Bitcoin flirts with $100K amid de-dollarisation trends, corporate demand

Episode Summary

Bitwise Asset Management European head Bradley Duke talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the resurgence of Bitcoin to the $100,000 mark and the forces driving its momentum. Duke described the current environment as a "really bullish moment for Bitcoin", noting that the price has recovered steadily from recent lows of around $75,000. He attributed the surge to macroeconomic forces, particularly rising inflation expectations and growing scepticism toward the US dollar, describing the situation as part of a broader trend of “de-dollarisation”. He explained that aggressive US tariff policies are fuelling inflation expectations globally, pushing investors to consider alternative assets. Duke said, “We’ve seen that there’s a correlation to an increase in the price of Bitcoin if there’s a high expectation of inflation.” Duke also pointed to expanding corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a significant new development. He revealed that listed corporations had acquired over 101,000 bitcoins so far in 2025 — more than double the total new supply of Bitcoin this year. He noted that even US states have started to hold Bitcoin in their treasuries as part of strategic reserves, suggesting the shift from traditional assets to Bitcoin is accelerating.
