According to Bitwise\u2019s Jeff Park, Bitcoin has gone from a risky experiment to a six-figure asset over three New York mayoral terms.<\/p>\n
It started near $754 when Michael Bloomberg left office in December 2013. Now, as the city prepares for its next election, it\u2019s trading above $107,000<\/a>. These numbers show a rise of about 14,590% in just over a decade.<\/p>\n Bill de Blasio took over in January 2014. At first, Bitcoin barely budged. But by December 2021, it hit roughly $47,000. That climb happened while de Blasio\u2019s two terms played out on City Hall\u2019s stage. The crypto market had its ups and downs, yet the overall trend pointed skyward under his watch.<\/p>\n Worth noting that in the time it took New York to go from Bloomberg to Mamdani, Bitcoin soared from $754 to $106,000+ today.<\/p>\n You may not see nor believe it right away, but this is actually not a coincidence.<\/p>\n Separate money from state.<\/p>\n \u2014 Jeff Park (@dgt10011) June 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n When Eric Adams<\/a> stepped in as mayor in January 2022, he made headlines by taking his first paychecks in Bitcoin. The move sent a clear message that New York was open to crypto.<\/p>\n The market then endured a tough 2022 bear phase. Still, Bitcoin bounced back strong in 2023 and kept going. This month, it\u2019s up about 3% and sits at $107,567, according to figures by Coingecko.<\/p>\n Separate Money From State<\/strong><\/p>\n Park used the mayor count as a storytelling tool. He\u2019s calling for a break between money and government. His view: people should choose how they handle their own cash.<\/p>\n Political shifts come and go, but Bitcoin keeps growing<\/a> on its own terms. That steady rise speaks to the idea of financial freedom outside state control.<\/p>\n New Leadership And Future Trends<\/strong><\/p>\nMayoral Timeline Marks Bitcoin Growth<\/strong><\/h2>\n
