Bitcoin inches closer to $110K amid global debt concerns and gold price surge
The post Bitcoin inches closer to $110K amid global debt concerns and gold price surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitcoin reached a new record high amid Japan’s debt concerns and an increase in gold prices. Corporate buying by Strategy and Metaplanet has been linked to Bitcoin’s recent price gains. Bitcoin touched $109,845 on Binance Wednesday morning, surpassing its January high of $109,588 and being on track to hit $110,000 amid mounting concerns over global fiscal stability that have also fueled a rally in gold. Gold prices rose 0.6% to $3,312 an ounce at press time, after briefly touching their highest level since May 12, according to TradingView.

In the US, fiscal uncertainty is growing as the national debt nears $36 trillion and major policy deadlines approach in 2025. Without tax and spending reforms, the debt could exceed 120% of GDP within the next decade. Rising interest rates have already increased borrowing costs, while political gridlock and expiring tax provisions threaten a fiscal cliff. Analysts warn that without a credible plan to control spending, the US may face higher borrowing costs, slower growth, and greater economic instability. This climate of uncertainty is boosting demand for safe-haven assets like gold, and Bitcoin appears to be following gold’s lead. For months, market analysts have been watching the relationship between Bitcoin and gold, noting how the flagship crypto has increasingly mirrored gold’s behavior rather than tracking traditional risk assets like US equities. Market analyst MacroScope said in a recent post that the anticipated “gold-to-Bitcoin handoff” is now playing out,…
