Adam Back's Bold Plan: Buy All 21 Million Bitcoins if Market Crashes to $0.02
  • Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream and a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community, announced plans to place a limit order to buy all 21 million Bitcoins at $0.02 if a significant market crash occurs, a strategy he initially proposed back in 2020.

  • This order was aimed at outbidding venture capitalist Alistair Milne, who had set a similar order at $0.01, although Back later canceled his order to focus on acquiring Bitcoin through liquidity.

  • Back has emphasized that he has implemented measures to prevent Bitcoin from crashing to near-zero levels, highlighting his commitment to the cryptocurrency's stability.

  • Currently, Michael Saylor's company, Strategy, holds a substantial 582,000 BTC valued at over $61 billion, which significantly contributes to the scarcity of Bitcoin available for purchase.

  • Saylor predicts that large-cap companies will soon dominate Bitcoin ownership, which is likely to reduce the number of sellers in the market, a trend supported by the ongoing accumulation by various spot Bitcoin ETFs since January 2024.

  • Saylor maintains a bullish outlook on Bitcoin, suggesting that its price trajectory could either plummet to zero or soar to one million dollars, a perspective that has generated optimism within the crypto community.

  • Following a recent decline in Bitcoin's price from over $108,000 to around $103,000, the cryptocurrency has shown signs of recovery, trading above $105,000.

  • Despite the humorous nature of Back's plan to buy all Bitcoin, he noted that approximately 2 million BTC remains unlocked, while the majority of the mined 19 million BTC is held in cold storage or by Bitcoin treasury companies.

  • Back clarified that although his limit order was genuine at one point during 2020, he ultimately utilized the liquidity to acquire Bitcoin instead.
