The crypto asset (virtual currency) Bitcoin broke through 107,000 dollars on the 16th. The fact that the next US President Trump, who shows an attitude of promoting virtual currency, suggested a plan to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve such as a strategic petroleum reserve continues to be viewed as material.
The news that MicroStrategy, known for its active investment in bitcoins, will be adopted in the NASDAQ 100 Index was also a tailwind.
Bitcoin rose to 107,148 dollars at one point. After that, it remained around 106,877 dollars, which was 5.43 percent higher.
