The deal raises expectations of a crypto-friendly regulatory regime during Trump’s second term as US President.
Bitcoin - the world's largest and most popular cryptocurrency - has doubled in value this year.
This morning (November 20 - Asian time), the price of bitcoin stood at 92,104 USD.
Trump Media and Technology is close to completing a deal to acquire all of Bakkt's shares, two sources said.
News of the Trump deal has helped push Bitcoin to record highs, said Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at brokerage firm IG.
Traders also took advantage of the first day of trading of options related to BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF on the Nasdaq, a key event that could impact the value of Bitcoin.
The cryptocurrency market has seen a boom since the US presidential election on November 5.
Traders believe that US President-elect Trump will support digital assets, leading to a less restrictive regulatory regime and a revival for Bitcoin after a few months of price decline.
The growing excitement has pushed the global cryptocurrency market value to a record high of more than $3 trillion, according to data from data aggregation and analytics platform CoinGecko.
“Buying activity is driving Bitcoin and a fresh rally will attract more investors who like to buy strong assets,” said Chris Weston, head of research at online brokerage Pepperstone.
Many predict Bitcoin will reach $100,000/BTC. However, some experts warn investors not to get caught up in the cryptocurrency craze.
