Bitcoin\u2019s price experienced another uptick in the past few hours as the asset tapped $104,000 for the third time in the past week.<\/p>\n

This one came after a rather interesting promise by US President Donald Trump, who said that many Americans, aside from high-income people, would get a dividend of at least $2,000 per person.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s promise came after he defended the tariffs against numerous nations that he imposed during his current presidential run. The US Supreme Court is currently hearing<\/a> arguments on whether these tariffs are even legal, while multiple experts have spoken against them.<\/p>\n

These dividends of at least $2,000 reminded of similar \u2018free money checks\u2019 that many Americans received \u2013 the stimulus sent during the first days of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, when countless businesses had to close temporarily and people were left without jobs, the US government began sending checks of $1,200 to people.<\/p>\n

The ever-vigilant and vocal crypto community started to speculate whether these funds were used to purchase crypto, and many altcoins exploded shortly after, which intensified the rumors.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, BTC\u2019s price, alongside most altcoins, spiked in the past few hours after Trump made his announcements, which brought comparisons between the two events.<\/p>\n
