Bitcoin recently surged to around $70,000, with PlanB, the creator of the stock-to-flow model, predicting the cryptocurrency could double its value in the next 3-5 months.
PlanB mentioned that Bitcoin miner revenue has stabilized since the Bitcoin Halving 2024 event, reducing the likelihood of miner capitulation and subsequent selling pressure. He expects Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by the end of 2024.
PlanB’s forecast is based on historical mining data and his stock-to-flow model, which evaluates the ratio between Bitcoin’s circulating supply and its annual issuance. Responding to a follower’s query about Bitcoin potentially topping at $140,000, PlanB disagreed, suggesting instead that Bitcoin could average $500,000 between 2024 and 2028.
