing signals of institutional adoption, as highlighted by recent corporate announcements. Jetking, an Indian public company, has revealed plans to accumulate up to 18,000 BTC as part of a long-term strategy. According to Jetking CEO Harsh Bharwani, the company aims to increase its Bitcoin holdings to about 180 BTC in the next six months and potentially scale its position to 18,000 BTC before the next halving cycle around 2028 or by 2030.

Adding to the institutional adoption narrative, Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has announced the launch of a 2025 Bitcoin Standard Model. This model is designed to provide structured guidance for companies looking to integrate Bitcoin into their operations. The ultimate aim is to accelerate institutional and enterprise adoption of Bitcoin by standardizing and simplifying the processes involved. Strategy's bullish approach toward Bitcoin, regardless of market conditions, makes this initiative particularly noteworthy. Analysts expect that Strategy's new plan will not only increase Bitcoin's mainstream adoption but also catalyze further institutional involvement, setting new standards and driving more companies to integrate Bitcoin into their core business and treasury operations.

Bitcoin has consolidated above the $100,000 mark, trading strongly near $102,500 at the time of reporting. This move marks Bitcoin's first sustained period above $100K since pulling back from its January 20, 2025, all-time high near $109,356. Successfully holding the $100,000 support level could boost Bitcoin's returning bullish momentum, potentially triggering a surge that would see the flagship cryptocurrency establish a new all-time high. The recent developments in institutional adoption and strategic initiatives by major players in the industry suggest a growing acceptance and integration of Bitcoin into mainstream financial operations.
