Prominent economist and trader Alex Krüger has signaled an imminent surge in Bitcoin’s price as the cryptocurrency edges closer to its all-time high.

Krüger’s projection has attracted international interest as he emphasized in his analysis various macro and corporate factors that might serve as key determinants of growth.

BTC Holdings Rise Across Corporate Treasuries

As Krüger stated, the cryptocurrency’s next breakout may be catalyzed by three key forces. One of them is the tariff to be announced on July 9, which may drive prices up in case the market expectation starts matching the positive scenario.

The second is the continuation in publicly traded companies adding to their Bitcoin holdings, as prompted by the aggressive accumulation strategy of MicroStrategy. Finally, Krüger points to the proposed tax policy put forward by former President Donald Trump and the intended 2026 departure of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell as other sources of momentum.

Bitcoin Set for Breakout, Krüger Cites Catalysts

Recent statistics help support this thesis. CNBC estimates that, in the second quarter alone, publicly traded firms had bought 131,000 BTC, more than the 111,000 BTC being acquired by spot ETFs.

Entrepreneurial corporates and exchanges and trusts control an estimated 855,000 BTC or so combined, and ETFs control 1.4 million. Firms such as Metaplanet and MicroStrategy set the example, compounding to Bitcoin on a weekly basis as a hedging strategy, as well as a store of value over an extended time.

Bitcoin Becomes Core Treasury Asset Strategy

In contrast to ETFs, where rising or falling macroeconomic sentiment can cause massive buying or selling activity, corporate buyers are proving to be quite persistent, sticking to accumulation plans even as markets became turbulent.

Krüger stresses that this institutional confidence is indicative of a wider change in business thinking: treating Bitcoin less as a speculative asset and more as part of treasury solutions.

Also, Krüger observes that tariffs are an effective tax on Americans, devaluating the dollar, which stagnates economic activity. But he reckons that such upheavals usually present good fortunes to Bitcoin.

Even past policies and future proposals on tariffs followed by Trump can further catalyze this cryptocurrency growth as Trump is an advocate of low taxes in general, which fuels the current ascent of Bitcoin.

With much anticipation already mounting and leading up to certain key policy announcements, Krüger’s bullish attitude has brought new power to an already buzzing Bitcoin market.
