Bitcoin’s Rally Triggers Institutional and Retail Optimism
Bitcoin’s recent price action is in line with analysts’ predictions of a $120K breakout, as BTC smashed through resistance levels from the $112K range. This price surge has drawn renewed attention from major voices in the space, reinforcing investor confidence during a time of heightened market activity.

Bitcoin over $120k.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, also increased his Bitcoin exposure. Calling the current market the “Banana Zone,” Kiyosaki warned investors of emotional overreactions and volatility but made it clear he remains a buyer, citing Bitcoin’s scarcity as a core value driver.
Regulatory Outlook and $250K Price Predictions
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson remains optimistic, maintaining a bold prediction that Bitcoin will reach $250,000. His confidence is tied to upcoming U.S. legislative activity, particularly the GENIUS Stablecoin Act and the Digital Asset Market Structure bill. Both are slated for discussion during this week’s highly anticipated “Crypto Week” in the U.S. House of Representatives.

These legislative moves are seen as pivotal for institutional adoption and regulatory clarity, potentially fueling further upside for Bitcoin in the coming months.
Metaplanet’s aggressive Bitcoin accumulation highlights a growing trend among institutions positioning themselves for long-term gains in the digital asset space. With major voices like Kiyosaki and Hoskinson also expressing confidence, Bitcoin’s path beyond $120K seems increasingly supported by both sentiment and strategy.
