"Bitcoin's characteristics, which have traditionally been associated with assets such as gold, have prompted companies to consider the first cryptocurrency as a means of diversifying their asset allocation," they saidin Matrixport.

The new bull market officially began on June 22, 2023, when Bitcoin hit a new yearly high for the first time in a year. 

"Based on this signal, we estimate that bitcoin could reach $125,000 by December 2024," they wrotein the company.
