- States such as New Hampshire and Arizona passed Bitcoin reserve strategy legislation.
- Bitcoin is projected to hit an all-time high of $200,000 by the end of 2025.
The crypto market experienced a surge in May due to favorable regulations, institutional adoption, and innovative development. A report by Ikigai Asset Management highlighted this growth was mainly fueled by major purchases such as the $2.7 billion investment from Strategy (MSTR) and $5.2 billion in BTC ETF inflows.
According to Travis Kling, the Chief Investment Officer of Ikigai Asset Management, companies such as Nakamoto Holdings and Trump Media also made major Bitcoin treasury moves in May, which led to this sudden growth. Similarly, VivoPower and Sharplink started diversifying into XRP and Ethereum.
On May 6 and 7, 2025, New Hampshire and Arizona, respectively, passed bitcoin reserve bills, showing political support. The regulatory clarity improved with the GENIUS Stablecoin Bill progressing and receiving confirmation from the SEC and OCC, underscoring crypto operations in banks.
