Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor reignited bullish sentiment across the crypto space after BTC briefly surged past the $108,000 mark. The move came after his post on X featured an AI-generated image of himself in a Bitcoin-themed suit and tie, paired with the caption “Get in the car,” just as BTC rallied over 3% from $104,460.
The rise brought Bitcoin to just under $109,110, but a quick fall sent it to $106,230. Later, BTC rose again and exchanged hands at $106,688 at press time, demonstrating ongoing strength in the current market excitement.
Massive Bitcoin Purchase Adds Fuel to the Momentum
Within days of Saylor’s company, Strategy, announcing it bought 7,390 BTC for around $749 million, Bitcoin’s price rose. Thanks to this approach, the company’s total ownership of Bitcoin increased to 576,230.
Investors became even more excited about the company after reading Saylor’s post and making the latest buy. Many in the crypto field believed the message and the market moves occurred simultaneously, leading some to think the price could go higher.
However, the positive market sentiment was mixed after Strategy and several key executives at MSTR, including Saylor, were included in a lawsuit by investors. The complaint says the Topdogs leaders gave false information about their Bitcoin investment.
Even under pressure from authorities, Strategy’s actions still indicate it sees Bitcoin as a substantial investment in the future. Most analysts agree that such big purchases, made while the market is upbeat, usually suggest that the market will strengthen even further.
Kiyosaki’s Sky-High BTC Prediction Adds to Market Speculation
At the same time, financial expert Robert Kiyosaki joined those looking forward to a rise in real estate prices. In his latest comments, he believes Bitcoin may go as high as $500,000 or even $1 million. He claimed this growth projection was due to growing worries about the economy in the U.S.
Kiyosaki mentioned the Federal Reserve’s move to buy $50 billion in bonds after the Treasury auction on bonds failed. He advised that the market’s reaction might indicate that people are losing confidence in the American currency, which could lead to runaway inflation.
To this end, Kiyosaki expected gold to rise to as much as $25,000 per ounce, silver to $70, and Bitcoin to surpass previous records. His statements provided even more fuel to the bullish feelings driving BTC currently.
Conclusion
With institutional money driving it, Bitcoin’s moving toward \$108,000 has led analysts to scrutinize where it may head next. Since Michael Saylor and Robert Kiyosaki are confident in Bitcoin, its value still attracts interest among investors interested in an uptrend.
