The Real Reason Behind Bitcoin’s Mind-Blowing Surge to $80K? One Word: Cramer

Bitcoin is on a roll, as we might have mentioned a few times in the past couple of days. But let's recap quickly: BTC traded below $65,000 for weeks when all hell broke loose on Wednesday afternoon. Since then, the asset has skyrocketed by 25% and neared $80,000 earlier today for the first time in three months. The obvious question on everyone's mind is: Who is responsible for this spectacular rally? What's the reason behind it? Well, after reviewing tons of online material, we have finally reached a definitive conclusion. Did He Do It Again? Analysts, experts, market commentators, media websites, and our mothers: we have all speculated in the past 60 hours on what could be the driving force behind this mind-blowing surge to $80,000. And our conclusion shows clearly: It's not the US Treasury Department's announcement , it's not the major White House crypto meeting , it's not Trump's words that the US has to lead in crypto and might accumulate BTC, it's not the renewed ETF inflows , it's not the de-escalating war developments. None of those have the impact that the actual reason has. And that reason has a name: Jim Cramer. Let's rewind the clocks a few weeks. The man himself interviewed IBM CEO Arvind Krishna about the potential quantum threat and, after hearing Krishna's argument, announced on national TV that he would sell his bitcoin. "Arvind Krishna knows Bitcoin and quantum. And I am going to sell mine [Bitcoin]." On the question of whether that was a sufficient reason to dispose of his crypto assets, Cramer justified his decision by explaining that IBM's CEO is "the man" when it comes to quantum. Examples I mean, how much clearer than that could it have been? The signs were all there. We were just too blind to listen and follow through. Cramer has all the right history, showing that whatever he says is the absolute truth, whether we know it or not yet. Oh, wait, it was the other way around. Just a few examples: he created a PARC basket in July 2025 as a solid portfolio and added Coinbase (COIN) to it. A year later, COIN was down by over 60%. In late 2022, just after BTC had tumbled below $17,000, he advised investors to sell all of their crypto holdings. He said XRP, DOGE, ADA, and MATIC were going to zero. Needless to say, that was the end of the bear market at the time. Oh, and none of those went to $0. He has been so on-point with his major predictions that it has led to the creation of an "Inverse Cramer" X account that bets against all of his calls. That account has more than 1.4 million followers on X due to its success. Disclaimer: Obviously, this was a humorous article. The actual (possible) reasons are listed above. But the reality is that something has changed in the market. Trading volumes are 3x higher than this time last week, prices have rocketed, and legacy traditional media is back to covering crypto. Hopefully, more good times are ahead. Unless Cramer buys more BTC and announces it on national TV, of course.
