Bitcoin Primed for $600K Surge as S&P 500 Faces 50% Collapse—Analyst Drops Bombshell Prediction
Forget ’safe’ assets—Bitcoin’s gearing up for a moonshot while traditional markets brace for impact. One analyst’s throwing gasoline on the crypto fire with a jaw-dropping forecast.
When the S&P 500 tanks, Bitcoin flies
As Wall Street sweats over a potential 50% nosedive in the S&P 500, Bitcoin’s lining up for a historic rally. The $600K price target isn’t just hopium—it’s a direct challenge to the old financial guard.
Goldman Sachs won’t like this
While hedge funds scramble to hedge their bets (ironic, right?), crypto’s proving once again that decentralized assets don’t play by Wall Street’s rulebook. The coming months could rewrite the entire playbook—if the suits don’t interfere.
Remember: analysts get paid to be wrong until they’re suddenly right. But this time? The math’s looking spicy.
A Doomsday Scenario for Traditional Markets
Krueger is basing his thesis on a catastrophic breakdown in U.S. financial stability, beginning with a failed $200 billion Treasury auction in late July 2025. According to his projection, weak demand for U.S. debt will potentially force the Federal Reserve into emergency interventions, sparking a crisis of confidence in the dollar.
Within weeks, BRICS nations, led by economic heavyweights China and Russia, will announce a gold-backed global payment system, speeding up the decline of USD dominance and pushing BTC to $180,000.
By August, the investor claims the situation will escalate dramatically, with a major U.S. pension fund possibly halting redemptions, which will force the Fed to impose yield cap control that should cap Treasury rates at 6.5% while the dollar goes into freefall. Meanwhile, countries such as Nigeria, Turkey, and Venezuela will ostensibly start shifting foreign reserves into Bitcoin, pushing its price to $265,000, with Gold potentially rallying to the $6,700 level.
The most explosive phase in the $600,000 timeline will arrive in September, when Krueger predicts several U.S. tech titans, including Apple, Tesla, and Google, will reveal huge BTC holdings, with the iPhone Maker allegedly accumulating as much as 200,000 BTC since April. At this juncture, he postulates that the cryptocurrency’s price will have reached $460,000.
Additionally, the expert speculates that the IMF will make a historic move, announcing a new global reserve basket with bitcoin making up half of it, gold covering 30%, and the remaining 20% taken up by other assets.
By early October, Krueger claims the U.S. government will be forced to convene an emergency “New Bretton Woods” summit, where it will restructure the dollar to be partially backed by BTC and gold. It is in this macro-maelstrom that he sees the king cryptocurrency hitting $600,000, gold reaching $10,400, and the S&P 500 losing half its value.
Strong Fundamentals
While Krueger’s roadmap reads like financial fiction, Bitcoin has shown some of the resilience and bullish momentum he’s basing his prediction on.
At the time of writing, the asset was trading at $107,000, up a slight 1% in 24 hours, which has put it just 1.3% away from rediscovering its all-time high. On a monthly basis, BTC is up 23.1%, and year-over-year, it has surged 51.6%.
Much of this strength comes from steady institutional demand and constrained supply. Spot Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. have recorded eight days of positive flows out of the last ten, with total inflows topping $3.3 billion since the beginning of May, according to Farside Investors. This comes as heavyweights like MicroStrategy and Metaplanet announced additional BTC purchases, totaling nearly $850 million.
