COINOTAG News reported on September 8 that during a live interview on CNBC the anchor referenced Tom Lee‘s projection of $200,000 for Bitcoin by year-end and asked Strategy founder Michael Saylor for his assessment.

Saylor responded that “most analysts believe Bitcoin will surpass $150,000 by the end of the year,” presenting the number as a consensus view among commentators rather than a verified outcome.

Market participants emphasize that any near-term Bitcoin price movement will be guided by macroeconomic dynamics, institutional inflows and regulatory developments—key variables that underpin valuation models and investor positioning in the broader crypto market.
