Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Bullishness: A Chart to HODL By

It seems the world of cryptocurrency has found its very own prophet in the form of Michael Saylor, the erstwhile founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). In his latest missive on X, Saylor has once again taken to the digital pulpit, brandishing a chart that suggests buying signals will ascend to the heavens by July. 📈

One might recall that Saylor has previously ventured into the realm of prophecy, predicting that the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) is destined to outshine the myriad ETFs in BlackRock’s vast portfolio, becoming the most lucrative of them all. 🌟

Adding to the drama, it has come to light that BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF fund is now a more lucrative venture than its venerated S&P 500 fund, as revealed by Matthew Sigel, a man who has presumably renounced his CFA to become a digital evangelist. 🙏

On-chain analyst Ali Martinez, never one to miss a beat, has further stoked the fires of optimism by reporting that over $9.2 billion in profits have been realized from Bitcoin trades. 🎉

However, the broader market narrative is not quite as rosy. Despite the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite basking in record highs, Bitcoin has been somewhat of a laggard, posting a modest 15% gain in the first half of 2025. This tepid performance is a far cry from the meteoric rises that crypto enthusiasts have come to expect. 🚀

Will institutional investors support Bitcoin?

While the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have been on a tear, Bitcoin has struggled to keep pace. The 15% gain in the first half of 2025, though not negligible, is a far cry from the explosive growth that crypto investors typically salivate over. The lack of momentum may be attributed to a decline in retail participation, with recent price movements largely driven by major institutional players like Strategy. The company’s relentless accumulation of Bitcoin continues to be a driving force in the market. 🤑

Despite the current lull, some analysts remain bullish on the long-term prospects. Cathie Wood, the enigmatic CEO of Ark Invest, has suggested that U.S. economic policy, particularly deregulation and potential tax cuts, could breathe new life into business confidence and investment. 🇺🇸

“When interest rates come down and investment picks up, markets that are already pricing in optimism, like Bitcoin, can benefit from this rally,” Wood opined, with the air of a seasoned market sage. 🧙‍♂️
