On Tuesday, Bitcoin surged to a one-month high of $74,193.7, gaining 4.7% as a result of an improving risk appetite and declining oil prices, which fell below $100 a barrel. This increase comes amid a broader rally in global financial markets, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both posting significant gains on Monday. The positive sentiment was further supported by news of ongoing diplomatic discussions between the U.S. and Iran, despite recent tensions. Additionally, Strategy Inc. announced it had acquired 13,927 bitcoins for approximately $1 billion, funded partly through preferred stock sales, raising its total Bitcoin holdings to 780,897 BTC. Other cryptocurrencies also experienced gains, with Ethereum rising 8% to $2,361.92 and XRP increasing 3.6% to $1.36.
