Why $71B Bitcoin Giant Strategy Still Bets on BTC Hitting $150K in 2025

  Why $71B Bitcoin Giant Strategy Still Bets on BTC Hitting $150K in 2025 Despite Bitcoin’s pullback from its October high above $126,000, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor remains confident the cryptocurrency will reach $150,000 by year’s end. Speaking at the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas, Saylor cited lower volatility and a maturing market as key drivers. “Bitcoin is grinding upward,” he said, adding that increased derivatives and hedging tools are stabilizing prices. Currently trading around $111,000—up 54% year over year—BTC still has massive upside, according to Saylor, who envisions $1 million coins within eight years and $20 million over two decades. Strategy, holding over $71 billion in Bitcoin, continues to buy regardless of price, with Saylor calling the past year the strongest in crypto’s history. Shares of Strategy (MSTR) closed at $275.36, down 3.26% but up 11% over the past year.

How Many Cryptocurrencies Exist in 2025? A Snapshot

. How Many Cryptocurrencies Exist in 2025? A Snapshot As of 2025, the cryptocurrency landscape has expanded dramatically. CoinGecko reports there are approximately 17,151 active cryptocurrencies being tracked worldwide. However, “exist” doesn’t always mean “active.” Many coins have low or zero trading volume, lack developer support, or have been abandoned. Experts estimate that of the total cryptocurrencies created, only about 10,000‑11,000 are regularly traded or otherwise maintained. Why this rapid growth? Launching a new crypto token has become comparatively easy thanks to smart‑contract platforms such as Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, and others. Many developers build on existing blockchains instead of creating whole new ones, increasing token diversity. In summary, 2025 sees over 17,000 cryptocurrencies in existence, of which roughly 10,000–11,000 are active and meaningful. This dynamic ecosystem continues growing, but with many coins that don’t stay relevant for long.
