Can Bitcoin Hit a New ATH with Microstrategy’s Achievement?

Michael Saylor is an active Bitcoin supporter and has sworn to buy Bitcoin despite the price. More importantly, he believes in this token’s potential, firstly about hitting the $100k mark and later reaching millions over the next few years. With such belief, Microstrategy has 234,650 BTC, worth $43 billion. With that, they have built their strong portfolio but are also building investor confidence, eventually favoring the token’s price growth.

At the time of reporting, Bitcoin is at $101.5k after moving 2% from the ATH of $103.9k. Although the difference is minor, the token is struggling to accomplish the same target again for days. However, the eyes are now on Michael Saylor’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 to affect the Bitcoin price positively. Interestingly, the BTC price has had a minor recovery on the charts past this news, reaching $102.5k earlier in the day. Interestingly, this was the biggest recovery since earlier ATH. Additionally, the buying pressure is strongly persistent on the token.

With this buying pressure, high adoption, talks of Bitcoin reserve in multiple parts of the world, Donald Trump’s inauguration, and many other factors, including this firm’s new achievement, the Bitcoin is to end the year on a positive note. More importantly, the Bitcoin price might hit $108.9K, before the year ends and higher in 2025.

The X post conveyed a summary titled “Theory of MicroStrategy,” but CZ summarised it into just words, joking about the Bitcoin-obsessed company. CZ commented, ‘Buy bitcoins and hold’ referencing Microstrategy’s strategies and kidding that they are all about buying this token. More importantly, he said his summary is shorter than the intro line.
