According to Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor, Bitcoin is expected to rebound towards the end of the year, driven by increasing corporate and institutional interest.
Saylor informed CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime on Tuesday that the rise in Bitcoin (BTC) adoption by corporations and the consistent purchases by large exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for institutional investors are depleting the available supply.
He noted, “Companies investing in Bitcoin are acquiring more than the natural supply generated by miners,” which is resulting in “upward pressure on the price.”
Miners typically produce about 900 Bitcoin daily, as stated by Bitbo. A report released earlier this month by financial services firm River revealed that companies are consuming 1,755 Bitcoin each day in 2025, with ETFs acquiring an average of 1,430 additional Bitcoin per day.
Increasing buy pressure will elevate prices by year-end
Currently, Bitcoin is fluctuating between $111,369 and $113,301 within the last 24 hours, while its seven-day price range has been between $111,658 and $117,851, according to CoinGecko.
This past Monday, traders saw nearly $2 billion in liquidations during one of the largest market downturns of the year, which analysts attributed to technical issues rather than deteriorating market fundamentals.
“I believe that as we overcome recent resistance and navigate some macro challenges, Bitcoin will start to rise significantly again towards the year’s end,” Saylor added.
Bitcoin acquisitions bolster public companies
Saylor categorized Bitcoin-buying businesses into two groups, with the first being operating companies that would typically return capital through dividends and buybacks, opting instead to hold Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
Bitbo is currently tracking at least 145 companies that have integrated Bitcoin into their balance sheets, including Strategy, which possesses 638,985 BTC.
“This enhances their capital structure, strengthening those companies. There are many examples of this,” Saylor remarked.

“True” treasury firms leveraging Bitcoin
Saylor identified the second category of Bitcoin-acquiring companies as “true treasury companies” that are “leveraging Bitcoin.”
“For 300 years, the world operated on gold-backed credit. The future will rely on digital gold-backed credit for the next 300 years. Treasury firms will hold digital assets and create digital credit instruments,” he stated.
“There is significant demand for equity and credit instruments within traditional capital markets, and Bitcoin is emerging as the most advantageous form of digital capital to support those instruments.”
