Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has long been a staunch advocate for Bitcoin, and his latest comments suggest he believes the cryptocurrency is on the verge of a major milestone.
As Bitcoin recently surpassed the $93,000 mark, Saylor shared his enthusiasm on social media, teasing a “Bitcoin 100k party” in anticipation of the cryptocurrency breaking through the $100,000 level.
Bitcoin has experienced remarkable growth over the past ten days, climbing nearly 38% from just under $65,000 to the $93,000 range. This impressive rally included an 8% surge in just one day, before a slight pullback brought the price to around $90,740. The recent spike can be attributed to several factors, including a shift in U.S. political leadership and a rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
The latest interest rate reduction, a 25 basis point cut, marks the second this year, following a 50 basis point cut in September. With Bitcoin’s rapid rise this November, many crypto enthusiasts had predicted this uptick, given the historically bullish momentum the market tends to experience during this time of year.
Prominent early Bitcoin figures, such as Adam Back and analyst Tuur Demeesteer, have also weighed in, suggesting that Bitcoin could potentially skyrocket to as high as $600,000. Demeesteer, in particular, believes that once Bitcoin hits $100,000, the market will likely experience the same skepticism and disbelief seen when Bitcoin reached $3,000 in 2017. Both Back and Demeesteer agree that if history repeats itself, Bitcoin’s ascent could continue well beyond expectations.
