Since the price of bitcoin rose above the $30,000 range for the first time in ten months, worldwide Google Trends data shows the search term “bitcoin” has reached a score of 93 out of 100 in the last seven days.
According to Bitcoin.com, a Google Trends (GT) score of 100 indicates the peak popularity of a search term in a selected region and time period. It also means that more people are searching for the term than at any other time in the past.
On the other hand, a score of zero indicates insufficient data to measure the search term. Google Trends data, in terms of search history, dates back to 2004 and the search term bitcoin scored 2 in June 2011 for the first time.
Subsequently, the search volume for bitcoin increased in the last 24 hours. Over the past 30 days, the search term has a score of 64 out of 100.

As of March 2023, GT data shows the score for bitcoin search interest is 23 out of 100. This score is higher than the lowest value of 17 out of 100 in December 2022.
