Bitcoin has reached a historic milestone in India, breaking past the ₹1.02 crore mark for the first time. On August 9, it was trading at ₹1,02,25,479 before climbing above ₹1.03 crore the next day, setting an all-time high that has sparked excitement across the financial community.
The surge mirrors global momentum, with Bitcoin also crossing $117,000 internationally. Growing institutional investment, coupled with strong demand from Indian investors, has pushed prices into uncharted territory. Many see it as a hedge against traditional assets like gold, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
For some, even owning a fraction of a Bitcoin has now become a status symbol. The digital currency’s capped supply of 21 million coins continues to fuel scarcity-driven demand, while large companies and funds keep adding to their holdings.
Analysts believe this could be the start of a broader crypto bull run, though opinions remain divided on whether the peak is near or just another milestone on the way up. What’s certain is that Bitcoin’s journey—from being worth a few rupees in 2010 to over ₹1 crore in 2025—has redefined how India views money, investment, and the future of finance.
