Fundstrat co-founder and BitMine Immersion Technologies Inc. (NYSE:BMNR) executive chairman Tom Lee on Saturday responded to a controversy around seemingly mixed signals being sent by Fundstrat’s analysts on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

The discussion was initiated by a user on social media platform X, who shared screenshots suggesting conflicting views from Fundstrat’s leadership.

One screenshot attributed to Sean Farrell, Fundstrat’s head of digital asset strategy, indicated a base case where bitcoin might retrace to the $60,000–$65,000 range in early 2026.

Conversely, Lee’s comments suggested bitcoin could reach new all-time highs by early 2026. This apparent contradiction led to questions about Fundstrat’s guidance.

Another X user, who identified as a Fundstrat client, argued that the debate was misleading. The user explained that Fundstrat’s senior figures operate under different mandates, with Farrell focusing on risk management and Lee on macro liquidity cycles.

Lee acknowledged Cassian’s explanation by responding, “Well stated,” on X.
