U.Today - Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy’s executive chairman and former CEO who helped to found the company, has published a tweet as if to celebrate the new historic price mark reached by Bitcoin.

The influential people who are in the photo with Saylor are the politician Robert Kennedy Jr. and Jared Kushner. Together with them stands Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines.
Bitcoin sets new price record
Earlier today, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, stunned the crypto market as it surged to a new all-time high above the $109,000 level. This tremendous price spike happened despite a massive liquidation as a whopping $1.2 billion worth of crypto assets were wiped off the market.The previous all-time high, above $108,000, was reached on Dec. 16.
The price surge happened as the market anticipated the inauguration of newly elected U.S. pro-crypto President Donald Trump. During his campaign, he accepted donations in various cryptocurrencies, not only in Bitcoin and Ethereum but also in numerous altcoins, including meme tokens. He also promised to create a national Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, as well as favor adequate cryptocurrency regulation in order to maintain U.S. leadership in financial and tech markets around the world.
Bitcoin to $1 million — Samson Mow, Michael Saylor

Saylor shares his beliefs. What is more, he stated several times that 10 years from now, BTC will be worth a staggering $12 million per unit as, by then, it will have taken away part of gold’s market share.
