Investors and traders of Bitcoin may have noticed that they can now buy fewer satoshis per one U.S. dollar than at the start of 2023. Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has been highly sought-after this year, with its price increasing over 70% since January 1st. The rise in its value implies that it now takes 42% less satoshis to purchase a U.S. dollar. A satoshi is the smallest unit of a Bitcoin, equivalent to 0.00000001 BTC, and there is a total supply of 21 million of them.

The increasing demand for Bitcoin has pushed its market capitalization to $549 billion and although its price is currently just below the $30,000 psychological barrier, it peaked at $29,000 on March 30th. It is possible that BTC will continue to rise if the financial system becomes more stable as predicted by Chief Market Strategist at InTheMoneyStocks.com Gareth Soloway. He believes that the price could reach as high as $13,000.

At the same time, it is worth noting that cryptocurrency is still a volatile asset, so those who are looking to invest in it should be mindful of the risks it entails. While Bitcoin is certainly popular amongst many investors, due to its finite supply and promising future, it is important to perform thorough research and be aware of the rapid price changes it undergoes.
