Billionaires’ Bitcoin Buying Spree: Catalyst for $100,000 BTC Post Halving?

• Led by Michael Saylor, billionaires are scooping up Bitcoin, with some bringing their trillion-dollar organizations into the crypto world as BTC continues to outperform stocks and bonds.
• While the entry of big money could boost Bitcoin to unprecedented heights in the short term, it could also be a landmine whose explosion could floor BTC.

It’s hard to imagine a world in which Bitcoin is seen as a fad that will collapse in a few months and that professional investors and high-net-worth individuals avoid like the plague. However, that was the case for BTC less than a decade ago. Today, it’s one of the assets billionaires are rushing to invest in amid concerns that they could present a new risk for the crypto.

Some billionaires, to their credit, have backed crypto for years. Think of Michael Saylor and Elon Musk, two of the most vocal crypto supporters. The former was the first to bring crypto to a publicly traded non-crypto native company when he started spending hundreds of millions to purchase the crypto for Microstrategy.

He has been vindicated over the years as BTC hits new heights and the stock price of the software company soars. As Crypto News Flash reported, Microstrategy could introduce Bitcoin to the S&P 500, sparking new levels of adoption on Wall Street.

Then there’s Musk, and while he is now most linked to Dogecoin and some of its off-shoots, he was a Bitcoin OG.

But besides the original crypto-friendly billionaires, several others are jumping aboard the Bitcoin bandwagon.

Billionaires Buy Bitcoin—What Next?

One of the speculations that has gained the most traction is that Qatar is investing in Bitcoin. As the video below details, crypto sleuths have drawn parallels between the private jet of the Emir of Qatar landing in Portugal during a Bitcoin conference and BTC hitting new highs.

This, combined with the emergence of a new wallet holding 50,000 BTC (worth over $3 billion), has sparked rumors that Qatar’s $500 billion sovereign wealth fund is investing in Bitcoin.

But the Emir of Qatar isn’t the only billionaire who could be pouring billions into Bitcoin. Others like Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, have been reportedly looking into diving in. Speculation that Bezos held a meeting with Saylor only fueled this rumor.

Billionaires getting into Bitcoin would be a gamechanger for the top crypto. To date, BTC’s price rallies have been led by retail interest. With billionaires leading a rally, the investment inflow would be hundreds of billions of dollars, pushing the top crypto to six figures and beyond.

However, most billionaires are not core believers in the power of BTC and are only in it for the money. As such, they would not hesitate to dump their BTC bags if they detected better returns elsewhere. A dump by billionaire investors could be detrimental to BTC and push it to unprecedented lows.
