“Invest and forget” is the best Bitcoin strategy?

-

Fred Thiel, the CEO of Bitcoin mining company MARA Holdings, has some advice for the investors: adopt an “invest and forget” strategy.

In an interview with FOX Business, he laid out why this could be a smart move for retail investors looking to gains.

The secret sauce

Right now, Bitcoin is hanging around the mid-$90,000s after a little dip from its ATH of $108,000.

While crypto analysts are glued to their screens watching every price shift, big-time BTC holders seem pretty chill about short-term ups and downs.

Thiel pointed out that historically, Bitcoin has only finished the year at a lower price three times in its 14-year existence, once during the COVID-19 pandemic, so he suggests that his kids, and anyone else willing to listen, should stash away a bit of Bitcoin each month and just forget about it.

“In two, three, four years, it grows, and that’s what people do.”

„Number go up” technology?

Thiel also highlighted that Bitcoin has consistently appreciated between 29% to 50% annually on average, but let’s keep it real, it’s still a high-risk asset.

If you’re someone who prefers playing it safe, and it’ pretty likely most investors are, you might want to wait until Bitcoin gets more mainstream acceptance or earns a big nod from major global economies.

One potential game-changer nod? Establishing a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve could legitimize BTC as an asset and possibly trigger a chain reaction that encourages other countries to follow suit, and Thiel believes this could be a key driver for pushing Bitcoin prices even higher in 2025.

Stacking sats

Thiel also pointed to increased institutional interest through Bitcoin ETFs and favorable regulations under the Trump administration as factors that could also boost BTC’s growth this year. Interestingly, many retail investors seem ready to up their Bitcoin game.

A poll by MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor revealed that over 75% of 65,164 respondents plan to end 2025 with more BTC than they started with.

As for corporations getting in on the action? The trend is definitely growing. While MARA Holdings already holds BTC on its balance sheet, rival crypto mining company Hut 8 recently boosted its stash to over 10,000 BTC.
