Explainer: Bitcoin's volatile run from $100,000 high to sub-$65,000 slump
A glossary-style explainer traces Bitcoin's price swings, noting it passed $100,000 in December 2024, reached $120,000 in July 2025 amid US regulatory debate, hit roughly $126,000 in October 2025, then fell below $65,000 in early February 2026. The piece also notes Donald Trump's shift from calling Bitcoin a 'scam' to pledging to make the US the 'crypto capital of the world', and reiterates that Bitcoin's creator, known as Satoshi Nakamoto, remains unidentified.
