Bitcoin Regains $80K Mark for First Time Since January

Bitcoin rose about 2% in the past 24 hours, briefly topping $80,000 on Monday, its highest level since January 31, 2026. The move extends a rebound of nearly 30% from its early-February low near $62,000.

Sentiment was boosted by progress in Washington, where industry and banking players reportedly reached a compromise on stablecoin yield rules under the CLARITY Act, with Senate review expected later this month.

Adding to momentum, speculation is building around a possible U.S. Bitcoin reserve initiative after comments from White House crypto adviser Patrick Witt suggested a major announcement linked to President Trump’s plan could arrive in the coming weeks.
