6-Figure Treasury Asset Bitcoin Price Possible By Year-EndMarket Expert
The momentum is on Bitcoin and cryptos side, and it wouldnt be surprising if the price surge continues until the end of the year. One of the biggest drivers of the current performance of Bitcoin is the election of Republican Donald Trump.
Trumps rhetoric and friendly pronouncement on crypto helped propel the assets price past $76k, beating this years March record.
Now, many market analysts remain bullish days after the US elections. Thomas Lee, CNBC contributor and the CIO of Fundstrat Capital, even pushed a bolder claim, saying that Bitcoin could trade in six digits by years end. Lee states that the current market and political environment favor the top coin and expects more upside for digital assets.
Trumps Election Boosts Crypto Industry
This Friday, the Fundstrat Capital CIO shared his thoughts on Trumps elections and BTCs future at CNBCs Squawk Box. In the same discussion, Lee shared that Bitcoin and most altcoins will have a price rally in the short term.
Its going to be very difficult to fix the deficit with just changes in taxes and spending, says @fundstrats Tom Lee. He says bitcoin is potentially a Treasury reserve asset. If Bitcoin rises in price, it actually helps offset the liabilities, which is the deficit. pic.twitter.com/tVrnE37dhS

Lee shared that right before the elections, the global markets faced plenty of uncertainties. However, with Trump winning the US elections and his favorable proposed policies on Bitcoin, the crypto industry can expect better days.
Lee added that changes in regulations and pro-crypto policies could power the digital assets short run. He also credits Trump for his experience as a former president, which can help him better navigate future challenges. With
Trumps support and a favorable market environment, Lee reflects on his initial target of $150k for BTC, saying this is possible.
Bitcoin, Digital Assets Can Help Offset US Debt
One of Trumps campaign promises is to cut the countrys growing budget deficit, which now stands at more than $35 trillion. Lee explained that its difficult for Trump to cut taxes and spending to address the deficit.
Instead, Lee sees Bitcoin as the key to solving the countrys growing budget deficit. He sees the potential in BTC as a future Treasury asset, noting its increasing market value over the years.
Interestingly, Trump has also explored the idea, saying that as president, he can arrange the countrys budget woes by handing a Bitcoin check.
Bitcoin Act Gaining Momentum After The US Elections
Before Lees comments, there had been discussions on Bitcoins growing role in the countrys financial system. Senator Cynthia Lummis filed a bill, the Bitcoin Act, to legitimize the crypto asset as an economic asset.
According to Senator Lummis, Trumps win will favor the push to make Bitcoin an asset to help combat economic uncertainties. One of the bills recommendations was to hold up to 1 million BTC over five years as a hedge against inflation.
