The recent factors that could may have together driven Bitcoin to the new price record are PayPal’s embracement of Bitcoin (even though with large restrictions, such as now crypto deposits from outside wallets and lack of crypto withdrawals), Microstrategy and Square allocating over half a million USD in Bitcoin.
