Tom Lee Links BTC at $81K to AI Rally in 'Crypto Spring', Eyes $250K and 2027 Boom

Fundstrat's Tom Lee on May 7 declared a 'crypto spring' underway, tying Bitcoin's strength around $81,079—up 20% over the past month despite a 2% 24-hour pullback—to AI-driven equity gains, reiterating a $250,000 target and forecasting 2027's 'biggest rally ever.' This builds on his May 5 launch of the 'crypto spring' narrative, highlighting Ethereum's tokenization and AI edges, Bitmine's 5.18 million ETH (4.29% supply) and $13.1 billion holdings, plus >60% Polymarket odds for CLARITY Act passage. May 6 updates noted ETH near $2,400 (up 15% monthly, down 20% YTD) and Bitmine's 5% ETH ownership goal, signaling rising institutional optimism.
