Bitcoin’s leading corporate and retail advocates — MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ author Robert Kiyosaki — both predicted that the world’s largest cryptocurrency could double in price by the end of 2025.
Their forecasts come as Bitcoin trades around $111,000–$115,000, down from its all-time high of $126,000 earlier this month.
Michael Saylor’s $150,000 Forecast
On paper, Bitcoin is still recovering from the $19 billion shock liquidation across the crypto market on October 10. But industry leaders are still optimistic about new all-time highs by Christmas.
Speaking on CNBC, MicroStrategy’s Executive Chairman Michael Saylor said Bitcoin’s growth cycle remains intact despite short-term corrections.
“I think Bitcoin’s going to continue to grind up. The volatility is coming off of it as the industry becomes more structured,” Saylor said.
He projected that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by the end of 2025, citing consensus among equity analysts following the company.
“Our expectation right now is about $150,000 by the end of this year,” he added. “I don’t know why it won’t grind up to a million dollars a coin over the next four to eight years. Of course, my long-term forecast is that it goes up about 30% a year for the next 20 years and we’re headed toward $20 million per Bitcoin.”
Saylor’s optimism coincides with MicroStrategy’s continued accumulation of Bitcoin. The company purchased 390 BTC in late October for about $43.4 million, raising its total holdings to 640,808 BTC.
However, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) fell nearly 13% this month, sliding from $332 to $289, mirroring Bitcoin’s retreat from recent highs.
The decline highlights how closely MSTR’s valuation tracks the cryptocurrency market sentiment.
Kiyosaki’s $200,000 Outlook
Meanwhile, Robert Kiyosaki shared a similar bullish outlook on X (formerly Twitter). He revealed holding “millions in Bitcoin” and predicted prices could reach $200,000 by year-end.
Kiyosaki used his portfolio example to emphasize emotional intelligence in investing. “Losers are more afraid of losing than getting rich,” he wrote, arguing that fear of short-term losses blinds investors to long-term gains.
His message resonated with Bitcoin’s retail audience, especially during a volatile month that tested investor patience.
Kiyosaki’s framing of emotional control reflects a recurring theme in crypto cycles — resilience during drawdowns often precedes major rallies.
Market Context
Bitcoin’s price currently hovers near $111,000, with trading volumes and futures funding rates sharply lower than in early October.
Institutional inflows remain steady, but thinner liquidity and concentrated liquidations have increased short-term risk.

Analysts see the pullback as a mid-cycle correction rather than a trend reversal. On-chain activity continues to rise, and exchange balances are falling — signs of investor accumulation.
Saylor’s structured thesis and Kiyosaki’s behavioral framing point to the same conviction: Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory remains upward.
Both foresee significant gains through 2025, despite macro uncertainty and volatile trading conditions.
