Bitcoin Back Above $100K? Scaramucci Says the 2028 Halving Holds the Key

SkyBridge Capital founder and managing partner Anthony Scaramucci told CNBC’s Squawk Box on Tuesday that Bitcoin (BTC) will climb back over $100,000 as the halving cycle tightens prices, a level the asset has not closed above since November 13, 2025.

“I think as the halving cycle comes in again, it will tighten prices and you’ll see a move back up over $100k,” says @Scaramucci of $BTC.
