Michael Saylor Drops Explosive Bitcoin Prediction as Crypto Market Recovers

The post Michael Saylor Drops Explosive Bitcoin Prediction as Crypto Market Recovers appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Bitcoin dropped hard. Then it bounced back and Michael Saylor was quick to make his point.

After BTC plunged 4.33% to hit $103,660 before rebounding 2.35%, the MicroStrategy founder took to X with a message that lit up the crypto crowd: “If it’s not going to zero, it’s going to a million.”

It’s not the first time Saylor has predicted Bitcoin at $1 million, but this time, the timing hit different. His comment came just as panic was setting in and it instantly reignited one of Bitcoin’s biggest questions: Are we still on the path to something massive?

Let’s dig into what Saylor has to say.

Crypto Community Reacts

Saylor’s post drew quick replies from longtime Bitcoin supporters. Author Adam Livingston replied with his own ultra-bullish take, saying he expects Bitcoin to reach $13 million by 2045.

Meanwhile, Blockstream CEO Adam Back reminded followers of a wild play he once set up: a limit order to buy all 21 million BTC at 2 cents each. That bet, placed in 2020 with investor Alistair Milne, was cancelled, but it resurfaced in the conversation as Bitcoin volatility returned.

MicroStrategy Keeps Buying Bitcoin

Saylor has never been one for just talk. His company is still buying. Now rebranded as Strategy, the firm added 1,045 BTC for $110.02 million in its latest purchase.

That brings Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 582,000 BTC, currently valued at $63.85 billion.
The company has also posted a solid return in 2025 so far, with its Bitcoin portfolio up 17.1% year-to-date.

8,000 Dormant BTC Moves, Eyes on Institutions

On-chain data added to the buzz. A market analyst from CryptoQuant flagged that 8,000 BTC, untouched for 3 to 5 years, were suddenly moved from Coinbase Custody.

That service is typically used by institutional investors, and the analyst believes the transfer could be tied to Strategy or spot Bitcoin ETFs. But for now, it looks like buying activity from these players may be on pause.

$415M in BTC Longs Wiped Out

The recent drop shook sentiment and it triggered heavy liquidations.

 $415 million worth of long positions were wiped, compared to just $28.69 million in shorts. That’s a 1,446% imbalance, pointing to how unprepared bullish traders were for the crash.

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East may have triggered the move, but the sharp recovery shows the market is still full of conviction, especially from names like Saylor.

Bottom line: The market may be shaky, but Saylor isn’t. He’s predicting a million-dollar Bitcoin and investing like it.
