‘A Lot of Room to Go’: Bill Miller IV Sees Bitcoin Still Early in Its Ascent

With Bitcoin back above $100,000, crypto analyst Leo Hart has released a 
6-month roadmap on the flagship crypto’s journey to new all-time highs (ATHs). 
The analyst predicted BTC could rally to as high as $188,000 by the sixth 
month. The Roadmap For Bitcoin’s ‘Flight Plan’ To $188,000 In an X post, Leo 
Hart outlined Bitcoin&#8217;s “flight to the moon” plan for the next six months, 
during which he expects the flagship crypto to rally to $188,000. For stage 
one, which he dubbed the ‘Maximum Power Law Trend Departure,’ the analyst 
stated that the target is $108,000, and predicts that BTC will reach this 
price level in the next two weeks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $150,000: 
BTC Is Mirroring Bullish Fractal From 2020 He further explained that this 
Bitcoin price level is 36 days from the first quarter point in his 
mathematical calculation. The analyst also highlighted the green rectangle 
near the Power Law Trend in his accompanying chart, which shows the maximum 
deviation from the PLT. For the second stage, ‘Maximum Absolute Wave Height’ 
(MAWH), Leo Hart stated that Bitcoin&#8217;s target at this stage is $145,500, and 
the timeline is two months. This means that BTC can reach this target by July, 
which would mark a new ATH for the flagship crypto. The analyst noted that 
this price target is the peak, represented by the horizontal tangent to the 
upper boundary in the chart. The third stage is the Red Zone Entry Point 
(RZEP), and the target is $188,000. Bitcoin is expected to reach this price 
level in the next four months. However, the analyst didn’t explain why BTC can 
hit this price level. Meanwhile, he also mentioned a fourth stage called ‘Zero 
Gravity and Re-entry.’ He explained that beyond stage 3, market participants 
will enter a zero-gravity phase with unknown parameters, followed by the 
descent from orbit, hinting at a potential price crash. BTC’s Journey To A New 
ATH Has Begun Crypto analyst Rekt Capital indicated that Bitcoin’s journey to 
a new all-time high has begun. In an X post, he noted that BTC has rejected 
from the $104,500 level, which was part of his initial theory on how the 
flagship crypto could reach a new ATH. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Flashes 
Signal That Has Led To A Surge Every Time Following this rejection, the 
analyst predicts that the next step is for Bitcoin to hold the $97,000 to 
$99,000 range as support. Once that happens, he expects the flagship crypto to 
break out to new ATHs. His accompanying chart suggested that BTC could rally 
to $110,000 in the short term. Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto also confirmed 
that the $135,000 target is still in play for 2025. At the time of writing, 
the Bitcoin price is trading at around $103,400, up in the last 24 hours, 
according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from

Strategy, a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury company, is accumulating Bitcoin at a 
faster rate than total miner output, giving the supply-capped asset a -2.33% 
annual deflation rate, according to CryptoQuant CEO and market analyst Ki 
Young Ju.
&#8220;Their 555,000 BTC is illiquid with no plans to sell,&#8221; the analyst wrote in a 
May 10 X post. &#8220;Strategy&#8217;s holdings alone mean a -2.23% annual deflation rate 
&#8212; likely higher with other stable institutional holders,&#8221; Ju continued.
Michael Saylor, the co-founder of Strategy, is an outspoken Bitcoin advocate 
who evangelizes the scarce digital currency to potential investors and has 
inspired many other companies to adopt a Bitcoin treasury plan.

Additionally, Strategy acts as a bridge between Bitcoin and traditional 
financial (TradFi) markets by funneling funds from TradFi investors into 
Bitcoin through selling corporate debt and equity, which the company uses to 
finance more BTC purchases. According to Michael Saylor, over 13,000 
institutions hold Strategy stock directly in their portfolios.
Bitcoin investors continue to watch the company and its effect on Bitcoin 
market dynamics. Strategy leads the charge toward institutional adoption of 
Bitcoin, further restricting the supply of available coins and raising BTC 
prices, while dampening volatility.

## Strategy and corporate institutions change the Bitcoin market dynamic
Adam Livingston, author of &#8220;The Bitcoin Age and The Great Harvest.&#8221; recently 
said that Strategy is synthetically halving Bitcoin by outpacing miner supply 
through high demand.
According to the author, the current collective daily miner output is 
approximately 450 BTC, while Strategy accumulates an average of 2,087 BTC per 
day &#8212; over 4 times the daily miner production.

Other institutions including hedge funds, pension funds, asset managers, and 
tech companies continue buying BTC as a portfolio diversifier or a treasury 
asset to hedge against fiat currency inflation.
ETF inflows have also helped to stabilize Bitcoin&#8217;s price by injecting fresh 
capital from traditional financial markets, smoothing out the volatility of 
Bitcoin and making downturns less severe.
However, the most august institutional players &#8212; sovereign wealth funds &#8212; 
will not ramp up Bitcoin purchases until clear cryptocurrency regulations are 
established in the United States, according to SkyBridge founder Anthony 
Scaramucci.
Once a comprehensive regulatory framework emerges in the US, it will trigger 
large blocks of Bitcoin purchases by sovereign wealth funds, increasing 
Bitcoin&#8217;s price, Scaramucci added.
