Tom Lee Predicts Bitcoin Will Top $100,000 This Year

As a seasoned researcher who has witnessed the rise and fall of various financial markets over the years, I find Tom Lee’s latest prediction intriguing but not entirely surprising. While I admit to being skeptical about such lofty price targets, I must acknowledge that Bitcoin has shown an uncanny ability to defy expectations.


In a recent interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” analyst Tom Lee from Fundstrat has forecasted that the value of Bitcoin (BTC) might skyrocket beyond the $100,000 mark by the end of this year.

Lee is convinced that six figures are still “possible” for the largest cryptocurrency this year. 

A well-known optimist investor has highlighted the decreasing regulatory burden as a significant factor fueling market optimism.

According to a report from U.Today, Lee has frequently forecasted that the price might reach up to $150,000 in 2021.

Lee points out that Bitcoin might serve as a possible reserve asset for treasuries. If the primary digital currency experiences an increase in value, it could theoretically balance out a budget shortfall, suggests the influential expert.

According to U.Today, Senator Cynthia Lummis put forward a bill aiming to create a Bitcoin reserve within the treasury, holding approximately 5% of the entire Bitcoin supply. This idea, backed by Bitcoin advocates like Michael Saylor, may encounter numerous legislative hurdles in its journey.

The Fundstrat analyst also sees a lot of upside for small-cap stocks. 

“I do think that there is still a lot of upside,” he said when referring to small-cap stocks. 

Lee has pointed out that risky investments are profiting from the accommodative Federal Reserve stance. According to U.Today, the Fed recently reduced interest rates by a quarter percentage point. Lee approves of this action. “I concur with the Fed’s standpoint that we should move towards a neutral position, which is around 3%. Therefore, I think it’s beneficial for the markets,” he stated.
