Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings, expresses an optimistic outlook on the future of Bitcoin (BTC) 
$97,886. He predicts that Bitcoin will begin to rise again from early 2025 until the inauguration of President Donald Trump.
Bitcoin Price Predictions
Thiel anticipates that Bitcoin could see an increase of approximately 108% from current levels in the upcoming months. However, he noted that Bitcoin’s price might drop to levels observed in November 2024 before this surge occurs.
The Impact of Strategic Reserves
The CEO emphasized that the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve by the U.S. would positively affect the cryptocurrency market. He added that if other countries begin to declare similar reserves, the limited supply of Bitcoin would create significant upward pressure on prices.
Thiel pointed out that Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million, with a large portion already mined. Moreover, the trend of investors steering retirement funds and ETFs towards Bitcoin contributes to increased demand.
“I believe that most people looking at Bitcoin’s price expect a correction, after which it will continue to grow. This scenario is quite valid, given the current demand.” – Fred Thiel
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at around $96,200. Thiel predicts that the combination of Bitcoin’s limited supply and rising demand will have a long-term positive impact on its price.
“A strategic reserve announcement by the U.S. will provide significant momentum for Bitcoin. When other countries establish reserves, Bitcoin’s limited supply will drive prices higher.” – Fred Thiel
Thiel noted that Bitcoin ETFs are rapidly growing, surpassing the asset management volume of gold ETFs. This indicates an increased adoption of Bitcoin by institutional investors.
Recent developments in the Bitcoin market suggest that investor interest in cryptocurrencies continues to rise. Limited supply and increased demand may contribute to a long-term price increase. The establishment of strategic reserves could foster stability and trust in the market.
