After an initial tumble to its lowest levels this year soon after Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs on April 2, the notoriously volatile bitcoin has slowly clawed back ground.

Bitcoin climbed to $99,475, inching very close to the $100,000 mark, as of Thursday, May 8, at 4:57 am ET. This rally is driven by macroeconomic uncertainty and dovish U.S. monetary policy with investors flocking to alternative assets.

Persistent trade tensions between…
