Mike Alfred’s Latest Bitcoin Price Prediction
On the podcast, Alfred said he expects Bitcoin’s next major move to carry Bitcoin into a range of $150,000 to $250,000.
“I think the next move in Bitcoin finally takes us to 150, 200, 250 whatever, and at that point people will actually start to get bullish,” Alfred said on the podcast.
He added that the rally would likely coincide with mounting excitement surrounding AI companies, particularly ahead of potential IPOs from firms such as Anthropic and OpenAI.

Alfred believes those pressures are beginning to ease and is ready to potentially unleash a powerful rebound.

“I don’t think anything could stop it,” Alfred said.
He argued that critics should focus on identifying credible reasons why the cryptocurrency would fail to reach that level rather than searching for a bullish thesis.
“I don’t think it really matters specifically when. I think that the key thing is that it’s almost certainly going to happen,” he added.
Pushes Back on Conflict and Regulation Concerns
Alfred also dismissed concerns that geopolitical tensions, including the Iran conflict, would have a lasting impact on Bitcoin prices.
He said markets have become increasingly desensitized to geopolitical headlines and suggested investors are paying less attention to developments than they were earlier in the year.
On regulation, Alfred also highlighted the Clarity Act as an important catalyst for the digital-asset sector.
However, he argued that Bitcoin was in its own lane, unaffected by these outside factors.
“Bitcoin is following its own trajectory over a long period of time… almost like independent of these other variables,” he said.
