The Bitcoin bull market has captivated investors, with Bitcoin hitting an all-time high of over $96,000. Which is an impressive 57% rise over three months.
In a recent interview, David Dziekanski, CEO and CIO of Quantify Funds shared insights on this growth. And why Bitcoin is a key hedge against inflation. So, his insights cover inflation concerns, government policies, and the role of Bitcoin in diversified portfolios.
Inflation and Scarcity: The Bitcoin Bull Market
“This is aligned with the debasement trade,” Dziekanski noted. Investors are concerned about rising deficits and debt. “For the first time, people know what inflation feels like in the US.” With inflation top of mind, Dziekanski emphasized that many are turning to scarcity assets like Bitcoin and gold to protect their portfolios.
Dziekanski noted that Bitcoin is unique because of its limited annual supply increase. “Bitcoin posts halving mines at about 86 basis points yearly, less than 1% of new supply annually. Gold supply, on the other hand, increases by about 1.75% a year.”
Furthermore, these scarcity metrics contrast sharply with fiat currencies. “About **40% of all dollars in circulation were printed since Covid,” Dziekanski said. So, this alarming statistic is pushing investors to seek refuge in assets that hold their value against relentless money printing.
The Case for a Bitcoin-Gold ETF
To address inflation concerns, Quantify Funds launched a Bitcoin-Gold ETF. “The ticker is BTGD.” “With $1 of exposure, you get $1 in Bitcoin and $1 in gold,” Dziekanski said. So, this equal-weighted ETF offers a 50/50 allocation, using the strengths of both assets.
Additionally, Dziekanski highlighted the benefits: “We rebalance between Bitcoin and gold. This lets us harvest some of the volatility in these assets.” For example, during Bitcoin’s rally, gold dropped 5% from its highs, offering a rebalancing opportunity.
This ETF strategy provides a capital-efficient way to hedge against inflation while managing the risks of volatile assets. “We like to think of it as leverage for the long run,” Dziekanski added.
Predicting The Future: Will the Bitcoin Bull Market Continue?
When asked about Bitcoin’s future, Dziekanski remained cautious. Although some analysts predict prices as high as $150,000 by year-end. He refrained from making bold claims. “There’s a little bit of euphoria right now,” he said. Noting the high options trading volume for December at bullish strike prices.
However, Dziekanski acknowledged that Bitcoin’s long-term potential is rooted in its role as “digital gold.” So, he stated, “It doesn’t have to replace the dollar to be valuable. It just has to protect your portfolio.” At the time of writing Bitcoin price is pegged at over $99,000.
The Trump Factor
Dziekanski also touched on how political shifts could impact Bitcoin. “Under a Trump presidency, deficits could rise further, exacerbating inflation concerns.”
So, he noted discussions about states and governments potentially including Bitcoin on their balance sheets. “This could create an environment where Bitcoin-friendly policies drive further adoption.”
Conclusion
Bitcoin bull market reflects a shift in investor priorities. So, as inflation fears grow, assets like Bitcoin and gold will be essential tools for portfolio protection. David Dziekanski’s insights show the importance of scarcity and strategic diversification.
Especially with innovative options like the Bitcoin-Gold ETF. Dziekanski aptly summarized, “Bitcoin is about scarcity and protection.”
