The cryptocurrency world woke up to a Monday morning surprise as Bitcoin smashed through the $109,000 mark, setting a new all-time high. This dramatic spike came hours before President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, sending cryptocurrency enthusiasts and X users into meme frenzy.
As the world watched the digital currency defying expectations, X users poured their creativity into posts and turned the platform into a goldmine of hilarity.
Crypto data aggregator CoinGecko kicked off with a cheeky post. Sharing a mashup of Bitcoin’s new all-time high (ATH) and Squid Game Season 2, they posted: “Bitcoin recorded a new ATH above $109K. Are we going to see another breakout after @realDonaldTrump takes office?”

Melania Trump launched her own cryptocurrency on Sunday.
