Google search volume for ‘Bitcoin’ skyrockets amid BTC price swings
The surge in Google search activity for “Bitcoin” led Bitwise’s head of Europe, André Dragosch, to claim that “retail is coming back.”
Google search volume for the term “Bitcoin” surged over the past week as the asset’s price briefly fell to the $60,000 level for the first time since October 2024.
Google Trends provisional data shows worldwide searches for “Bitcoin” reached a score of 100 for the week starting Feb. 1, the highest level in the past 12 months.
The previous peak was a score of 95 in the week of Nov. 16–23, when Bitcoin (BTC) slipped below the psychological $100,000 level for the first time in nearly six months.
