Industry Experts Say “Now Is the Time for Bitcoin,” Optimistic About Upside Amid Market Downturn

▲ Bitcoin (BTC)

Bitcoin (BTC) is undergoing a price correction. However, globally renowned investment experts are calling the current period a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity, forecasting a long-term upward trend driven by the full-scale inflow of institutional capital.

In a video released on February 11 (local time), cryptocurrency YouTube channel Altcoin Daily highlighted Bitcoin’s confirmation of a bottom and the accumulation trend among institutional investors. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerMedia, described the current price level below $70,000 as an “unexpected opportunity,” stating that he continues to accumulate through dollar-cost averaging. Vaynerchuk emphasized that as distrust in governments and fiat currencies grows, the value of technologically driven assets like Bitcoin will shine even brighter.

Bill Miller IV, Chairman of Miller Value Partners, analyzed that Bitcoin’s mining cost serves as a strong price support level. He presented $60,000 as the average cash cost required to produce new Bitcoin, explaining that if prices fall below this level, less profitable miners exit the market, sharply reducing selling pressure. Notably, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty recently declined by 11%, marking the largest downward adjustment since 2021 and demonstrating the network’s flexible self-regulating capability.

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (MicroStrategy), stated that market leadership has shifted from miners to major financial institutions. Saylor pointed to banks such as JPMorgan and BNY Mellon beginning to generate credit using Bitcoin as collateral. “The impact of institutions utilizing Bitcoin as collateral will be more than 10 times greater than that of miners’ activities,” he said, predicting that Wall Street’s participation has become a key variable in price determination.

S&P Global has assessed that Bitcoin is emerging as a core collateral asset within the global financial system. The agency recently assigned a credit rating, for the first time, to a bond backed by Bitcoin collateral, signaling that digital assets have entered a new stage of integration with the real economy and traditional finance. This development serves as strong evidence that Bitcoin has moved beyond being merely a speculative asset and has established itself as a trusted financial instrument within the institutional framework.

Experts maintain an optimistic outlook that over the next four to eight years, Bitcoin could outperform the S&P 500 Index by two to three times. Currently undergoing a technical correction and supply-demand rebalancing process, Bitcoin is strengthening its fundamentals for a long-term bull market. As robust institutional demand and financial product integration accelerate, the revaluation of Bitcoin’s asset value is expected to gain further momentum.
