The price has been gradually increasing since the first day of the month, and it reached $123,850 several hours ago.<\/p>\n<p>This means that BTC was just inches away from reaching its all-time high of $124,130, which was witnessed in mid-August.

As <em>CryptoPotato<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoins-bull-run-backed-by-growing-long-term-holders\/\">reported<\/a>, the latest rally is supported by the rising share of long-term holders (LTHs), signaling growing confidence among that group of investors.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the market capitalization of BTC has temporarily spiked to almost $2.5 trillion, thus <a href=\"https:\/\/companiesmarketcap.com\/assets-by-market-cap\/\">surpassing<\/a> Amazon and becoming the seventh-biggest asset in the world.
