Billionaires Mike Novogratz and Anthony Scaramucci Claim Bitcoin Could Rally If It Surpasses $80,000

Leading figures in the cryptocurrency world, Michael Novogratz and Anthony Scaramucci, have offered optimistic messages about the future of Bitcoin amidst global economic uncertainties and geopolitical crises.

Novogratz argued that the current market rally was driven by individual American investors rather than institutional funds.

Galaxy Digital CEO Michael Novogratz, in an interview with Anthony Scaramucci, assessed the position of cryptocurrencies amidst the global energy crisis, AI-related job losses, and the divisions within the US economy. Novogratz made striking statements, particularly regarding Bitcoin’s price movements and Michael Saylor’s strategy.

Novogratz stated that the driving force behind the market in recent weeks has not been classic hedge funds, but individual investors. He noted that investors are opting for spot ETFs (particularly IBIT) or MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares, seen as a “Bitcoin proxy,” to access Bitcoin.

Sharing his short-term predictions for the Bitcoin price, the renowned CEO said, “I expect it to trade between $60,000 and $80,000 this year. We may see significant selling pressure at the $80,000 level, but once this threshold is crossed, the market will enter a real price discovery phase.”

Commenting on MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor’s aggressive Bitcoin buying strategy, Novogratz argued that Saylor single-handedly dominates the market. Stating that Saylor’s consistent conversion of cash obtained through stock sales into Bitcoin has created a cycle of trust, Novogratz said, “I’d bet Saylor won’t sell a single Bitcoin for the next three years.”

Novogratz stated that “deadly” scenarios for Bitcoin could only occur in very low-probability events (0.1 delta), such as Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet becoming active or quantum computers breaking the encryption. Believing that the assets in Satoshi’s wallet will never be spent, Novogratz said, “Those keys are already gone; this secret will never be recovered.”

Novogratz, pointing to the “K-shaped” recovery in the US economy, stated that the wealthy and the tech world are doing well, but the situation is getting tougher for ordinary citizens. He added that this economic divide and the erosion of the dollar’s global power are keeping interest in alternative assets like Bitcoin alive.
