The virtual cash topped at $5,103.91 in the early hours of Saturday, as indicated by CoinDesk's value record.
The record high helped push the aggregate estimation of traded on an open market digital forms of money - including Ethereum and the Bitcoin-branch Bitcoin Cash - to more than $176bn.

Toward the begin of the year, one bitcoin exchanged for under $1,000, and as of late as July some market watchers expected that the cash could crash lower because of a mooted "common war" over its future.
In any case, from that point forward, its esteem has been supported, after the greater part of its designers and diggers - the individuals who approve exchanges by contributing processing power - started executing a trade off arrangement to give the innovation a chance to deal with more exchanges every moment.
Moreover, August's "fork" of the fundamental blockchain - the record of past Bitcoin exchanges - made the new virtual money Bitcoin Cash without making real interruption the first resource.
The two occasions pulled in media consideration, which has been connected to Bitcoin's consequent climb.
Regardless of the present fallback, one master said he anticipated that Bitcoin would keep on rising over the medium term.
"We've witnessed drops like this before when a specific number is hit - frequently in light of the fact that individuals have set requests with trades to leave a cash when it achieves a specific esteem," said Eitan Jankelewitz, an expert in cryptographic forms of money at the London-based law office Sheridans.
"What's more, it's human instinct to pick a round number [like $5,000].
"Yet, customary financial specialists are beginning to see having cryptographic money as a little piece of their enhanced portfolios as a satisfactory approach to include hazard.
"Besides, there are more organizations that are making it simple to purchase Bitcoin at scale without understanding how the innovation functions or how to protect it."
