Bitcoin and the inflation problem

Bitcoin’s deflationary design has become a popular value store for early cryptocurrency adopters, but its role as a Inflation hedge In the traditional sense is subject to debate.

A 2025 Study that appeared in Journal of Economics and Business It has been determined that Bitcoin inflation-hedging capabilities have weakened in recent years due to increased institutional adoption. The study referred to 60% Bitcoin collapse in 2022 when US inflation rose to a 40-year high above 9%.

However, some analysts may be opposed to claiming by disputes that investors purchased Bitcoin during pandemia with hopes of increasing inflation due to the massive government inspiration.

During this time, “investors saw inflation coming, so they started buying a bitcoin hand-over-fist,” Says Investor and analyst Anthony Pompliano.

Regardless of whether Bitcoin meets the technical meaning of an inflation hedge, the owner has significantly more than just the inflation, or the collapse of money, since it started.

The Bitcoin price Dipped below $ 80,000 on April 10 after the latest US Inflation Data has been able to compromise the market volatility. However, the report showed a sharp decay in annual inflation in March, with the consumer price index falling to 2.4% from 2.8% in February.
