Max Keiser Reaffirms Bullish Bitcoin Prediction Following Michael Saylor’s Forbes Cover Feature
Renowned financial journalist and Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser has once again reiterated his ultra-bullish outlook on Bitcoin’s price trajectory. His latest affirmation came in response to Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, being featured on the cover of Forbes magazine. Keiser took to social media to share the cover image, emphasizing his steadfast belief in Bitcoin’s future price appreciation.
Michael Saylor: The “Bitcoin Alchemist”
In the January 30 issue of Forbes, Michael Saylor is profiled under the headline “The Bitcoin Alchemist.” The article delves into how, under Saylor’s leadership, MicroStrategy embarked on its Bitcoin investment journey in August 2020. Initially, the company allocated spare cash from its balance sheet to purchase Bitcoin, a strategy that was relatively uncommon at the time.
However, as confidence in Bitcoin grew, MicroStrategy began leveraging debt financing to acquire even more BTC. By issuing senior convertible notes, the company raised capital from investors and reinvested the proceeds into Bitcoin. This move offered MicroStrategy shareholders indirect exposure to Bitcoin, functioning similarly to a spot Bitcoin ETF—even before the SEC officially approved such investment products in January last year.
MicroStrategy’s Aggressive Bitcoin Accumulation
Since November 2024, Bitcoin has been breaking new all-time highs, fueled by several key factors—most notably, Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election. This bullish momentum led MicroStrategy to accelerate its Bitcoin accumulation strategy, making purchases more frequently than before.
The company’s most recent acquisition involved a staggering $1.1 billion Bitcoin purchase, bringing its total holdings to 471,107 BTC, currently valued at approximately $50 billion. Meanwhile, Saylor’s personal fortune has surged dramatically, growing from $1.9 billion in 2024 to $9.4 billion as of January 2025.
In celebration of Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 milestone, Saylor reportedly hosted an extravagant party at his Florida residence, attended by prominent figures in the cryptocurrency space, financial experts, and journalists.
“$2,200,000 in Play” – Keiser’s Ultra-Bullish Forecast
Following the publication of Saylor’s Forbes cover story, Max Keiser took to Twitter, sharing the image along with a cryptic yet bullish remark: “$2,200,000 in play.” This statement reinforces his previously stated belief that Bitcoin’s price has much more room to grow.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $104,420, having dipped 2.46% after briefly surpassing the $106,000 level. Despite short-term fluctuations, Keiser remains firm in his long-term prediction, signaling confidence in Bitcoin’s trajectory towards unprecedented price levels.
