Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s executive chairman and a former CEO who helped to found the company, has published a tweet as if to celebrate the new historic price mark reached by Bitcoin.
Unlike his other recent tweets, where Saylor published AI-generated images of himself, this time, he has posted an actual photo with other influential people, accompanying it with a slogal: “The future is Bright.” The “B” in the last word has vertical strokes as in a Bitcoin logo.
The influential people who are in the photo with Saylor are the politician Robert Kennedy Jr. and Jared Kushner. Together with them stands Kennedy’s wife actress Cheryl Hines.
Bitcoin sets new price record
Earlier today, the world’s leading cryptocurrency Bitcoin stunned the crypto market as it surged to a new all-time high above the $109,000 level. This tremendous price spike happened despite a massive liquidation as a whopping $1.2 billion worth of crypto assets were wiped off the market.
The previous all-time high, above $108,000, was reached on December 16.
The price surge happened as the market anticipated the inauguration of the newly-elected US pro-crypto president Donald Trump. During his campaign, he accepted donations in various cryptocurrencies, not only in Bitcoin and Ethereum but also in numerous altcoins, including meme tokens. He also promised to create a national Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as well as favor adequate cryptocurrency regulation in order to maintain the US leadership in the financial and tech markets around the world.

Overall, Mow expects that eventually Bitcoin will imminently reach $1 million per coin. Saylor shares his beliefs. What is more, he several times stated that in ten years from now BTC will be worth a staggering $12 million per unit as by then it will have taken away part of gold’s market share.
