- Authority: MD and Senior Analyst, Global Digital Assets at Bernstein (an AllianceBernstein subsidiary managing ~$800B AUM), covering Bitcoin and crypto since 2015. One of the most prolific Wall Street analysts publishing specific, dated Bitcoin price targets. Regularly cited by Bloomberg and The Block as the most specific institutional Bitcoin forecaster on Wall Street.
- Prediction: March 2024: Raised year-end 2024 target to $90K by December 31, 2024. Hit — BTC closed 2024 at ~$93K–$94K. October 2024: Predicted $80K–$90K if Trump won the election. Hit — Trump won; BTC hit $90K+ within weeks. June 2024: Set $200K by end of 2025, calling it "conservative." Miss — BTC closed 2025 at ~$87.5K. $150K by end of 2025 (reiterated Q1 2026). $1M Bitcoin by end of 2033 (long-term halving cycle thesis). Short-to-medium term directional calls (12–24 months) have a strong hit rate.
