Summary
<p>Bitcoin is headed for the fourth annual decline in its history, and the first one that didn’t coincide with a major scandal or industry meltdown. While the latest decline is a much milder correction than in the previous three down years, it’s happened against a vastly different backdrop. Since the last major crypto crash in 2022, institutional adoption has widened, regulation has matured, and the industry has found its arguably most important champion in US President Donald Trump.<br /><br />Fred Thiel, the CEO of MARA, which is the second largest publicly held bitcoin miner, explains why the remains committed to the world's leading cryptocurrency, and why he sees a market recovery on the horizon. Fred speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
