Bitcoin briefly touched $87,300 overnight, its highest level since January 2026, before settling around $86,795, up 1.67% on the day and now sitting on a rare three-month winning streak — July's 4.8% gain, August's 25.2% surge, and September's current 10.9% advance — a pattern Bitcoin has only achieved once before, in 2012. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $998.95 million in net inflows, their largest single-day haul since October 6, 2025, when funds pulled in $1.2 billion, with the move attributed to renewed risk appetite, strong spot ETF demand, and short covering after price broke through key technical levels. Strategy's Bitcoin holdings have now crossed $73.56 billion in value, reinforcing the scale of corporate treasury conviction behind this rally.

Notably, the only prior July-to-September winning streak in 2012 was followed by a 9.7% October pullback before an eventual rally of over 2,000% from that monthly low — a historical footnote traders are watching closely, even though today's multi-trillion-dollar, institutionally deep market bears little resemblance to 2012's much smaller ecosystem.
