Saylor is not the only one who seems bullish on Bitcoin. Earlier, on January 22, 2024, Larry Fink, the CEO of the asset management giant BlackRock, stated in an interview that BTC could reach $500k, $600k, or even $700k in the future. Apart from these individuals from major firms, countries across the globe currently seem to be showing interest in Bitcoin reserves.
