Overview
- CZ told CNBC at Davos on January 23 that regulatory momentum, led by the United States, could break Bitcoin’s historic four‑year cycle in 2026.
- He declined to offer short‑term price targets, saying he holds Bitcoin and Binance’s BNB for the long term and does not trade actively.
- He rejected claims of any personal relationship with President Trump or coordination related to his October pardon, saying he has never spoken with him.
- He said Abu Dhabi firm MGX’s roughly $2 billion investment was paid in the USD1 stablecoin by the investor’s choice, adding he prefers crypto payments over banks.
- Bitcoin was cited as trading near the $90,000 area with choppy action, and CZ framed his view on a five‑ to ten‑year horizon rather than near‑term moves.
