Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, shares his predictions on Bitcoin's trajectory following the upcoming U.S. presidential election in a recent interview on the Unchained YouTube channel.
He believes that Bitcoin is poised to enter a new bull market, regardless of the election outcome.
However, Novogratz notes that if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins, there may be a temporary dip in Bitcoin’s price, potentially falling to the high $50,000 to low $60,000 range before rebounding quickly. In contrast, he anticipates that a victory for Donald Trump could push Bitcoin past $73,000 rapidly.
Despite his optimistic outlook for Bitcoin, Novogratz expresses concern over the U.S. economic situation. He argues that the country may need to resort to debasing the dollar to manage its unprecedented debt levels, which he sees as a recipe for significant inflation.
He emphasizes that the likelihood of the U.S. effectively addressing its fiscal challenges is low. Novogratz suggests that the best-case scenario might involve capable leaders managing inflation at a controlled rate of 4% to 5% to gradually reduce the national debt.
He remains confident that, under these circumstances, Bitcoin’s value will continue to rise.
As Bitcoin pushed past $111,000 on May 22, breaking its previous all-time high, activity in the futures market erupted in response.
Fifteen years ago, a programmer unknowingly made history when he traded 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas—marking the first documented purchase using cryptocurrency.
Strategy, the rebranded identity of MicroStrategy, is preparing to raise up to $2.1 billion through the sale of preferred stock as part of its ongoing effort to grow its Bitcoin portfolio.
Bitcoin’s return to six-figure territory has reignited market optimism, but unlike the short-lived surge seen in January, the current rally appears to be built on firmer ground.
