Bitcoin’s next price floor could sit far higher than most investors expect, according to Alexandre Laizet, board director at Capital B, one of Europe’s leading Bitcoin treasury companies.
Laizet points to a specific catalyst: digital credit, a new category of Bitcoin-backed listed instruments that he says is quietly reshaping demand for the asset.
Why digital credit matters
“There is three x more demand for Bitcoin in the market than the natural Bitcoin mining supply,” Laizet said, describing digital credit as products that let mainstream investors and Wall Street access Bitcoin exposure through double-digit returns with volatility below 5 to 10 percent.
He argues the addressable market is enormous, spanning real estate and equity indices alike. “Why would you invest in the S&P 500 if the S&P 500 is 10 to 15 percent performance with 10 to 15 percent volatility,” he said, when digital credit offers similar upside with a fraction of the swings.
That demand, he said, is already visible in corporate buying. Strategy alone bought over 200,000 more Bitcoin in a matter of months this year, according to Laizet, calling it part of a broader wave of institutional accumulation.
Reading the historical bottoms
Laizet laid out Bitcoin’s pattern of higher lows across cycles. Bitcoin’s price floor climbed from $200 to $15,000, now near $50,000 to $60,000. “Probably four to eight years from now, we’ll be talking about the next Bitcoin bottom at $300,000, at $800,000, at $1 million,” he said.
He was careful to frame this as pattern recognition, not prophecy. “It’s not science,” he said. “I’m just talking about past performance. Nobody has a crystal ball.”
Acknowledging the bear case
Laizet did not dismiss the downside scenario. “The risk for everybody holding Bitcoin is Bitcoin goes down by 80 percent every year and doesn’t move for ten years,” he said, describing it as the honest worst case, even as he maintains his own conviction that Bitcoin remains the strongest long-term store of value.
Capital B’s own ambitions reflect that conviction. The company is targeting 210,000 Bitcoin, or 1 percent of total supply, by 2033, and recently raised €15 million with capacity for €99 million more, funds Laizet said are being funneled directly into digital credit products.
