Strategy founder Michael Saylor says Bitcoin hasn’t reached $150,000 yet because holders with no long-term outlook have been promoting off whereas a brand new cohort of buyers are starting to enter the market.

The lack of “10-year investor mindset” led to Bitcoin sell-off
Saylor mentioned “numerous non-economically events are rotating out of the asset.” However, on the similar time, “a brand new cohort of buyers are getting into.”
“A number of Bitcoin, for no matter cause, was left within the arms of the governments and the arms of legal professionals, and within the arms of chapter trustees,” he added.
Saylor mentioned that many of those trustees would not have a “10-year buyers mindset,” and as Bitcoin’s (BTC) worth started to rally, they took benefit and “thought it is a good exit level to get liquidity.”
“So I believe individuals much less dedicated to the long run have taken the chance to exit the market and an entire new class of buyers are getting into by the use of ETFs and by the use of Bitcoin treasury corporations.”
