Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of the SkyBridge Capital investment firm and former White House communications director, is predicting a new Bitcoin (BTC) rally by the end of 2026.
In an interview with CNBC published on Wednesday, June 17, Scaramucci said that Bitcoin remains in line with historical four-year cycles and expressed confidence that the cryptocurrency will rally again in late 2026 and early 2027.
The comments came in defense of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), as the financier dismissed concerns about the company’s financial health following Bitcoin’s sharp decline.
Specifically, Scaramucci argued that Saylor’s balance sheet and sizable capital reserves leave the company well-positioned, even if the flagship crypto plunges further.
“You have to really understand the mechanisms of the balance sheet to understand that Bitcoin can go a lot lower, and he’s virtually not in trouble,” Scaramucci said.

Further, the investor noted that Strategy’s stock continues to trade at a premium to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. This, he argued, creates arbitrage opportunities and should support investor confidence.
“I still like Bitcoin. I own a lot of it,” he added.
The company currently holds nearly $52 billion worth of Bitcoin, or roughly 31 months’ worth of dividend and interest obligations. At the same time, it also maintains about $1 billion in cash reserves and has no major debt maturities until 2028.
Moreover, Scaramucci argued that the current cycle has been less severe than previous ones. For instance, he noted that while Bitcoin has indeed declined around 50% from its peak in October 2025, earlier cycles saw crashes of up to 70%.
Strong institutional demand and increasing retail participation through spot Bitcoin ETFs, the speaker added, have helped soften the blow. Therefore, despite recent volatility, he reaffirmed his conviction in both the digital asset and Strategy.
