Bitcoin‘s value has doubled in 2023, a year marked by economic turbulence, indicating the start of a new bull cycle, according to Bernstein. The potential accelerators pushing bitcoin toward a $150,000 target by mid-2025 are the upcoming SEC-approved ETFs and the upcoming bitcoin “halving” event in April 2024.
They suggest that investors can respond to this trend through direct participation or high-beta methods. One such method is to support bitcoin mining companies, which could provide a significant return on investment given the predicted rise in the value of bitcoin.
The SEC’s potential approval of bitcoin-related ETFs could also serve as a catalyst for the cryptocurrency’s growth. ETFs would provide an accessible way for retail and institutional investors to tap into the burgeoning crypto market without having to buy and store the digital asset directly.
In addition, the anticipated “halving” event in April 2024 is expected to further boost the value of bitcoin. This event, which halves the reward for mining new blocks, effectively reduces the rate at which new bitcoins are created and has historically led to significant price increases.
Together, these factors point to a promising future for bitcoin in an otherwise turbulent economic landscape. As such, investors are encouraged to consider strategies that capitalize on these developments.
