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.
