The cryptocurrency bitcoin recorded an all-time high (ATH) of $112,000, first time crossing over beyond the $112,000 mark. Launched in 2009, Bitcoin has seen a steady price rise over the year, recording all-time highs from time to time. Wednesday's ATH came after a stagnation caused by Trump's tariff policies, after prices hit their previous all-time high in May of around $111,891.

However, Wednesday's rise in Bitcoin prices was followed by a sharp fall. As of this writing, bitcoin prices had consolidated from its all-time high of $112,055 to around $110,000, later on Wednesday afternoon.

In this article, we'll look at 5 times Bitcoin hit all-time highs (ATH):
