Bitcoin hits all-time high as Trump wins election A massive surge. By Matthews Martins on November 6, 2024 Credit: Tayfun Coskun / Anadolu via Getty Images UPDATE: Nov. 6, 2024, 5:38 a.m. UTC Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, declared by the Associated Press at 05:37 a.m. ET. This article has been updated to reflect this. It's been a long and winding road, but it finally happened: Bitcoin price has hit a new all-time-high. The most popular cryptocurrency traded at $75,358 early on Wednesday according to CoinGecko , surpassing the previous all-time-high price of $73,580, which Bitcoin had set in March. Looking back, it may not sound too long a wait for the crypto faithful, but Bitcoin has been zig-zagging on a downward sloping trajectory ever since that March peak, before finally picking up ahead of the U.S. election . At these prices, Bitcoin's total market cap (the value of all coins on the market) is about $1.5 trillion. Mashable
