Michael Saylor's statement as Bitcoin price jumps
In a recent tweet, Saylor published an AI-generated photo of a bee inside a beehive with a Bitcoin mascot inside it. “Join the Swarm,” the tweet invites, meaning the rapidly growing global community of BTC believers and holders.

Bitcoin surged above the $71,240 level yesterday and then again recovered it today after a small rebound, as market participants look forward to potential interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve as early as November. The Bitcoin price increase from Tuesday to today constituted 3.71%. The decline since then has been almost 0.9%, with Bitcoin changing hands at $70,680.
Aside from that, on Tuesday, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw massive inflows as they absorbed a whopping $887 million in BTC. BlackRock’s IBIT scooped up $274 million, while Ark Invest increased its BTC holdings by $139 million. This happened to be the second largest daily inflow since the Bitcoin ETF approval by the SEC in mid-January.

Bitcoin to surpass gold 3x, Max Keiser expects
In a recent tweet, major Bitcoin supporter Max Keiser shared a take on the future Bitcoin price surge. Citing a tweet by user “Bitcoin Archive,” Keiser said that he expects Bitcoin to surpass gold in terms of market capitalization value at least 2x, but maybe even 3x.
This prediction was based on a recent statement that VanEck chief executive Jan van Eck made during his talk with crypto trader and podcaster Scott Melker. Van Eck believes that Bitcoin's market cap will be worth at least half of gold’s market capitalization.
“At least” FACT: #Bitcoin market cap will double & triple the market cap of Gold. https://t.co/vGEGMBdDhK

Gold’s market cap currently comprises roughly $15.9 trillion, and Bitcoin’s market cap stands at $1.4 trillion, which is approximately 10x smaller at the moment.
