Michael Saylor, co-founder of MicroStrategy and one of Bitcoin’s most prominent advocates, has shared a bold forecast for the leading cryptocurrency. According to Saylor, the recent wave of positive regulatory changes in the United States and the government’s increasingly favorable stance toward digital assets could push Bitcoin to $150,000 by the end of 2025.
Saylor: “The Past 12 Months Have Been the Best in Crypto’s History”
Speaking to CNBC during the Money 20/20 conference in Las Vegas, Saylor described the past year as a transformative period for the crypto industry. “These last 12 months have probably been the best in the history of the industry,” he said, emphasizing that regulatory momentum in the U.S. is now aligning with the long-term growth of digital assets.
Saylor highlighted several key developments behind his optimism — including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) taking a more constructive approach toward tokenized securities, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s endorsement of stablecoins as tools to preserve the dollar’s global dominance, and the broader policy shift toward clarity and acceptance of blockchain technologies.
Market Uncertainty, but Long-Term Optimism Prevails
Saylor’s bullish outlook comes at a time when the crypto market has faced sharp volatility. A recent downturn was triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, sparking fears of renewed macroeconomic instability.
However, analysts believe the pullback is temporary. Experts at The Kobeissi Letter described October’s historic market crash as a short-term correction rather than a change in long-term market direction. They maintain that a comprehensive U.S.-China trade deal could serve as a catalyst for renewed investor confidence and a broader market rebound.
U.S.-China Talks and Fed Policy Could Be Key Catalysts
Tensions between Washington and Beijing appear to be easing, with both sides signaling a willingness to negotiate. President Trump recently confirmed he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping at the upcoming Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Seoul, South Korea — a move that has boosted market sentiment.
Treasury Secretary Bessent also announced that the two nations have reached a “substantial framework” for a trade agreement, a statement welcomed by investors and analysts alike. Meanwhile, investor Anthony Pompliano noted, “If the U.S.-China trade deal is confirmed and the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, markets could experience a major surge this week.”
Outlook: A Bullish Path Toward 2025
With regulatory clarity improving, trade tensions easing, and the Federal Reserve expected to support liquidity through rate adjustments, many market participants believe Bitcoin could enter a new growth phase. Saylor’s projection of $150,000 per BTC by the end of 2025 reflects growing confidence that the next major bull market could already be on the horizon.
