Earlier today, the cryptocurrency hit a new all-time high of $49,000 on the Bitstamp exchange before retracing below $47,000. Its market cap has reached $900 billion for the first time.
The flagship coin has soared over 26 percent this week alone, with its rally being bolstered by Tesla, Mastercard, and BNY Mellon.
It is also currently bigger than all but three U.S. public companies (Apple, Microsoft, and Alphabet).
