- JAN3 CEO Samson Mow predicts that the Bitcoin price at $500,000 will challenge fiat and become a true store of value.
- A breakout could push BTC to $93,216, but a drop below $86,536 risks a correction.
- Institutional adoption and regulatory clarity could fuel long-term gains.
JAN3 CEO Samson Mow has predicted seismic shifts in the global financial landscape once the Bitcoin price reaches $500,000 per coin. His analysis of Bitcoin’s future comes as the asset struggles to break free of a key resistance that’s been holding it down for the better part of March 2025.
The price of BTC has dropped 0.2% in the last 24 hours to trade at $87,502 as of 2:36 a.m. EST on an 18.2% decline in trading volume to $20.4 billion.
Mow: $500,000 Bitcoin Price Changes Everything
In a recent episode of Simply Bitcoin, a popular cryptocurrency discussion platform, Mow dove deep into the implications of BTC price soaring to $500,000. At that price point, Bitcoin’s market capitalization would reach approximately half of gold’s, a benchmark that many in the crypto space see as a tipping point.
Mow painted a vivid picture of a “post-$500,000 world,” suggesting that Bitcoin’s ascent to this level would fundamentally alter its role in the financial ecosystem. There’s already speculation that implementing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve initiative in the U.S. could significantly impact Bitcoin price, potentially pushing it towards $1 million, putting it at par with Gold’s current market cap.
However, the JAN3 CEO argued that as the Bitcoin market cap approaches just half of that ($10 trillion), investors would begin to see it not just as a speculative asset, but as a legitimate store of value and medium of exchange.
“At that point, the question isn’t whether you cash out to fiat, it’s whether fiat even matters anymore.”

However, not everyone is convinced the path to $500,000 will be smooth. Historical bull runs have faced challenges due to exchange backlogs, particularly during KYC (Know Your Customer) processes.
Due to this, many other analysts remain cautious, pointing out the current lack of significant movement in recent Bitcoin price and volume.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent dip to a four-month low of $76,642, Mow remains optimistic. He cited increasing institutional adoption and potential regulatory clarity under the Trump administration as key drivers for Bitcoin’s long-term growth.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: $88,000 Marks A Make or Break Moment
The BTC price action is currently in an uptrend, but consolidation occurs within a bullish pennant pattern on the 6-hour chart. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is acting as support, while the 200-day SMA is just a slight distance above, indicating that BTC is in a medium-term uptrend but faces resistance ahead.
The price is forming a bullish pennant, an upward continuation pattern that could lead to a further rally if the upper boundary of the pennant is broken.
Should the BTC price surge higher, it would meet overhead resistance at $89,834 (the 200-day SMA) and, beyond that, soar to $93,216, which is a measured move from the bullish pennant breakout. This would constitute a 6.17% increase from the current price.
Conversely, if bears exert pressure and the price closes below $86,536, it will invalidate the current bullish set-up and further correct to the 50-day SMA at $85,015. If sell pressure persists, BTC may find further support at $83,922 and $80,000.
The relative strength index (RSI) is neutral at 57.37, showing no immediate overbought or oversold signals. However, the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) indicator shows a bearish crossover, which suggests weakening bullish momentum.
The 18.2% decline in Bitcoin trading volume is common during consolidation. A high volume breakout from this bullish pennant will confirm the next move.
Final thoughts
As Bitcoin price continues its volatile journey, Mow’s vision of a post-$500,000 world has ignited both excitement and skepticism. Whether Bitcoin becomes the new global standard or remains a speculative asset, one thing is clear: the conversation around its future is only just beginning.
