Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, the largest Bitcoin treasury firm, anticipates that Bitcoin’s price may skyrocket to $150,000 by the end of 2025, backed by favorable regulatory developments in the U.S. over the past year.

“I believe these twelve months have potentially been the most remarkable in the industry’s history,” Saylor commented during an interview with CNBC at the Money 20/20 conference held in Las Vegas.

Saylor highlighted the SEC’s acceptance of tokenized securities and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s support for stablecoins as critical factors driving his optimism. He remarked:

“Our current expectation is that by the year’s end, we should see it approximately at $150,000, which aligns with the consensus among equity analysts monitoring our firm and the Bitcoin sector.”

This projection surfaces amidst a backdrop of subdued cryptocurrency prices, following a significant market downturn triggered by President Donald Trump’s announcement of 100% additional tariffs on Chinese imports, fueling anxieties about broader economic instability.

Optimism Among Investors and Analysts

The recent market collapse was linked to temporary technical factors, with analysts from The Kobeissi Letter expressing confidence that a U.S.-China trade agreement will soon be established.

In subsequent weeks, representatives from both nations softened their rhetoric, suggesting reduced trade tensions and a readiness to pursue negotiations.

Trump announced his intention to meet with China’s President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit set to occur in Seoul, South Korea, on Friday.

Bessent shared on Sunday that the U.S. and China have established a “substantial” trade deal framework, which analysts and investors welcomed with enthusiasm.

“If a U.S.-China trade deal is confirmed and the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates, asset prices could surge tremendously this week. Get ready!” noted investor and analyst Anthony Pompliano.
