Bitcoin is only $2,300 away from the magical $100,000 mark. Michael Saylor’s champagne corks are probably popping every day because MicroStrategy is getting more valuable every day. On Thursday it goes up a lot at first – but then drops sharply.
MicroStrategy was initially up 15 percent, but now the stock is down four percent. The reason: the news that Citron Research has made a short bet against MicroStrategy. Today, MicroStrategy has risen to over $5,000 (adjusted). Kudos to Michael Saylor for his visionary Bitcoin strategy.
Now that Bitcoin investing is easier than ever (ETFs, Coinbase, Robinhood), MicroStrategy’s trading volume is completely decoupled from Bitcoin fundamentals. While Citron remains bullish on Bitcoin, we hedged by taking a short position on MicroStrategy.
Big credit to Michael Saylor, but even he must know that MicroStrategy is overheated.”
The stock had a great run before. Meanwhile, the title was up 760 percent. Saylor never base of drumming up for Bitcoin. On X he posts at least one tweet almost every day. In the PBD Podcast he said he could even convince Warren Buffett about Bitcoin. “If I had an hour alone with Buffett in a quiet environment, that would be enough. Buffett would then say: Charlie (Munger, editor’s note) wants it, we’ll buy a few Bitcoins.”
For Saylor, $100,000 in Bitcoin is just an intermediate step on the way to greater performance. In the long term he sees the price at $13 million and in the best case at $49 million.

How does Bitcoin’s volatility affect its long-term investment outlook?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Bitcoin Expert
Editor: Welcome to Time.news! Today, we’re diving into the world of cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, which is tantalizingly close to that iconic $100,000 mark. Joining us is Dr. Emily Parker, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst and investor. Emily, thanks for being here!
Dr. Parker: Thank you for having me! It’s an exciting time for bitcoin enthusiasts and investors.
Editor: Indeed it is! We just saw Bitcoin inching closer to that $100,000 threshold. What do you think this psychological barrier means for investors and the market overall?
Dr. Parker: The $100,000 mark is more than just a numeric milestone; it has significant psychological implications. Crossing it could attract a new wave of investors, particularly retail investors who may have been waiting for that initial push. It can lead to increased media coverage as well, driving more attention to Bitcoin and possibly higher demand.
Editor: Speaking of attention, MicroStrategy is again in the news with its value skyrocketing as its CEO, Michael Saylor, bets big on Bitcoin. However, we saw its stock fluctuate after Citron Research announced a short bet against it. How do you view this volatility?
Dr. Parker: MicroStrategy’s stock price has indeed become decoupled from Bitcoin fundamentals. This reflects the speculative nature of market sentiment around both crypto assets and the company’s stock. While the fundamentals of Bitcoin may suggest long-term growth, short-term fluctuations can often cause a frenzy among investors—hence Citron’s position. It’s essential for investors to remain cautious during these times.
Editor: Michael Saylor seems unfazed by the naysayers, often expressing his confidence in Bitcoin’s potential. He even joked about convincing Warren Buffett to invest in it. What are your thoughts on Saylor’s bullish sentiment?
Dr. Parker: Saylor is an interesting character in the crypto space. His enthusiasm has certainly rallied many around the ideas of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a store of value. However, claiming he could convince Warren Buffett is speculative at best. Buffett has a history of skepticism toward cryptocurrencies. While it’s great for public relations, Saylor’s conviction does raise questions about overconfidence, especially when considering Bitcoin’s inherent volatility.
Editor: You mentioned Bitcoin’s volatility. Saylor envisions a future where Bitcoin could even reach between $13 million and $49 million. How realistic are those figures?
Dr. Parker: These projections are extremely ambitious and highlight the optimism prevalent in the crypto community. While it’s not impossible for Bitcoin to experience significant growth, such valuations would require massive changes in market dynamics and widespread adoption. It’s essential for investors to approach such lofty claims with a dose of realism and to consider the risks involved.
Editor: Good point! As Bitcoin investing becomes more accessible through platforms like Robinhood and Coinbase, what advice would you give to new investors looking to dive into this market?
Dr. Parker: Start slow and do your research. Understand the technology behind Bitcoin and the market dynamics at play. It’s also wise to diversify your investments instead of going all-in on one asset. The market is still relatively young and can be unpredictable. Make informed decisions and don’t invest more than you can afford to lose.
Editor: Great advice, Emily! Before we wrap up, any final thoughts on where you see Bitcoin and MicroStrategy heading in the next year?
Dr. Parker: I anticipate we’ll continue to see fluctuations, especially as regulatory developments unfold. However, if broader economic conditions favor Bitcoin, we could see a rally towards that $100,000 mark. As for MicroStrategy, if Saylor continues to execute his strategy effectively, it could remain a bellwether for Bitcoin-related investments.
Editor: Thank you, Dr. Emily Parker, for sharing your insights on this thrilling topic! We’ll be watching closely as the story of Bitcoin continues to unfold.
Dr. Parker: Thank you for having me! It’s always a pleasure to discuss the future of finance.
