The next Bitcoin halving event is less than 9 months away and the consensus opinion among analysts and investors is that the halving will send BTC price to a new all time high or even above $100,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite this belief, the absence of fresh inflow to the crypto market, the current macroeconomic headwinds and BTC\u2019s recent price action below $30,000 do not inspire much confidence in this theory in the short-term. <\/p>\n
In a recent interview with Paul Barron, Hut8 vice president Sue Ennis shared her thoughts on how Bitcoin price will rise above $100,000 in the next year and how the upcoming halving will impact BTC miners. Hut8 currently has a balance of 9,152 BTC in reserve, of which 8,305 is unencumbered. The company\u2019s installed ASIC hashrate capacity sits at 2.6 ETH\/s and Hut8 mined 44.6 BTC in July.<\/p>\n
In the interview, Barron inquired whether rising Bitcoin difficulty for miners could induce a fresh wave of sell pressure against BTC price. Citing data from Hashrate Index, Barron observed that spikes in Bitcoin difficulty were followed by drops in BTC price. <\/p>\n
