Michael Saylor: The reason Bitcoin has not reached $150,000
is "short-term speculators"
Michael Saylor, founder of "Strategy," stated in remarks made on May 9 that the main reason Bitcoin's price has not yet reached $150,000 is due to short-term investors selling their holdings at every rally. He explained that these individuals do not possess a long-term investment vision, which negatively impacts market performance.
Exit of speculators and entry of new investors Saylor pointed out that the market is currently experiencing a broad rotation, where parties without a genuine economic interest exit the market, while new investors begin to enter, most of whom are looking for long-term opportunities in digital assets.
He added that a significant portion of Bitcoin remains in the hands of entities such as governments, lawyers, and bankruptcy trustees, who do not treat it as a long-term investment asset. When the price rises, these parties prefer to sell for liquidity instead of holding the asset for the long term.
