Arthur Hayes, co‑founder of BitMEX, said the AI build‑out looks like a leveraged real‑estate bubble—a situation where borrowers use borrowed money to buy property—and could end with a massive government bailout, which he believes would create enough new cash to push Bitcoin above $1 million after a possible drop to $50,000.

Arthur Hayes, co‑founder of BitMEX, said the AI build‑out looks like a leveraged real‑estate bubble—a situation where borrowers use borrowed money to buy property—and could end with a massive government bailout, which he believes would create enough new cash to push Bitcoin above $1 million after a possible drop to $50,000.
Confirmed
Global impact / market context
Hayes links a potential AI‑related crisis to a large influx of cash, which could dramatically raise Bitcoin’s price and change how investors think about risk and diversification in crypto.
Analyst inference
If a big government bailout occurs, the sudden increase in money supply may flow into speculative assets like Bitcoin, potentially sparking a price surge and drawing new investors to the crypto market.
Analyst inference

- Announcements of government bailouts or financial support for AI or tech sectors, which could release large amounts of cash that might flow into Bitcoin. Proposed
- Movements in Bitcoin’s price, especially if it approaches the $50,000 level, showing how the market reacts to Hayes’ comments. Proposed
- Regulatory statements about financial risks from AI, as they may affect investor sentiment toward Bitcoin as a safe‑haven asset. Proposed
