Top Investor Predicts Shocking Move by U.S. Government in Bitcoin Market
Venture investor Anthony Pompliano believes Bitcoin’s next big surge could be triggered not by another ETF approval or corporate treasury play — but by the U.S. government itself.
Speaking on CNBC, the ProCap founder suggested that a federal move into Bitcoin may be inevitable. While still speculative, he framed such a development as a potential game-changer that could send markets into a frenzy.
Pompliano emphasized that Bitcoin continues to hold the lion’s share of Wall Street’s attention, even as altcoins like Ethereum and Solana enjoy brief inflow spikes. He argued that despite their momentum, they’ve yet to break all-time highs, while Bitcoin has already crossed that threshold.
Stablecoins, in his view, have utility but lack growth potential. He pointed out that while their adoption is rising, their fixed value limits any meaningful financial upside. Bitcoin, on the other hand, offers both utility and long-term appreciation.
When asked what could push BTC into its next bull phase, Pompliano cited three major drivers: a government acquisition announcement, institutional holdouts finally entering the market, and a broader shift in investor sentiment from cautious to fully optimistic.
Pompliano didn’t offer a timeline, but his message was clear — the next seismic move in Bitcoin’s journey might come from Washington, not Wall Street.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
