If Bessent Repeats Yellen's 2023 Money Printing Playbook, BTC Math Points to $224K

BeInCrypto reported that Bitcoin could point to $224,000 under a scenario in which Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent repeats what the outlet describes as former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s 2023 “money printing playbook.” The figure is presented as a conditional calculation rather than a confirmed market outcome.

The report’s premise links potential U.S. fiscal and monetary conditions to Bitcoin’s price outlook. Bitcoin is the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is often discussed by investors as an asset that may react to changes in liquidity, inflation expectations and confidence in traditional currencies.

Yellen served as U.S. Treasury secretary before Bessent. The headline does not establish that Bessent has adopted, or will adopt, the policies assumed in the $224,000 scenario. It instead frames the projection around whether similar conditions emerge.

Bitcoin price models and macro-based projections can vary substantially depending on their assumptions. The $224,000 figure should therefore be understood as the result of the scenario described by BeInCrypto, not as a guarantee of Bitcoin’s future price.
