Bitcoin ($BTC) is trading at $116,030, with a 24-hour volume of $47.5 billion and a market cap of $2.31 trillion. The world’s largest cryptocurrency continues to dominate headlines, but much of today’s institutional narrative can be traced back to one figure: Michael Saylor.
In August 2020, Saylor, then CEO of MicroStrategy (now simply Strategy), shifted from being a software executive to a global symbol of Bitcoin adoption. At the time, he allocated $250 million of the company’s cash reserves into Bitcoin, citing inflation risks and dollar weakness.
That single move reshaped corporate finance, marking the largest Bitcoin purchase by a public company and setting a precedent others have since followed.
MicroStrategy didn’t stop there. Within months, it added $175 million, $50 million, and another $650 million financed through convertible notes, quickly amassing a billion-dollar Bitcoin portfolio.
For Saylor, Bitcoin wasn’t a gamble but a hedge against monetary debasement. He called it “capital preservation,” famously comparing Bitcoin to “Manhattan in cyberspace”—rare, unbreakable and global.

The strategy is simple: keep buying Manhattan in cyberspace—because one day, 8 billion people will want their money there.”

Critics called it reckless, pointing to volatility and debt financing risks. But supporters said it was genius. Saylor himself acknowledged irony in the fact that he once dismissed Bitcoin in 2013, tweeting it would “go the way of online gambling.”
He later called that post “the most costly tweet in history” as MicroStrategy transformed into Bitcoin’s largest corporate holder.
Corporate Expansion and Market Influence
From 2020 onward, Saylor doubled down, using structured financing tools to scale holdings. By early 2021, the firm had borrowed more than $2 billion to add to its position. Through dollar-cost averaging, MicroStrategy continued to buy during downturns, reinforcing the view that Bitcoin was a generational store of value.
The impact was dramatic. Between 2020 and 2024, Strategy’s stock outpaced the S&P 500 and even Bitcoin itself at times. Investors no longer valued it primarily as a software firm but as a de facto Bitcoin proxy. By early 2025, the company held over 2% of Bitcoin’s fixed supply, nearly half a million coins worth more than $50 billion.
This aggressive accumulation intensified competition for Bitcoin’s limited supply. In the first five months of 2025 alone, corporate and institutional buyers spent over $25 billion on Bitcoin. MicroStrategy’s June 2025 purchase of 10,100 BTC, worth $1.05 billion, further cemented its role as the playbook for corporate treasury allocation.
But the strategy wasn’t without controversy. Funding these purchases through debt and equity raised questions about dilution and financial risk. Analysts debated whether MicroStrategy had built in resilience or fragility into its balance sheet.
What’s clear is Saylor forced Wall Street to think of Bitcoin as a mainstream treasury asset, not a fringe one.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Technical Outlook and Future Forecast
The Bitcoin price prediction remains bullish, as BTC’s technicals support the accumulation narrative. Currently at $116,000, BTC just broke out of the descending channel that had capped momentum since mid-August.
Above the 50-day EMA at $114,547, and we have bullish momentum; below the 200-day EMA at $93,704, and we have a strong long-term floor.
A bullish engulfing pattern near support confirmed renewed buying interest, followed by a breakout candle that closed above the resistance. RSI sits at 59, showing positive momentum without tipping into overbought territory. If Bitcoin sustains above the $116,000 pivot, immediate resistance sits at $119,500, with the next target at $122,200.
A rejection, however, could lead to a retest of $114,800 or even $110,150, provided the higher lows pattern remains intact as long as BTC stays above $112,000.
For traders, a tactical long entry above $116,000 with stops under $114,000 offers a favorable risk-reward setup, targeting $119,500 and $122,200. For longer-term investors, this may be the early stage of a broader rally, with projections toward $130,000 gaining credibility if accumulation trends persist.
Summing Up
On-chain data backs this outlook. Exchange reserves continue to decline as institutions withdraw coins into cold storage, while whale wallets exhibit consistent net inflows. Combined with Saylor-style corporate adoption, the supply squeeze narrative is hard to ignore.
Looking ahead, the question isn’t just whether Bitcoin will rally, but how far Saylor’s strategy will ripple across industries. If more companies add Bitcoin to their treasuries, the institutional floor could rise significantly, setting the stage for Bitcoin to move into six figures.
For now, Bitcoin is both a speculative asset and an experiment. But if Saylor is right, his playbook may not just be bold but revolutionary for global capital management.
