Bitcoin hits new highs "but with no volume"? Research analysis: Wall Street media deliberately ignores, still skeptical of encryption.

Bitcoin breaks through $111,900, with scarce reports from mainstream financial media, Perception data reveals information gaps and narrative discrepancies (Background: What if Bitcoin hits a new high? Experts warn "it could drop back to $95,000" as the overall economy is preparing to crash) (Background supplement: Bitcoin breaks through $112,000 to create a new historical high, NVIDIA's market capitalization first breaks $4 trillion, becoming the first company in history) Bitcoin (BTC) stands at a new high of $111,900, shocking global markets. However, upon reviewing The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and The New York Times, articles linked to this milestone are few, creating a stark contrast between the "price uproar" and "media silence." High but low-key: Only 13 relevant articles Market intelligence firm Perception conducted statistics on 18 mainstream media outlets and 1,116 cryptocurrency reports. Overall, positive coverage was 31%, neutral 41%, and negative 28%. However, when Bitcoin reached its historical peak, The Wall Street Journal published only 2 articles, while the Financial Times and The New York Times combined published 11 articles, which accounted for only 2% of the total. Against the backdrop of rapidly rising prices and attention, the reported figures appear particularly thin. The Perception report summarizes three narrative paths that mainstream media take towards Bitcoin: first, the "enthusiastic adoption" camp, such as Forbes, CNBC, and Barron's, focusing on retail and institutional adoption, Bitcoin ETF development, and the mining industry. Secondly, "deliberately ignoring" media like The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and The New York Times publish few reports, with tones mostly neutral or reserved. Finally, "continuously skeptical" comprehensive media and Fox News focus on criminal activities, regulatory risks, and security. Behind the silence: Information asymmetry and risks When investors rely on elite media as their primary information source, they can easily fall into a limited perspective. The Perception report warns: "Investors may therefore be 'systematically underreported' on Bitcoin's importance in today's financial system." Although high-frequency financial media and community platforms fill the vacuum, they also amplify emotional fluctuations and speculation, potentially forming information echo chambers. In other words, the real risk may not come from price volatility but from imbalanced background information. Regardless of how the narratives diverge, institutional ETFs and corporate balance sheets have gradually included Bitcoin, showing its position in the mainstream asset pool is continuously solidifying. In the face of potential neglect and silence from elite media, investors need to proactively collect information across platforms, compare data, and establish diverse perspectives. Cross-validation from multiple sources is not only a preparatory step for adjusting asset allocation but also a core hedging tool to avoid information bias. While Bitcoin prices refresh their highs, they also remind the market to reflect: in an age of overwhelming information, what truly deserves attention is not just where the rises and falls are, but which voices are left outside the microphone.
