Bitcoin pushed above $71,500 Thursday morning, its highest level since June 1, after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent succeeded in pulling US bond yields lower and President Trump held a meeting with crypto industry leaders at the White House. The move puts Bitcoin roughly $7,600 above where it sat a day earlier, an unusually violent single-session repricing for an asset that had spent five weeks locked between $62,000 and $66,000. Other digital assets rallied alongside it.
