For Mt​=sup0≤s≤t​Bs​, the reflection principle gives
P(Mt​≥x)=2P(Bt​≥x)=P(∣Bt​∣≥x),
(1)
so Mt​ and ∣Bt​∣ have the same distribution.

Brownian running maximum
Brownian motion attains its maximum on [0,1] at a unique time M∗ almost surely. This time has the arcsine distribution
P(M∗≤s)=π2​arcsins​,0≤s≤1.
