A prominent economist and trader Alex Krüger has revealed that Bitcoin is on the verge for a major rally. While Bitcoin is approaching the all-time high, Krüger’s viewpoint marks as key catalyst for the further growth in the cryptocurfrency’s price.
The economist underscores three catalysts for the break above. For one, everyone wants to keep an eye on July 9, when tariff clarity could drive prices higher. Another is the following in publicly listed companies going all in behind Bitcoin treasuries in the wake of MicroStrategy’s bold path. Lastly, Krüger says that short-term growth for Bitcoin is provided by Trump’s tax policies and Powell’s 2026 exit.
Corporate Treasuries Powering BTC Growth
More companies are now adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. This trend has outpaced ETF inflows for three straight quarters. Firms like Metaplanet and MicroStrategy continue to stack BTC weekly. According to a recent CNBC report, public companies acquired 131,000 coins in Q2, beating ETF growth of 111,000 BTC.
Additionally, corporate treasuries now hold about 855,000 BTC, while ETFs hold around 1.4 million. However, these companies aren’t just chasing trends. They see BTC as a long-term asset to boost shareholder value. Unlike ETFs, which respond to macro sentiment, treasury-focused firms accumulate regardless of market volatility.
Tariffs, Treasury Moves, and Trump’s Impact
Krüger points out that tariffs essentially function as a tax on consumers in the U.S. They put pressure on the dollar and hinder economic growth. But the markets have a way of adjusting, and once the initial chaos settles, Bitcoin tends to come out on top. Trump’s suggested tax reforms might give an extra push to crypto adoption. His previous tariff actions have already sparked some bullish trends in the BTC markets.
