Is Bitcoin Still Following Stock-to-Flow?

When it comes to Bitcoin, the stock-to-flow model is often cited as a key reason why the cryptocurrency is valuable. But what is the stock-to-flow model? And is Bitcoin still following it?

In simple terms, the stock-to-flow model looks at the relationship between the total supply of an asset and the rate at which new units are produced. The higher the ratio of existing units to new units, the higher the asset’s stock-to-flow ratio.

In general, assets with a high stock-to-flow ratio are considered to be more scarce and therefore more valuable. That’s because there is a lower supply of them relative to new production.

Bitcoin, for example, has a high stock-to-flow ratio because there is a limited supply of 21 million bitcoins that will ever be created.

The stock-to-flow model was first proposed by an analyst known as PlanB in March 2019. At the time, PlanB argued that Bitcoin was following a similar trajectory to other scarce assets such as gold.

NOTE: This article is intended to provide an overview of the current state of Bitcoin’s stock-to-flow ratio, and should not be taken as financial advice. Before investing in Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, please conduct your own due diligence and research, including seeking professional advice from a qualified financial advisor. Please remember that the stock-to-flow ratio is only one factor in determining the value of Bitcoin, and other factors such as market sentiment, regulations, and public opinion can also significantly impact the price. Investing in cryptocurrency is a high-risk activity and you should never invest more than what you can afford to lose.

Since then, the stock-to-flow model has been widely accepted by many in the cryptocurrency community as a way to value Bitcoin. In fact, some have even argued that it’s one of the most important models for understanding Bitcoin’s price movements.

So, what does the stock-to-flow model predict for Bitcoin’s future price?

Based on historical data, PlanB predicts that Bitcoin could reach $100,000 per coin by December 2021. That would represent a more than 10x increase from its current price around $9,000 per coin.

Of course, it’s important to remember that predictions are never guaranteed. And there are always risks and uncertainties associated with any investment.

But if Bitcoin does continue to follow the stock-to-flow model, it could be in for some big gains in the years ahead.
