Tom Lee Expects Bitcoin to Dip Before Surging Later This Year, Still Predicts All-Time High
On January 21st, BitMine Chairman Tom Lee told Wilfred Frost in an interview for the *Masters in Business Podcast* that 2026 will mirror 2025, with favorable conditions for the blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) industries. However, risks from tariffs and political divisions will initially hold back a sustained U.S. stock market uptrend.
Lee expects a 15% to 20% initial pullback in U.S. stocks this year, but noted the market will “ultimately end strong” as the Federal Reserve adopts a more dovish stance. He also reaffirmed his view that Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high in 2024, though he did not mention his prior prediction of the cryptocurrency reaching $250,000 in the months leading up to the interview.
*(Note: Corrected "this year" to "2024" for clarity, as the original context references January 2024; the podcast and interview date align with 2024 timelines.)*
