Michael Saylor, executive chairman of Strategy Inc., predicted bitcoin could rise above $100,000 over the next year and said a new bull market was beginning, according to Fox Business. The source described bitcoin as trading near $81,800, compared with about $75,900 a month earlier.
Saylor linked that earlier price comparison to a Senate procedural vote in which lawmakers did not advance the Clarity Act. He argued that the bill’s failure benefited the cryptocurrency industry, saying bitcoin did not need the legislation. Saylor characterized the 630-page proposal as containing substantial restrictions that would have limited the sector.
In his account, the stalled bill was followed by federal agencies taking steps he viewed as more supportive of digital assets. He cited Treasury backing for stablecoins, Securities and Exchange Commission actions that he said opened a path for tokenized securities, and Commodity Futures Trading Commission steps involving prediction markets and derivatives. Saylor said those developments offered guidance that companies could use to grow without the restrictions included in the bill.
The source also reported concerns among skeptics that a future administration could reverse the newer rules. Saylor dismissed that possibility as a major threat, comparing the political outlook for crypto with the early growth of companies such as Uber and Airbnb. He argued that if digital assets benefit 100 million Americans by the next election cycle, elected officials would be reluctant to undo those gains.
Saylor further pointed to traditional banks’ interest in bitcoin custody and credit products as evidence of growing engagement with the asset. He criticized Wall Street’s focus on artificial-intelligence investments, describing some of those plays as risky and overpriced. He said autonomous AI systems could eventually trade continuously and portrayed bitcoin as a scarce asset that could serve as a safe haven.
The forecast and policy arguments in the report are Saylor’s views, not a guarantee of bitcoin’s future price or of the durability of agency policy. The source provides no independent market analysis or named response from supporters of the Clarity Act. Its account therefore establishes Saylor’s outlook and reasoning, but does not independently verify the likelihood of the price target or the broader claims about regulatory consequences.
