Bitcoin just shattered its previous all-time high, briefly reaching $123,091.61 on Monday. This explosive move has reignited bold predictions across the crypto world, especially from Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3 and a well-known Bitcoin advocate.
Mow believes this is only the beginning. “The Bitcoin bull market hasn’t even started yet,” he said, signaling that the real rally may still be ahead. His recent comments also highlight a powerful milestone – Bitcoin has now outpaced inflation by 19%, proving itself as a strong hedge against long-term financial uncertainty.
Bitcoin vs Inflation: How BTC Holds Its Value Over Time
Samson Mow compared the current price action to Bitcoin’s peak of $68,789 in November 2021. Adjusted for a real inflation rate of 11%, based on everyday items like eggs, this would bring the inflation-adjusted high to around $100,000.
However, Mow argues that the true inflation rate is likely even higher, possibly between 15% and 20%. This makes Bitcoin’s recent climb to $116,778 even more impressive, showing a 4.8% annual gain above inflation.
Mow, who famously predicts Bitcoin will reach $1 million through what he calls “Omega candles” (massive price surges), sees this moment as an early sign of a much larger rally to come.
Strategy’s Massive Bitcoin Purchase
Michael Saylor’s firm, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), made headlines again with another huge Bitcoin buy. On Monday, the company added 4,225 BTC to its holdings, spending $472.5 million.
This brings Strategy’s total stash to 601,550 BTC, now worth over $70.2 billion. The purchase was funded through a $330.9 million sale of MSTR shares, along with the sale of Bitcoin-backed convertible stocks – STRK, STRF, and STRD.
Saylor reported a 20.2% return on Bitcoin year-to-date and continues to push the idea that Bitcoin is not just an investment but the future of money. He repeated his now-iconic line that Bitcoin is “going up forever.” JAN3 also commented on the transaction, pointing out how these strategic moves are helping drive broader market activity.
Price Correction Is a Positive Sign, Says Rochard
Not everyone sees the pullbacks as negative. Pierre Rochard, CEO of The Bitcoin Bond Company, shared his thoughts on the recent dip after Bitcoin briefly touched its new highs.
He described the correction as “healthy,” explaining that it reduces excessive leverage, resets funding rates and implied volatility, and helps move open interest into new strike prices and maturities. In his view, these shifts lay a stronger foundation for the next phase of the bull run.
Momentum Builds as Institutions Double Down
With Bitcoin now trading above its inflation-adjusted all-time high and institutional interest continuing to grow, the momentum is clearly building.
Voices like Mow and Saylor remain confident that Bitcoin’s best days are still ahead. Whether the price continues to rise in the short term or takes a breather, Bitcoin’s growing dominance, inflation resistance, and increasing adoption are signs of a deeper shift taking place in global finance.
