Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Could Hit $150,000 This Year

Michael Saylor, the Executive Chairman of Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), predicts that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of the year, citing the growing interest in alternatives to traditional investments and the exponential growth of the digital-asset industry. 

Speaking at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas, where Saylor made the prediction statement in an interview with CNBC, he also discussed the evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency industry, elaborated on Strategy’s innovative digital credit offerings, and mentioned the milestone S&P rating for his company.

Michael Saylor Predicts Bitcoin Could Hit $150,000, Based on the Research of Equity Analysts

Michael Saylor’s year-end target of $150,000 for Bitcoin is supported by the equity analysts who specialize in the cryptocurrency market and publicly traded companies. He thinks that the acceptance of tokenized securities by the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s support for stablecoins to preserve U.S. dollar dominance, and broader developments in the global regulatory and financial frameworks are major catalysts for Bitcoin’s dominance.

Saylor mentioned the ‘B-’ rating for Strategy by S&P, the first rating for a Bitcoin treasury company by a prominent agency, as the beginning of institutional acceptance of Bitcoin-backed credit instruments. The arrival of major Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan and Bank of America also signals an extremely bullish scenario for BTC.

“Our expectation right now is that by the end of the year, it should be about $150,000, and that’s the consensus of the equity analysts who cover our company and the Bitcoin industry”

He also thinks that Bitcoin will exhibit an annual 30% growth for the next 20 years, leading to $20 million per Bitcoin. 

Digital Credit Instruments Like $STRK, $STRF, $STRD, & $STRC Are 2 to 4x More Efficient than Traditional Credit, Saylor

During the Money 20/20 talk with Scott Melker ( aka The Wolf Of All Streets), Michael Saylor emphasized the efficiency of credit instruments provided by his Strategy, which will diversify the digital asset portfolios of investors and provide better features than traditional investments.

At present, Strategy provides four perpetual preferred stocks: Series A Perpetual Strike Preferred Stock ($STRK), Series A Perpetual Strife Preferred Stock ($STRF), Series A Stride Preferred Stock ($STRD), and Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Stretch Preferred Stock ($STRC), offering diverse exposure.

In my discussion yesterday at @Money2020 with @ScottMelker, I explained why Digital Credit instruments like $STRK, $STRF, $STRD, $STRC are 2–4x more efficient than Traditional Credit — and how Strategy has become the world’s most scalable, tax-efficient generator of fixed income. pic.twitter.com/OX6vFZ4i78

Why is Strategy Stock Going Down Today Despite Saylor’s Optimism?

Strategy Inc Class A (NASDAQ: MSTR) is around 3% down today, trading near $275. The downtrend is due to the broader correction in crypto-driven stocks, ignited by the profit-taking-driven sell-offs in the cryptocurrency market. Major stocks such as Coinbase Global and Robinhood are also down, and analysts expect the market to rebound soon after this short-term volatility.

In addition to the crypto market’s short-term bearish trend, Strategy’s purchase of 227 Bitcoins last week also weakened its market capitalization.

Additionally, the ‘B-’ rating by S&P, indicating a risky investment option, detached various investors from the stock. However, Strategy has the potential to rebound and exhibit an extreme bullish scenario in the coming weeks.

The Bottom Line: Are Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Predictions Trustworthy? 

Michael Saylor’s price forecasts are primarily intended for long-term holders who aim to hold the asset for their lifetime. While his forecasts have the support of Bitcoin’s fundamentals and macroeconomic conditions, analysts often criticize that he lacks technical analysis.
