An analyst revealed on Friday that Bitcoin might suffer a 91% decline from the coin’s all-time high of $109,000 per coin in January 2025, suggesting that the most popular cryptocurrency could potentially crash.
Mike McGlone believes that the firstborn crypto might plummet to a low of $10,000 per coin, reigniting concerns that Bitcoin might experience another deep correction similar to 2011 when Bitcoin dipped by as much as 92%.
BTC To Crash To $10K?
McGlone, a Senior Commodity Strategist at Bloomberg Intelligence, predicted that Bitcoin might be heading to what he described as a devastating collapse, resulting in the crypto sliding to $10,000.
“Bitcoin Back to $10,000? Peak Leveraged Beta Risks, Rising Gold – #Gold is up about the same amount in 2025 to March 13 — about 15% — that #Bitcoin is down,” McGlone said.
If Bitcoin will plunge to $10,000, it will represent a 90% decrease from BTC’s all-time high of $109,000 in January 2025. On the other hand, it will fall by 88% if based on its current price of about $83,000.

The analyst explained that Bitcoin is more likely to face a significant correction that might push it downward to $10,000. Historically, the firstborn crypto experienced a deep correction in 2011 when the BTC declined to 92% from its high at that time.
Has The Crash Begun?
In an X post, McGlone suggested Bitcoin’s crash to $10,000 may have already started, citing that risk markets are showing signs of overheating while gold rises.
The analyst explained that gold has increased by 1% while Bitcoin went down, saying, “But with Bitcoin at about $80,000, what stops those trajectories?”
“About a 6% decline in the S&P 500 could suggest what matters. The biggest #ETF launch in history, President Donald Trump’s shift to highly volatile and speculative #cryptos, and reelection could prove [a] peak-bubble akin to about 25 years ago,” he added in a post, suggesting that BTC might have reached the peak of a dot-com-style bubble.
Rebuttal Of The Analysis
Many Bitcoin proponents and analysts disagree with McGlone’s analysis, with one crypto analyst, David Weisberger countering the evaluation of the Bloomberg analyst, saying his assessment was flawed.
“When one considers an option as an asset, THIS is what happens to one’s analysis. If there was ZERO increase in Bitcoin adoption and IF those who invested thinking Bitcoin will demonetize gold change their minds and IF the stock market correction turns into a rout, and IF “BETA” was stable, Then this scenario could play out,” Weisberger explained.
He argued that the scenario in McGlone’s analysis is unlikely to happen. “I think none of the above will happen with a chance the stock market crashes, which, of course, would trigger a flood of liquidity.”

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
