CryptoQuant’s founder and CEO, who is also the company’s on-chain analyst, has revealed where Bitcoin’s peak market cap is based on current hashrate.
Bitcoin Ceiling could lie at this level based on Network Hashrate
It’s a brand new world post Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant and its founder, discussed a BTC-pricing model on X that uses mining hashrate trends to determine upper and low bounds for the price.
It is important to note that the word “you” means “you”. mining hashrate Here is a measure that tracks the amount of computing power currently available to miners connected to the Bitcoin Blockchain.
The miners compete with each other using their computers to be the first ones to solve certain puzzles. They receive compensation for the blocks if they are the winners.

Hashrate is used by some to measure the intrinsic value. Since BTC wouldn’t be possible without miners (or, would at least be less secure) without a fully decentralized network.
Bitcoin miners must pay electricity to maintain the hashrate and will only run farms that are worth the cost.
Chart below demonstrates that BTC hashrate is increasing and reaching new all time highs.
This uptrend can be attributed to the recent rally of the asset. Price is the primary variable that determines the income for these chain validators. block subsidy The BTC they receive fluctuates naturally with the BTC.
The BTC is a network that has its value permanently cut in half every four years. This is called the Halving. As a result of this halving, the revenue generated by miners in BTC continues to decline.
Young Ju’s pricing model takes this into consideration by adjusting hashrate. The indicator takes this market cap ratio and adjusts it to the adjusted hashrate. It then determines what the high and low values of this ratio were in asset history.
The chart below shows how the value of an asset’s capitalisation would need to change to equal either extreme.
The graph shows that the Bitcoin maximum market cap, calculated based upon the hashrate of the Bitcoin network at the time is approximately $5 trillion. Its current market capital is just a bit under $1.9 billion, or 38%.
It is worth noting that 2021’s bull run top was below the top of the model. It’s also possible that the peak of the current cycle will not reach the line. But the fact that the ratio of the BTC market cap to the total value was higher back then, than in the current cycle could indicate there is still some room in the rally for BTC.
