Bitcoin Holds Steady at $117K Today — Twenty One Capital CEO Predicts a 200x Surge Ahead

Jakarta, Pintu News – The CEO of Twenty One Capital predicts that the value of Bitcoin (BTC) could increase up to 200 times in the next few years. This projection comes after the price of BTC surged past $117,000 following an interest rate cut by the Fed for the first time this year.

Then, how is the current Bitcoin price movement?

Twenty One Capital CEO Bets Big on Bitcoin’s Future

In an interview on NYSE TV, Twenty One Capital CEO Jack Mallers revealed his long-term view on Bitcoin. He stated that the cryptocurrency is targeting a huge store of value market, which is currently dominated by stocks, property, precious metals, and high-value artwork.

“The current market value of Bitcoin is around $2.5 trillion,” Mallers said. He adds that the asset has the potential to grow 100 to 200 times if it is able to capture a fraction of that wealth.

Furthermore, he also positions Bitcoin as a hedge against falling currency values, calling it a logical replacement for traditional forms of store of value.

Twenty One Capital, founded in April 2025 by Mallers, is a Bitcoin-only investment firm that operates like a treasury fund. The company has backing from big names such as Tether, Bitfinex, and SoftBank.

As BTC prices continue to rise, Twenty One Capital is preparing to list on exchanges through a SPAC merger with Cantor Fitzgerald’s Cantor Equity Partners. If approved by the SEC, the company will trade on Nasdaq under the stock code XXI – a reference to Bitcoin’s maximum supply of 21 million coins.

The company is positioning itself as a regulated investment gateway for institutional investors who want exposure to Bitcoin without the need to hold private keys directly. Each share of the company will represent proportional ownership of the Bitcoin reserves they hold.

Ahead of its stock listing, Twenty One Capital continues to enlarge its treasury reserves. Currently, the company has accumulated 43,500 BTC, surpassing the Bitcoin holdings of early companies like Tesla (TSLAX).

Fed rate cut pushes BTC to $117,000

Bitcoin’s price rise has been further reinforced by changes in macroeconomic policy. On Thursday (17/9), the Federal Reserve made its first interest rate cut in 2025, lowering it by 25 basis points. With this cut, the benchmark interest rate range stands at 4-4.25%.

After the announcement, the price of Bitcoin fell to $115,000 following Fed Chairman Jerome Powell’s statement that the next interest rate cut is uncertain and will depend on inflation data and labor market conditions.

However, the price of BTC quickly recovered and was back trading at $117,400 by the evening. The overall crypto market also saw gains: Ethereum rose 2% to $4,633, while XRP jumped nearly 3% to $3.11.

Analysts noted that the Fed’s cautious stance reflects an attempt to strike a balance between promoting economic growth and avoiding a spike in inflation.

In general, lower interest rates increase the attractiveness of Bitcoin as an alternative asset – especially for institutional investors looking for a non-governmental store of value.
