SkyBridge Capital’s founder, Anthony Scaramucci, is purchasing Bitcoin during the recent downturn in the market. He discussed this strategy at the Consensus Hong Kong event, where he highlighted his continued interest in buying Bitcoin despite the volatile market. Scaramucci, who has been actively involved in cryptocurrency investments, also praised President Donald Trump as a “crypto president.”
Anthony Scaramucci shared that SkyBridge Capital has been purchasing Bitcoin as its price has fallen. “So 10 days ago, we were buying Bitcoin at 84,000, last week we’re buying Bitcoin at 63,000, and this week we’re buying Bitcoin in this market again,” he said during his conversation with Bullish CEO Tom Farley. The market dip offers a chance for long-term gains, according to Scaramucci, as he believes in the future of Bitcoin despite its volatility.
He further acknowledged the risks of buying Bitcoin during a downturn. Scaramucci compared the decision to “catching a falling knife,” implying that the strategy comes with significant challenges and risks. Bitcoin recently saw a steep drop, falling below $60,000 after peaking above $126,000 earlier this year. However, its price has since rebounded slightly to $69,000, and Scaramucci remains confident in his strategy of buying during market dips.
In his remarks, Scaramucci also expressed his opinion on President Donald Trump’s relationship with cryptocurrency. He referred to Trump as a “crypto president,” highlighting his favorable stance on digital assets compared to his predecessor. Scaramucci believes Trump’s policies were more aligned with the cryptocurrency industry, helping it grow during his time in office.
However, Scaramucci pointed out that Trump’s geopolitical actions, such as his controversial Greenland ambitions, stirred opposition from the Democratic Party. He explained that such actions could lead to resistance within the political landscape, making it harder for crypto-friendly legislation to pass. “If he does things like that, it irritates the opposition to such an extent that they think: ‘We don’t want him to win anything,’” Scaramucci stated.
Beyond Bitcoin, Scaramucci discussed other developments in the blockchain space, particularly the programmable blockchain Solana. He predicted that Solana would gain significant market share due to its performance capabilities and lower transaction costs. With the increasing demand for efficient and scalable blockchain networks, Solana’s appeal is growing among users and developers.
