Bitcoin holds its highest level in three months as policy debate heats up

Bitcoin is rebounding from its October 2025 all time high near $126,198, trading at its highest level in three months after the Trump administration endorsed a federal digital asset framework.

Bitcoin is rebounding from its all time high of about $126,198 set in October 2025, and is currently trading at its highest level in three months, according to Yahoo Finance.

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump met with cryptocurrency company executives and publicly endorsed the CLARITY Act, a proposal that would establish federal guidelines for digital assets, with experts saying passage could improve market stability and encourage more institutional participation in a regulated sector.

The Yahoo Finance story also looks back at a mainstream television moment, citing a 2012 episode of The Good Wife that credited one of the earliest widespread mentions of Bitcoin, in contrast to a later Dec. 8, 2013 episode of The Simpsons.

It says Bitcoin was trading at $3.41 at the time the Good Wife episode aired, and that a $100 investment then would have grown to $2,132,149.77 today, based on the figures referenced in the article.
