Bitcoin has just shattered the $100,000 mark, triggering fresh debate about its long-term trajectory. In this Kitco News interview, anchor Jeremy Szafron speaks with Jack Mallers—Founder and CEO of Strike, and an early Bitcoin Lightning Network pioneer—about the forces driving BTC’s meteoric rise and the game-changing developments on the horizon. From President-elect Trump’s crypto-friendly policies and a proposed U.S. Bitcoin reserve to Senator Cynthia Lummis’s plan for converting gold holdings into BTC, Mallers explains why institutional adoption, global monetary shifts, and emerging regulations could send Bitcoin to $250,000—or even $1 million—by 2025.
They also examine how ballooning U.S. debt, fading dollar confidence, and Powell’s gold comparison signal a tipping point in monetary history. Mallers reveals why Bitcoin may soon overtake gold, how sovereigns could quietly accumulate BTC, and what this means for everyday savers looking to escape inflation and secure their wealth.
