Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, emphasized a critical factor that could significantly influence Bitcoin $94,206 prices. In a recent interview on the Mr. M Podcast, Hougan pointed out that if Bitcoin is adopted as a reserve asset by various countries, its price could soar dramatically.
Government Adoption of Bitcoin
Hougan stated that the pressing question is whether governments across the globe will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. He expressed that this possibility has not yet reflected in the market.
According to Hougan, the expected new Bitcoin production from mining will be insufficient to meet anticipated demand by 2025.
Supply and Demand Dynamics
“The Bitcoin Network is projected to produce around 160,000 to 170,000 Bitcoins in 2025. Last year, companies purchased 270,000 BTC ($94,269.69), and ETFs bought between 400,000 and 500,000 BTC,” said Hougan.
