Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has made a bold prediction on CNBC, forecasting Bitcoin (BTC) to reach $180,000. He acknowledged the cryptocurrency’s volatility but framed it as a transformative feature:
Volatility is like fire. Henry Ford put fire into a carriage, creating an entire industry. Bitcoin’s 24/7 trading and volatility are features, not bugs.
Saylor foresees Bitcoin surging to $180,000 before pulling back to $140,000, with these swings reflecting the asset’s dynamic nature and growing market acceptance.
