Bitcoin is up more than 4% from its record low of $1,150 on Wednesday, according an analysis from CryptoCompare.
Bitcoin is up around 7% since mid-November when the crypto-currency crashed after a hacking incident that sent $2.5 million worth of bitcoins to an address controlled by a Chinese man.
In a separate report, the Wall Street Journal said bitcoin’s price had risen more than 25% in the past week, adding to the rally that started last week.
The cryptocurrency was worth $1.2 billion at the end of June, when it traded at a low of about $750.
It rose to $1.,150 a coin on Thursday, the day after the hack, and then climbed to $3,858 on Friday.
The Wall Street Bank reported Thursday that it has $5.3 billion in assets under management, including $1 billion in gold and silver, while the London-based bank also owns a stake in cryptocurrency exchange BTC-e.
The London-headquartered exchange has a market capitalization of $6.5 billion.
