Bitcoin prices recover after a short slump
According to Coingecko data, Bitcoin is trading at around $85,787 as of April 15, showing good performance over the past 24 hours. Cryptocurrency has grown about 2.5% since the end of the first quarter on March 31st.
Prices bounced back from a short drop below $75,000 on April 7th. That temporary decline came after US President Donald Trump caused wider market sales, caused by new global tariffs.
The growing interest in top crypto is due to more companies looking to diversify their Treasury holdings. The total value of Bitcoin from a public company rose by around 2.3% in the first quarter, with BTC price reaching $82,400 by the end of the quarter and BTC price reaching about $57 billion.
