Settlement Conditions

Predictor: Arthur Hayes Made: December 19, 2025 Source: Essay titled “Love Language”

Hit condition: Bitcoin (BTC-USD) reaches or exceeds $200,000 USD at any point before the end of March 2026.

Miss condition: Bitcoin (BTC-USD) fails to reach $200,000 USD at any point before the end of March 2026.

Outcome: MISS — Bitcoin did not reach $200,000 by end of March 2026. As of March 30, 2026, BTC is trading at approximately $67,603, roughly 66% below the predicted target.

“As the market equates RMP to QE, Bitcoin will quickly retake $124,000 and punch quickly towards $200,000,” Hayes wrote.
