Jordi Visser: Resource Scarcity Changes Bitcoin's Role0

Amid the rise of artificial intelligence and a shortage of essential resources—from computing power to energy—Bitcoin’s perception as an asset in the global economy is evolving, stated Jordi Visser, president of the hedge fund Weiss Multi-Strategy Advisers.

He emphasized that with the rapid advancement of AI and the scarcity of raw materials, the global economy is entering a new phase where the factor of limitation plays a crucial role. In this context, he noted, Bitcoin is regaining prominence due to its fixed supply model.

“Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a scarcity tool in an environment marked by a lack of key resources. In this setting, companies linked to computing infrastructure and miners gain an advantage,” he explained.

Visser added that by the end of the year, Bitcoin’s role in investment portfolios could significantly increase.

“By year-end, we will reach a point where we will need to justify why 3% to 5% of a portfolio does not consist of Bitcoin,” the hedge fund leader stated.

He highlighted that in the digital age, not only technologies are changing, but also investor behavior and central bank approaches. The U.S. Federal Reserve has adapted its quantitative easing mechanisms, and in times of crises, regulators continue to support markets by increasing liquidity and lowering interest rates.

The businessman believes that the first cryptocurrency has likely completed its correction phase and has transitioned to a new upward trend starting from around $60,000, which may persist for an extended period.

Previously, Jordi Visser mentioned that the first cryptocurrency could serve as a liquid asset and an “exit point” for investors amid instability in global markets.
