As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in the cryptocurrency market, I have witnessed firsthand the volatile nature of Bitcoin and its capacity for surprising us all. The recent prediction by Mechanism Capital that Bitcoin could potentially reach mid-term price levels above $1 million is an intriguing development that I find myself paying close attention to.


According to Mechanism Capital, a cryptocurrency investment firm, Bitcoin has the possibility of surpassing $1 million in value within the intermediate term due to several highly bullish events unfolding in the digital currency’s market.

As a crypto investor, I’ve noticed the unexpected strength of Bitcoin in recent days, even amidst certain challenging market dynamics that surfaced earlier this month. The co-founder of one of the industry players, Andrew Kang, took to Twitter on Friday to share his perspective on why he believes this is the case.

How Fast Can Bitcoin Reach $1 Million?

Based on Kang’s perspective, Bitcoin’s worth could significantly increase if it gets widely adopted as a national treasure reserve asset.

Several influential figures in the crypto world have been spreading unverified reports that Donald Trump may announce the creation of a US national Bitcoin reserve upon his potential re-election, towards the end of this month. No formal pledges or commitments regarding this matter have been given.

Regardless of whether Kang’s implementation attempt proves fruitful or not, he maintains that Bitcoin holds an alluring upside potential for investors due to its asymmetrical nature.

“He pointed out that there are likely viable mid-term price possibilities for amounts over $500,000 and $1 million. Even with a 5% or 10% likelihood, Bitcoin currently appears to be significantly undervalued at these levels.”

If the US decides to adopt this approach, Kang believes other countries may be encouraged to do the same. He also mentioned whispers of a significant Asian corporation considering adopting a role similar to MicroStrategy and Coinbase in the western world – publicly traded companies that offer leveraged exposure to Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem respectively.

“The optimistic trends have emerged faster than anticipated, yet he expressed no gripes – this month is shaping up to be quite an exciting ride.”

Return Of The Bull Market?

Bitcoin reached a new peak of $67,000 in October, a level last seen in early June following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval of Ethereum-based spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for public trading. The regulatory advancements from earlier this week have insiders anticipating the debut of the first Ethereum ETFs by the upcoming week.

During late June and early July, Bitcoin’s price encountered resistance as the German government gradually offloaded approximately 50,000 BTC that they had confiscated from a movie piracy site back in January.

The sales of Bitcoin have come to a halt, but according to on-chain analysts at CryptoQuant, an increase in Bitcoin stablecoin liquidity is necessary before Bitcoin can enter its next bullish phase.

Some people think that political factors may be contributing to Bitcoin’s price surge this week, as wagers on the Polymarket platform grow more confident that President Joe Biden will not seek re-election in 2024.
