Head of Marathon: The current price of Bitcoin already takes into account the effect of halving

The potential positive effect of the halving could already materialize in the price of Bitcoin. About this in an interview Bloomberg said Marathon Digital CEO Fred Thiel.

According to him, the current growth, driven by the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, could manifest itself in the market three to six months after the halving:

“So I think we're seeing that now. Of course, this growth has caused some increase in demand.”

According to Thiel, the halving itself will have a minor impact on the formation of the asset price. Subsequent changes, including a reduction in supply against the backdrop of growing demand, will have a greater effect, he added.

According to his forecasts, after the halving the company’s break-even point will be $46,000 per 1 BTC. Let us remind you that according to the CoinShares forecast, the average cost of mining one coin will be $37,856.

“However, we, as miners, are happy about the halving, given that this time the price did not fall, but rose immediately before it,” Thiel added.

This event is expected to take place on the Bitcoin network later in April 2024.

Earlier, Coinbase experts expressed a similar opinion regarding the impact of halving on Bitcoin pricing.
