The bitcoin price has topped $90,000 per bitcoin, up 20% in a week, as traders eye $100,000 in the wake of Donald Trump's U.S. presidential victory, with Musk's "favorite" cryptocurrency dogecoin leading a price pump that's sent the combined market back over $3 trillion for the first time since 2021.

Musk’s concerns over the U.S.'s escalating $35 trillion debt coincide with a surge in bitcoin’s value, outpaced by the rapid rise of dogecoin, a meme-based bitcoin competitor that has gained traction with Musk’s support for the Department of Government Efficiency, known as Doge.
