Currently, the price of BTC hovers around $100,000. If it reaches $250,000 by 2025, what factors support this price?
As the saying goes, seeing $70,000 to $100,000 is not a skill. Seeing $70,000 to $250,000, if it really arrives, then it shows there is some real perspective.
Cathie Wood of ARK Invest said BTC will reach $1 million by 2030, and MicroStrategy's Saylor said it will reach $13 million in 20 years.
In 6 years, 20 years later, everyone doesn't care much. The most concern is still next year, and there are already predictions for the 2025 coin price.
Legendary financial analyst Tom Lee predicts that Bitcoin may reach $250,000 in 2025.
He mentioned in a discussion with Anthony Scaramucci that it is highly possible for Bitcoin to break $250,000 within the next 12 months, especially based on the current price cycle.
He pointed out that if the United States legalizes Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset and procures 1 million Bitcoins, it will significantly enhance Bitcoin's legitimacy and mainstream financial status.
At the same time, MicroStrategy's success story proves that Bitcoin, as part of the balance sheet, can create value for shareholders.
Tom Lee also stated on CNBC that this year Bitcoin price breaking $100,000 is imminent and will further challenge the $150,000 level.
Currently, Bitcoin's price is consolidating around $100,000. Legendary trader Peter Brandt urges investors not to panic due to short-term corrections, emphasizing long-term value.
Famous investor Raoul Pal proposed the concept of the 'banana zone,' indicating that this is a stage where Bitcoin is about to appreciate significantly, further reinforcing its attractiveness as a strategic investment.
I still agree with the above view. This round is quite different from the previous one; the last round was driven by retail investors, while this round is marked by a large institutional entry.
The latest situation regarding BTC holdings by American companies.
The listed company Genius Group Limited announced it has purchased 110 Bitcoins for $10 million, at an average price of $90,932 per coin. This purchase marks the company's official establishment of a Bitcoin reserve.
It is reported that this purchase follows the company's announcement of a 'Bitcoin-first' strategy on November 12, which commits to holding 90% or more of existing and future reserves in Bitcoin, with an initial target of $120 million in Bitcoin.
This purchase is the first in a series of ongoing purchases the company plans to achieve its goals.
It shows a strong determination; over 90,000 without hesitation shows confidence in the future currency price.
NASDAQ-listed medical company Cosmos Health has included BTC and ETH in its reserve assets, claiming this new policy aligns with its forward-looking approach to investing in new technologies, including its recent acquisition of an AI-driven drug repurposing platform, Cloudscreen.
Cosmos Health expects that increasing Bitcoin and Ethereum, as well as potential other cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related assets, will help diversify its balance sheet and provide significant upside potential as these assets are increasingly adopted globally.
In addition to holding Bitcoin and Ethereum as reserve assets, the company is also committed to meeting the needs of customers who wish to pay with cryptocurrencies.
NANO LABS announced that it will use Bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset.
Cryptocurrency mining chip design company NANO LABS announced it will use Bitcoin as its strategic reserve asset.
MicroStrategy, BlackRock, and Fidelity are even more recognized as holders, no need to mention.
Statistics show that more than 60 listed companies in the United States have adopted Bitcoin strategies, and thousands of private companies are also following suit.
Let's take a look at the situation in China.
The strategy of incorporating Bitcoin into reserve assets is trending globally. Recently, a company in Qingdao, Shandong, China, 'AISOAS' announced it will purchase $50 million worth of Bitcoin. After the news was released, its stock price surged.
At the same time, as the market recognition of Bitcoin continues to rise, several listed companies in China are already incorporating Bitcoin into their reserve assets.
According to incomplete statistics, at least 10 Chinese listed companies have disclosed plans to hold Bitcoin and digital currencies.
Specifically, companies include Yingyu Universe, Guofu Innovation, Blueport Interactive, Zhidu Co., Jianan Technology, Meitu, Boya Interactive, Coolpad Group, Wanglong, etc.
Among them, Boya Interactive's investment in digital currencies is particularly aggressive. The semi-annual report shows that the digital assets held by the company account for as much as 75% of its total assets, and even more than 90% of its liquid assets. The market value of the digital currency held by the company once exceeded the market value of the company's listing.
These are all listed companies that must be disclosed. Imagine how many unlisted companies actually hold Bitcoin but cannot publicly disclose it due to well-known reasons.
In fact, everyone knows this well.
Western countries' pension funds are also drooling over BTC.
Mark Palmer, a senior analyst at The Benchmark Company, stated in an interview with Yahoo Finance that institutional investors may follow suit in increasing their interest in BTC in the coming years. This rebound will be mainly driven by institutional investors, who will continue to increase their interest in Bitcoin in the coming years.
Mark Palmer drew comparisons to gold prices. In the early 21st century, when investors and pension funds began buying gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), gold prices began to rise.
This development has opened the door for gold to become a more mainstream investment. Since the beginning of the century, the price of gold has risen by 845%. He explained that.
"The reality is that many pension funds are under-invested. Bitcoin is a non-correlated asset with significant potential upside."
Therefore, adding a portion of Bitcoin to the investment portfolio is meaningful. If this situation continues, and we continue to see institutions finding ways to include Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in their portfolios, this will greatly increase the demand for Bitcoin, which is the way to drive up prices.
On December 10 of this month, Microsoft will hold a board meeting to decide whether to use 1% of the company's assets to purchase Bitcoin. If this plan is approved, it will be a significant boost to BTC prices and Microsoft stock.
BTC reaching $300,000, $500,000, $1,000,000, many people find it unbelievable, but I tell you a reality: there is a company's stock price that has reached $720,000. Don't you find it even more impossible?
The most expensive stock in my A-shares, Moutai, is only 1,600 RMB, equivalent to more than 200 dollars. However, this is the reality. It is Berkshire Hathaway; you can check if what I said is true.
A restricted US stock market can have such crazy prices. What about BTC? Don’t tell me about capital; just look at the extent and depth that Berkshire Hathaway stocks can reach compared to BTC, which is completely negligible.
Therefore, when those big bosses, whom we could never hope to reach, say that BTC may reach $1 million, $13 million in the future, we should not be the first to think of calling others fools.
We should think more about why there is such a big gap in cognition between us and these people. Is it because our perspective of BTC is too low, too small, and how to make up for it? How to keep up with these big shots is what we need to think about first.
Many times, without understanding, one cannot take action, which is how the class is solidified. The truly wealthy do not understand themselves, but they will find someone who understands, a professional, someone who has achieved great results, spend a little money, and use a small amount of money to exchange for the time cost of learning by exploring, copying the homework, and standing on the shoulders of predecessors, making themselves much faster than ordinary people and the poor.
The poor will not copy homework. The poor always dream of pies falling from the sky, thinking of thousands of paths at night and waking up during the day still walking their old path, always exploring on their own, not seeing the time cost, having no sense of cooperation, and no win-win mentality.
Institutions are just as smart; MicroStrategy's model has proven feasible, so they just copy it. Thus, we see more and more companies holding BTC or on their way to holding it because they see that holding BTC is a significant benefit for their company's stock price.
Now let's take a look at individuals, only talking about those in the village.
Who are the people in China holding a lot of Bitcoin?
1. cz: The founder and CEO of Binance, considered to be an individual with a large amount of Bitcoin, possibly owning more than 100,000 Bitcoins.
2. Li Xiaolai: An early participant in China's Bitcoin field, known as the first person in Chinese Bitcoin. His holdings may exceed 100,000 coins.
3. Wu Jihan: Co-founder of Bitmain, the world's largest Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturer, and also operates a large Bitcoin mining pool. His influence in the Bitcoin field is significant, and he must hold a large amount of Bitcoin.
4. Li Lin: The founder of Huobi, Huobi is a well-known cryptocurrency exchange in China. As an important figure in the industry, although he does not publicly disclose the specific amount of Bitcoin he holds, the number will definitely not be low.
5. Guo Hongcai: Became financially independent early on through BTC. Some netizens estimate he has over 100,000 coins, and his whole family has moved to the United States. I think he is the most transparent person. You see those big bosses above, still working day and night, but Guo Caichong is truly enjoying life.
If this is the case, then guess whether Liu Qiangdong, Jack Ma, Ma Huateng, Zhang Yiming, and others will hold them. Even you and I hold them. Do you think they are sillier than us, or have less money than us?
So, $250,000 is not the end, nor is it necessarily the peak in 2025. We all know that the institutions coming in this round are not here for short-term gains; they are all using it for company reserves.
I won't say more. No one can determine the exact time for what price in the short term, and just because it reaches a certain price does not mean you can earn from it.
Making money is destined for the 10% of people. You and I should think more about why I can make money in this market and become one of that 10%. Is it because you have a lot of capital, or rich experience, or sufficient patience and cognition, or some abilities that others do not have?
