    Bitcoin is expected to rebound toward the year’s end due to increasing corporate and institutional interest, according to Strategy’s executive chairman, Michael Saylor.

    Saylor informed CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime on Tuesday that the corporate adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and the ongoing accumulation by major exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for institutional investors are absorbing the available supply.

    Saylor remarked that “companies leveraging Bitcoin are purchasing beyond the natural supply produced by miners,” which is creating “upward pressure on the price.”

    Miners produce about 900 Bitcoin each day, as reported by Bitbo. A recent study from financial services firm River noted that businesses are consuming 1,755 Bitcoin daily in 2025, while ETFs are acquiring an additional 1,430 daily on average.

    Buy pressure will elevate prices by year-end

    Bitcoin’s price has fluctuated between $111,369 and $113,301 over the past 24 hours, with its weekly range moving between $111,658 and $117,851, according to CoinGecko.

    Traders also faced nearly $2 billion in liquidations during one of the year’s largest market sell-offs on Monday, attributed to technical reasons rather than declining market fundamentals.

    Saylor added, “As we navigate through recent resistance and some macroeconomic headwinds, I believe Bitcoin will begin to rise significantly toward the year’s end.”

    Bitcoin purchases enhance public firms

    Saylor categorized Bitcoin-acquiring companies into two types: the first being operating companies that typically return capital via dividends or buybacks but opt for Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.

    Bitbo is currently tracking at least 145 companies incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets, including Strategy, which possesses 638,985 BTC.
