According to CoinMarketCap, on Monday, March 4, the cryptocurrency reached a new annual level of $65,000. At the moment, the cost of BTC reached $65,494, and the asset continues to grow. Over the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has grown by more than 5%. On the weekly timeframe, the cost of the first cryptocurrency rose by almost 27%, which became an absolute record for 2024.

The total capitalization of the digital asset market increased by 1.29% and reached $2.38 trillion. Cointelegraph analysts note that despite the active growth in the price of Bitcoin in recent days, shares of the largest mining companies have fallen in price by 27% over the past three days. This may be due to fatigue in the mining industry ahead of the halving. However, analysts see this as a positive and an opportunity to buy cheap shares of miners.
