Bitcoin is poised for a resurgence by the year’s end, driven by increasing corporate and institutional interest, according to Strategy executive chairman Michael Saylor.
Saylor stated during CNBC’s Closing Bell Overtime on Tuesday that the growing adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) by corporations, paired with consistent accumulation by large exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for institutional investors, is exhausting the natural supply of Bitcoin.
He emphasized that “firms leveraging Bitcoin are purchasing even more than what miners are generating,” which is “exerting upward pressure on prices.”
Currently, miners produce around 900 Bitcoin each day, as noted by Bitbo. A recent report from River, a financial services firm, indicated that businesses are absorbing 1,755 Bitcoin daily in 2025, while ETFs are acquiring an additional average of 1,430 per day that same year.
Buy pressure will elevate price as year closes
Bitcoin’s value has fluctuated between $111,369 and $113,301 over the past 24 hours, with its seven-day range spanning $111,658 to $117,851, as per CoinGecko.
On Monday, traders experienced liquidations amounting to nearly $2 billion, one of the year’s significant market sell-offs, attributed by analysts to technical factors rather than a decline in market fundamentals.
“As we navigate through recent resistance levels and some macroeconomic challenges, I anticipate that Bitcoin’s value will begin to rise significantly again towards year-end,” Saylor remarked.
Bitcoin investments solidify public companies
Saylor categorized Bitcoin-acquiring firms into two types: the first being operational companies that would typically distribute capital through dividends and buybacks, opting instead to treat Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset.
Bitbo is documenting at least 145 companies that have incorporated Bitcoin into their financial statements, including Strategy, which currently possesses 638,985 BTC.
“This enhances their capital structure and strengthens those companies considerably. There are many such companies,” Saylor explained.

“True” treasury companies leveraging BTC
Saylor noted that the second category comprises “true treasury companies” that are “benefiting from Bitcoin.”
“For 300 years, the global economy operated on gold-backed credit. The next 300 years will rely on digital gold-backed credit. Treasury companies are holding digital assets and developing digital credit instruments,” he stated.
“Moreover, there’s a significant demand for equity and credit instruments in traditional capital markets, with Bitcoin emerging as the optimal form of digital capital to support these instruments.”
