Bitcoin Permabull Michael Saylor Believes BTCs On Track To Hit $100K Before Year-End
Vigorous Bitcoin evangelist and MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor is more bullish than ever about the price of the premier cryptocurrency now that President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office in January.
Saylor plans to have a New Years Eve party when BTC reaches the long-awaited $100,000 mark, which he expects by the end of this year.
Crypto To Benefit From Trumps Election Victory
Speaking to CNBC on Thursday, MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor forecasted that Bitcoin would hit the coveted $100,000 at some point in December.
The red wave is probably the biggest thing thats happened in the past four years for Bitcoin, Saylor opined. But were also getting a lot of very constructive support from Wall Street. BlackRock has been a very, very strong voice articulating the Bitcoin value proposition.
The price of Bitcoin skyrocketed post-Donald Trumps election victory on Nov. 6. The win heralds a potentially softer approach from regulators toward the crypto industry.
Trump promised to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the planet and to fire current SEC chair Gary Gensler on day one of office. Soon, well see whether and how hell deliver on those promises.
Nevertheless, Saylor believes the President-elect is incredibly auspicious for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry as a whole.
I think this is incredibly bullish for digital assets. Its very good for the crypto industry. Were going to see a lot more pro-Bitcoin policies. Were going to see a digital assets framework. Were going to see an end to the war on crypto. Were going to see a lot of pro-business policies. I think that, clearly, the SEC will be a big part of it, he continued.
Would Be Surprised If Bitcoin Misses $100,000 By December
As of press time, one Bitcoin was worth $90,836 after hitting around $93,500 on Wednesday, as per data from CoinGecko.
Im planning the $100K party, Saylor opined. Im thinking its probably going to be New Years Eve at my house, so I would be surprised if we dont go through $100K in November or December.
Saylor ruled out the possibility of the benchmark crypto retracing to $60,000 or even as low as $30,000:
I dont think its going to $60,000, its not going to $30,000. I think it is going to go up from here.
The MicroStrategy founder believes Trump winning the presidency has very decidedly determined the future of crypto in the U.S., adding, I dont really see any threats on the near-term horizon.
