- Hayes anticipates a surge of $15 trillion in credit by 2028 due to Trump’s envisioned Federal Reserve changes.
- His analysis forecasts Bitcoin’s value exceeding $115,000.
Arthur Hayes, a prominent figure in the crypto world, is reaffirming his bullish stance on Bitcoin, identifying it as the premier investment opportunity as the United States strategizes to maintain its global influence.
In his latest analysis, the former head of BitMEX
contends
that proposed initiatives aimed at revitalizing American industry, particularly under a future administration, could trigger a significant influx of new credit, fueling inflationary pressures and propelling Bitcoin’s value considerably beyond its present level of $115,000.
“Be certain that a Trump-led team will utilize every available means to generate the financial resources necessary for this transformative endeavor in America,” Hayes stated.
Hayes’ optimistic outlook is built upon a straightforward premise.
He posits that the US is currently grappling with substantial economic and geopolitical challenges from an emerging Eurasian power bloc consisting of nations such as China, Russia, India, and Iran.
America’s primary strategy for maintaining its dominance on the global stage will involve a proactive approach to credit creation, a shift away from an economy centered on services, and a renewed focus on industrial production. Within this framework, traditional currencies like the US dollar may experience a decline in purchasing power, while Bitcoin, as a digitally scarce asset, is positioned to benefit significantly.
Hayes projects that the combined credit expansion from the Federal Reserve and commercial banks could surpass $15 trillion between now and 2028, echoing the magnitude of the stimulus measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, but this time allocated to manufacturing facilities, defense production, and other heavy industries.
Bitcoin’s recent surge past $124,000 to achieve a new record high can be attributed to continued inflows into spot exchange-traded funds, with over 200 corporations incorporating crypto into their financial holdings, coupled with a weakening US dollar.
While other leading cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana have also reached unprecedented levels in 2025, Hayes emphasizes Bitcoin’s unique position.
He cautions that while numerous crypto firms and alternative cryptocurrencies might encounter difficulties, Bitcoin’s status as a digital form of gold and a safeguard against currency devaluation is firmly established.
Hayes has consistently issued ambitious forecasts for Bitcoin’s future value. In March, he
predicted
a price of $250,000 by 2025.
Regarding his subsequent prediction?
“Do I think Bitcoin will rise to $3.4 million by 2028? No,” he stated.
“I anticipate that the actual figure will be significantly higher than its current trading price of around $115,000. My objective is to accurately gauge the general trend and ensure that I am backing the most promising investment.”
