Bitcoin Surge Past $65K Linked To Rising Donald Trump Election Odds, Bernstein Says

Bitcoin’s recent rise above $65K is being driven by the increasing odds of a Donald Trump election victory, according to analysts at Bernstein.

“We believe the recent bitcoin strength is being driven by the return of bitcoin’s correlation to Trump’s election odds,” Bernstein analysts said in an Oct. 15 note.

Donald Trump The Favorite To Win The Election As MSTR Seen As A Corporate BTC Index

Former US President Trump’s odds of winning the election currently stand at 56.5% on the decentralized betting platform, Polymarket. Meanwhile, his political rival and current US Vice President Kamala Harris has a 43% chance, according to bettors on the platform. Trump also has the lead in five of the six swing states.

The US-regulated Kalshi shows that Trump leads Harris as well. Odds in favor of Trump currently stand at 55% after a 2% increase, while bets for Harris place her chances at 45% following a 1% decrease.

“We believe the bitcoin market strength is recent and reflective of the current spike in Trump odds,” the Bernstein analysts wrote. 

Donald Trump Polling Odds Impact Crypto Fund Flows

Trump’s rising odds have also had a positive impact on crypto fund flows in the last week, according to CoinShares. During the week from Oct. 5-11, digital asset investment products posted inflows of $407 million. 

CoinShares’ head of research James Butterfill believes BTC’s rise is not linked to “better-than-expected-economic-data.” Instead, the increase in pro-crypto Republican Trump’s odds of becoming president has resulted in an “immediate boost in inflows and prices.”

MSTR Price Also A Leading Indicator For Bitcoin

The Bernstein analysts also believe that MicroStrategy’s MSTR stock price is like a leading indicator for the king of cryptos. This is after the firm has accumulated 252,220 Bitcoins since 2020, and has outperformed the flagship crypto this year.

Since the start of 2024, MSTR has gained 191%, over three times more than the 55% increase BTC saw during the same period.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of
