Bitcoin to Reach $740,000? Pantera Capital CEO Issues BTC Prediction

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have seen my fair share of predictions and trends come and go. However, when it comes to Dan Morehead’s prediction of Bitcoin reaching $740,000, I find myself intrigued rather than skeptical.


As per a recent report by Bloomberg, the founder and chief executive officer of Pantera Capital, Dan Morehead, foresees Bitcoin‘s value potentially soaring to as high as $740,000 in the future.

According to Morehead, his prediction for Bitcoin’s price reaching record heights is based on several significant factors. One such factor is the evolving regulatory environment, which he suggests is shifting from obstacles (headwinds) to advantages (tailwinds) for Bitcoin.

In 2013, when Pantera Capital Management launched its Bitcoin fund, some people considered our actions as unconventional, Morehead noted in an interview. However, there are still many skeptics today. This is what fuels my optimism, as the general sentiment remains negative. Far from being a bubble, it’s anything but over.

The initial Bitcoin investment fund from Pantera is known to be the pioneer that allows American investors to participate in cryptocurrency. In 2013 when the fund was launched, one Bitcoin was valued at around $74. As of Tuesday, it traded approximately $92,000 following a brief surge close to $100,000 at the end of last week. This year, Bitcoin has experienced an increase of roughly 120%.

In the past few weeks, Bitcoin experienced its longest string of losses following its unsuccessful attempt to reach $100,000, dropping to a low of $91,420 during today’s trading session. As a result, the overall cryptocurrency market has seen a decrease in its $1 trillion worth of gains since November 5th.

Over the past while, approximately $7 billion has been invested into U.S.-based Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). However, the demand has recently decreased, leading to a withdrawal of around $438 million from these ETFs on Monday.

Based on CoinMarketCap’s information, the top-ranked cryptocurrency has decreased by about 1.89%, currently valued at approximately $93,137.

This month, Bitcoin has been breaking its own records frequently, leading some long-term investors to cash out in larger quantities on the open market. However, this selling pressure has been countered by investments in Bitcoin ETFs and significant buys made by MicroStrategy, keeping the overall trend somewhat balanced.

On Monday, MicroStrategy made a historic $5.4 billion Bitcoin acquisition, which represents their third substantial purchase of cryptocurrency this month, acting as a notable crypto investment fund intermediary.
