In a recent Coin Stories podcast episode with Natalie Brunell, crypto analyst and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes revealed his current Bitcoin (BTC) investment strategy. He stated he is holding off on further BTC investments until there are clearer signs that the Federal Reserve will increase its money printing activities.
Hayes argues that the central bank will ramp up money printing to finance the escalating war efforts in the Middle East. The intensified conflict between the US and Iran has created significant selling pressure, prompting investors to offload assets.
Will the Fed’s Money Printer Make Bitcoin Go Boom?
According to analyst Arthur Hayes, the ongoing conflict could drive Bitcoin (BTC) prices below the $60,000 mark. While he is unsure if BTC has hit its lowest point, Hayes believes a prolonged war could trigger a significant sell-off in both stocks and Bitcoin.
Bitcoin (BTC) has struggled since hitting a new all-time high of $126,198 in October 2025, with its price falling over 45% from that peak. The original cryptocurrency recently failed to break the $73,000 price level.
According to CoinMarketCap data, BTC is down 1.78% in the last 24 hours and 0.5% over the past month. Despite this, the asset shows some positive signs, rallying 1% in the last week and 5.8% over the last 14 days.
If the Federal Reserve starts printing more money and lowers interest rates, Bitcoin (BTC) might experience some gains. However, investor risk appetite remains low, and bearish trends are still controlling the market.
According to our expert’s technical and price analysis, Bitcoin (BTC) will hit the $80,000 mark by the end of March 2026. However, they anticipate a correction to $74,000 by early May of the same year, suggesting BTC may not sustain the $80,000 price level.
