The rally began shortly after Donald Trump posted on Truth Social, calling for a 3% Federal Reserve rate cut.
Shares of publicly listed crypto companies also rallied, with MicroStrategy, Coinbase, Riot Platforms, and Marathon Holdings all gaining between 4% and 6%.
Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high above $112,000
on Wednesday, breaking out of weeks-long consolidation after U.S.
President Donald Trump called the Federal Reserve’s interest rates “at least 3
points too high.” The move came amid a broader rally across crypto assets, with
Ethereum’s ether jumping 5% to $2,746, its highest in nearly a month.
Earlier, the largest cryptocurrency gained 3% to $111,907, briefly reaching new record levels across major
exchanges including Binance, Coinbase, and Bitstamp.
The breakout followed a prolonged period of price
compression near $110,000, where previous rallies had repeatedly reversed as
traders took profits and short positions mounted.
Trump Comments Trigger Risk-On Repricing
The sudden upward move began just 30 minutes after
Trump posted on Truth Social that the current federal funds rate should be
lowered by 300 basis points (3%). He claimed such a cut would save $360 billion
annually in refinancing costs. Bitcoin, which had been trading quietly earlier
in the day, began climbing steadily following the post.

No single cut in modern U.S. history has exceeded 100
bps, and a 3% reduction in a growing economy could push inflation above 5%,
weaken the dollar by over 10%, and cause housing prices to surge amid lower
mortgage rates, Coindesk reported.
Asset markets, including stocks and commodities, would
likely rally sharply in the short term—the S&P 500 could reach 7,000, and gold $5,000, but at the cost of longer-term macroeconomic stability.
Publicly Traded Crypto Firms
The rally extended to publicly traded crypto firms.
MicroStrategy (MSTR) climbed 4.4% to $414, approaching its 2025 highs but still
below last year’s $543 peak. Coinbase (COIN) rose 5%, while bitcoin miners Riot
Platforms (RIOT) and Marathon Holdings (MARA) added around 6% each.
Ether also drew investor attention, rising 5% to
$2,746. Bitcoin’s climb also reflects its increasing role as a
hedge against monetary uncertainty. Since Trump’s “Liberation Day” speech in
April, the asset has gained traction among investors positioning for inflation
and geopolitical risk.
While Bitcoin’s price has now set a new record,
questions remain about its ability to hold above $112,000. The $110,000 zone
could flip into support if momentum continues, but traders are watching closely
for signs of exhaustion or consolidation.
