JAN3 chief reacts to Solomon’s Bitcoin statement

The CNBC Squawk Box team interviewed David Solomon at the Olympics, discussing with him various issues to do with Goldman Sachs and its policies, including also the chances of the Fed Reserve cutting down the interest rates this year.

Among the things discussed by them was the world’s top cryptocurrency Bitcoin. The head of the banking giant admitted that even though he believes Bitcoin to be a speculative asset and does not see any real use case for it, he still thinks that it just may have store-of-value case for Bitcoin.

This was shared by the head of research at Bitwise Ryan Rasmussen. Samson Mow commented on that with a GIF meme from the popular film series The Game of Thrones – “Bend the knee,” adding from himself already: “I don’t make the rules.”

According to his earlier statements on the X platform, Mow believes that within the next year, Bitcoin is likely to reach a whopping $1 million price level. Therefore, he believes more and more entities are going to be acquiring Bitcoin and admitting its new status as a treasury asset.

Michael Saylor reacts to new Bitcoin acquisition pivot

Another vocal Bitcoin proponent and evangelist, Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy has commented on the recent announcement made on CNBC regarding Bitcoin.

During the recent Bitcoin 2024 conference, many companies announced that they intend to start buying Bitcoin, following the example of MicroStrategy, and putting it on their balance sheets as a strategic treasury asset.

Over the past two days, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, demonstrated a plunge of 5.8% as it plummeted from the recently recovered $70,000 level and fell to the $65,770 zone. It happened as the US government once again transferred a Bitcoin lump worth several billion US dollars confiscated from the Silk Road darknet marketplace. By now, BTC has printed a small recovery and is changing hands at $66,300.
