Bitcoin Could Hit $115K by August, Pantera’s Morehead Writes
“Bitcoin is now ahead of our April 2020 forecast schedule – to hit $115K this summer,” wrote Dan Morehead, CEO and co-chief investment officer at Pantera Capital, a blockchain hedge fund, in an emailed newsletter.
The Pantera prediction is based on the stock-to-flow model – an analytical framework that values an asset’s price based on its annual issuance schedule. The model measures the scarcity of bitcoin (BTC), which is governed by the underlying network programming coded into the blockchain’s design when it was launched 12 years ago.
Under that plan, the number of new bitcoin created with each new data block every 10 minutes or so gets cut in half roughly every four years. In theory, according to the stock-to-flow model, the bitcoin price should rise as the issuance rate declines.
Morehead’s predictions carry weight partly because of his prior Wall Street experience: Before founding Pantera in 2003, he served as head of macro trading for the hedge fund Tiger Management, and before that he worked as a trader at Deutsche Bank and Goldman Sachs.
