Benzinga - Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC/USD) touched around $39K on Friday, surging to the highest level this year since May 2022.

The token attained new heights despite restraint from regulators on the crypto domain, which includes Binance's settlement worth $4.3 billion last month.

Bitcoin closed higher by about 5% in the Thanksgiving week and will likely approach 3% higher this week.

Yesterday, MicroStrategy purchased additional Bitcoin, according to a post on the social media platform X from CEO Michael Saylor.
