Bitcoin rallied to an all-time high on Friday, powered by demand from institutional investors and crypto-friendly policies from U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Bitcoin broke through $11,800, hitting a new all-time high with a 24-hour price increase of 6.25%.

"Bitcoin's new all-time high is being driven by relentless institutional accumulation - major players are scooping up supply and drying up liquidity on exchanges," said Joshua Chu, co-chair of the Hong Kong Web3 Association.

In March, Trump signed an executive order to establish a strategic reserve of cryptocurrencies. He has also appointed several crypto-friendly individuals, including Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Paul Atkins and White House artificial intelligence czar David Sacks.

Trump's family businesses have also made forays into cryptocurrencies. Trump Media & Technology is looking to launch an exchange-traded fund to invest in multiple crypto tokens including Bitcoin, an SEC filing on Tuesday showed.

Ether, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, similarly jumped nearly 7% to $2,996.
