Bitcoin’s Hashrate Strength Signals Potential for Massive Price Surge

In a recent analysis shared by Ki Young Ju, the Founder of CryptoQuant, the fundamentals of the Bitcoin network are highlighted as robust enough to potentially support a market capitalization three times its current size compared to the last cyclical peak. According to Ju’s interpretation of CryptoQuant’s data, this could see Bitcoin prices reaching as high as $265K.

The graph Ju referenced illustrates the Bitcoin price alongside the market cap to hashrate ratio, indicating a significant improvement in network strength since the last peak. The data, demonstrating a scenario where the price level remains constant while the hashrate has tripled, suggests strong underlying stability and improved efficiency in Bitcoin mining operations. 

This increase in hashrate at similar price levels points to a possibly undervalued market cap based on network fundamentals alone, setting a theoretical foundation for substantial price growth.

By the end of 2024, the total circulating supply of Bitcoin is projected to reach about 19,802,075 BTC, considering the daily addition of 450 BTC. To hit a price target of $265,000 per Bitcoin, the required market capitalization is approximately $5.248 trillion.
