SkyBridge Capital founder and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci said in an interview with CoinDesk TV this Sunday that more companies should include bitcoin (BTC) in their accounting, due to explosive growth in the money supply in the United States.

Regarding his prediction about the appreciation of the price of bitcoin to USD 100,000 by the end of the year, they asked the executive if he maintained that forecast, and if he thought that bitcoin could reach reach the price of $ 1 million someday.

Scaramucci stated in the interview that he preferred to be cautious, given that the majority of his 29,000 customer base were not fully enthusiastic about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. For that reason, it would maintain for the moment that price objective for 2021.

“A responsible financial director or treasurer has to think about other assets that they acquire and retain as a potential store of value for their organizations” , said Scaramucci.

However, he pointed out that, due to the scarcity of bitcoin and its advantages over gold as a store of value, it is possible to expect a very noticeable appreciation of said cryptocurrency in the future. “If I were to say openly what I think about my price estimates for bitcoin, they will think I was crazy,” said Scaramucci.

The investor stated that he has been acquiring bitcoin for several months and that he has already invested USD 600 million in that cryptocurrency to gradually include it in his hedge fund.
