As the Bitcoin Halving draws nearer, there is so much optimism about what could happen to Bitcoin’s price in the aftermath of this event. This optimism is further heightened by a recent development showing how Bitcoin’s demand far outpaces its supply, which could see the flagship crypto token rise to as high as $237,000.
Bitcoin Demand Significantly Outpacing Its Demand
Crypto analyst Willy Woo mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the Bitcoin network receives an average of $607 million of new investor demand daily. On the other hand, this demand is said to be met by a supply of just $46 million daily in terms of Bitcoin mined. This development is more significant considering that the Halving is fast approaching.
This is when Bitcoin Miners’ rewards are cut in half, acting as a deflationary measure and reducing the rate at which more BTC comes into circulation. This also offers a bullish narrative, as the already insufficient supply will decline further after the Halving event. Once that happens, Bitcoin is expected to become more valuable, with more price increases imminent.
Industry expert Anthony Pompliano also highlighted this phenomenon when he noted how institutional investors were gobbling up BTC almost 13x faster than its production rate. He added that the flagship crypto token was bound to see a new all-time high (ATH) if this trend continues.
This institutional demand for BTC is mainly driven by the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, which were approved in January. Due to the impressive demand for these funds, fund issuers like BlackRock have continued to accumulate a significant portion of the BTC supply on a daily. Interestingly, these Bitcoin ETFs were reported to hold 3.3% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply earlier in the month.
Bitcoin’s Road To $237,000
In response to Willy Woo’s post, crypto analyst MacronautBTC made a “conservative” calculation of how Bitcoin’s price could rise to $237,000. Using a multiplier of 3x the Dollar currently flowing into the Bitcoin ecosystem, the analyst mentioned that Bitcoin could see an added market cap of 4.38 trillion.
He then added the 4.38 trillion to Bitcoin’s current market cap of 1 trillion, which sums up to a 5.38 trillion market cap. This potentially puts Bitcoin’s price at $273,000 (a year from now, going by MacronautBTC’s calculation.
The analyst also highlighted how this price level coincides with predictions made by notable Bitcoin…
