Scaramucci states Bitcoin is ‘still in its early stages,’ forecasts long-term value of $200,000 following halving event.
SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci stated that Bitcoin remains “very young” regarding its adoption and forecasted considerable long-term growth despite its present volatility and recent price changes driven by global circumstances.
In an interview centered on the leading cryptocurrency’s path, Scaramucci pointed out that Bitcoin is still in the early stages of its adoption curve, comparing its current phase to the initial days of the internet around 1999.
Scaramucci also anticipated that Bitcoin will exceed the market capitalization of gold in the upcoming years as it evolves as an asset class and the regulatory environment becomes more favorable.
Adoption curve
He stressed that Bitcoin may not achieve stability as a dependable inflation hedge or store of value until it exceeds a billion users, indicating ongoing volatility in the near future.
“Bitcoin is on an adoption curve. If you go back to Web 1, Bitcoin is sort of at the 1999 point in the spectrum, so just imagine where we went from Web 1 to where we are today.”
Scaramucci’s comments arise at a time when Bitcoin has demonstrated resilience despite geopolitical tensions and market uncertainties, such as the recent conflict involving Iran and Israel.

He recognizes that such events could temporarily affect Bitcoin’s value, potentially resulting in a 10% to 15% decline in the short term. Nevertheless, he remains hopeful about its future, particularly with institutional interests like spot Bitcoin ETFs and possible engagement from wirehouses and the 401k market.
Bitcoin to $200k
Scaramucci projected that Bitcoin’s value could increase 3x to 4x in the months following the halving, based on its historical performance over the last 15 years. He remarked:
“Long term, with the halving coming this week, I think this thing trades to 170k, possibly to $200,000.”
Scaramucci also likened Bitcoin’s investment profile to that of early-stage Amazon, highlighting the significant volatility and substantial long-term gains it experienced. He suggested that Bitcoin could similarly benefit long-term investors who are prepared to withstand price fluctuations.
He added:
“In a rolling four-year period, no one has ever lost money in Bitcoin.”
Additionally, Scaramucci addressed the increasing impact of ETFs on Bitcoin ownership and price discovery. He dismissed worries about the centralization of Bitcoin ownership through ETFs, contending that the market remains predominantly decentralized and that ETFs act as an essential link to traditional investors.
