JAKARTA - Michael Saylor, chairman and co-founder of MicroStrategy, has again shocked the crypto community with his optimistic statement about the future of Bitcoin (BTC). Through social media X, Saylor delivered a short but meaningful message, as the price of Bitcoin continued to approach the psychological figure of 60,000 US Dollars (Rp957 million).

In his post on Monday, Saylor wrote, "Unlock your future." #Bitcoin, with Bitcoin images as key. This message immediately received a positive response from the crypto community, which interprets the statement as a sign of a higher price movement. Although it does not provide further details about the movement of Bitcoin prices going forward, many crypto enthusiasts believe that Bitcoin is key to future generations of wealth.

According to U.Today's information, in the past week, Bitcoin showed impressive performance, up 9.75% to reach 58,118 US Dollars (Rp921 million). Despite a daily decline of 3.8%, Bitcoin's trading volume jumped to 86% to 31 billion US Dollars (Rp491 trillion). With investors remaining optimistic, Bitcoin's recovery towards 60,000 US Dollars (Rp957 million) is expected to occur faster than expected.

Bitcoin has previously passed the level of 60,000 (Rp957 million), reaching this figure again is not impossible. In addition, the flow of new funds reportedly entered the Bitcoin spot market, with BlackRock's IBTC product managed to collect 525.5 million US Dollars (Rp8.3 trillion) in one day. This increased momentum in the Bitcoin spot ecosystem could trigger further Bitcoin price increases.

Amid the various challenges faced, Saylor remains consistent in his belief that Bitcoin is a perfect store of value and future money. Recently, Saylor also praised Morgan Stanley's decision to enable the sale of Bitcoin in a structured manner.

MicroStrategy's bold move to acquire Bitcoin since four years ago, spearheaded by Saylor, appears to be starting to pay off. The company, whose shares fell in early 2000, has now outperformed 499 of 500 shares in the S&P 500 index.

In the long term, Saylor's optimism and MicroStrategy's strategic steps in accumulating Bitcoin seem to be a lucrative strategy. Bitcoin is not only a strong digital asset, but also a symbol of the confidence of investors who see it as the future of money and a store of value.
