Jakarta, RakyatNTT.ID – The past few weeks have been a thrilling period for traders holding gold and Bitcoin in their investment portfolios. Both assets have hit record-breaking highs, supported by a growing wave of investor confidence.

Gold prices soared to $3,900 per troy ounce (around Rp65 million) this week — a new all-time high. Meanwhile, on Sunday (October 5, 2025), Bitcoin surged to a historic peak of $125,000 (around Rp2 billion) before slightly retreating.

So far, 2025 has been a golden year for both commodities. Gold has seen its biggest rally since the 1970s, climbing more than 50% since January 1, while Bitcoin, despite volatility earlier in the year, has gained roughly one-third in value since the start of 2025.

Why Are Gold and Bitcoin Rising?

Gold has long been considered a safe-haven asset, favored during times of uncertainty. Its price has climbed more than 300% since late 2018, and several key factors are driving the current surge:

Geopolitical and economic uncertainty.

US President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs introduced in April raised concerns about the global economy, US debt sustainability, and the future of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

Geopolitical tensions.
