Bitcoin Jumps Near $80,280 After Trump Supports Crypto Rules Bill

Bitcoin rose about 25% in a week to roughly $80,280 on August 25, 2026, its highest in three months. The jump came after President Trump backed the Clarity Act, a bill to set clearer rules for digital money like bitcoin. The bill isn't law yet. Kalshi traders guessed bitcoin would end 2026 near $75,000.
