According to the publication, Bitcoin's rise last year was driven by Donald Trump's victory in the US election and hopes that his administration would be favorable to cryptocurrencies.
However, by 2025, its price had fallen by almost 12 percent. The number of Britons investing in Bitcoin also fell from 12 percent to 8 percent.
