Fundstrat’s Tom Lee says those who buy Bitcoin around $90,000 now won’t “lose money” over the long term.
Despite a warning from analysts that Bitcoin could fall under $70,000, the asset’s current $90,000 price tag remains a “good entry point” for long-term investors, according to Fundstrat Capital’s chief investment officer.
“I don’t think anyone is going to lose money buying here at $90,000. If they’re trying to time this, maybe they get lucky, and it goes to $70,000,” Tom Lee said in a Jan. 13 interview with CNBC, adding Bitcoin (BTC) will be “one of the best-performing assets of the year.”
At the time of the interview, Bitcoin was trading at $91,662. Lee said that while Bitcoin may be down 15% from its all-time high, this is a “pretty normal correction” for a “hyper-volatile asset.”
Lee said his firm sees one scenario where Bitcoin falls back to the $70,000 zone before rallying, though another scenario could see Bitcoin fall as low as the $50,000 range.

With BTC breaking past $100,000 yet again, multiple analysts presented new all-time high targets for the largest crypto asset in the coming days.
Sustained buying by institutional investors pushed Bitcoin above $100,000, opening the doors for a retest of the all-time high.
Bitcoin (BTC) has risen above $100,000 for the first time in 2025. Continued buying by the biggest corporate Bitcoin holder may have boosted sentiment. MicroStrategy revealed on Jan. 6 that it bought 1,070 Bitcoin on Dec. 30–31, 2024, for $101 million at an average price of $94,004. The latest purchase increased the firm’s holding to 447,470 Bitcoin.
Metalplanet CEO Simon Gerovich said in a post on X that the firm plans to increase its Bitcoin holdings from 1,762 to 10,000 in 2025.
Buying was also seen in cryptocurrency investment products in the first three days of the year. CoinShares report shows $585 million in inflows in 2025, extending the massive $44 billion inflows in 2024.
Bitcoin needs to find support in the $90,000 to $85,000 range in order for altcoins to recover and find new buyers.
Bitcoin (BTC) has started the last week of the year on a soft note, indicating that the bulls are not hurrying to buy the dip. Analysts are divided about Bitcoin’s short-term price action. Some expect a strong rally leading into United States President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, while others anticipate the volatility to increase. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes voiced a contrarian view in his blog post on Dec. 17, where he said the markets are likely to witness a “harrowing dump” around Trump’s inauguration day.
While short-term traders may be waiting for the uncertainty to clear before buying, MicroStrategy has continued its Bitcoin buying spree for the eighth successive week. The business intelligence firm announced the purchase of 2,138 Bitcoin between Dec. 23 and Dec. 29 at an average price of roughly $97,837.
