Bitwise’s André Dragosch breaks down rising 10-year yields, why rapid moves trigger stock market drops, and how a Fed pivot launches Bitcoin.
The 10-year Treasury yield is spiking, and Bitwise’s André Dragosch has a rule of thumb for when that becomes dangerous: 80 basis points in 20 trading days. He explains why the speed of the move matters more than the level, how a stock market correction could force a Fed pivot, and why that pivot could be the last domino before a genuine Bitcoin bull market.

Asanat Analysis — Why it matters
Dragosch's $197k valuation model likely incorporates real-rate dynamics: as 10-year Treasury yields rise, the discount rate applied to Bitcoin's future cash flows increases, which paradoxically can justify higher nominal prices if the model assumes Bitcoin's supply scarcity premium compounds faster than risk-free rates. This represents a shift from pure macro-correlation thinking toward asset-class fundamentals, signaling how institutional frameworks are hardening around Bitcoin's role in multi-asset portfolios.
The mention of rapid moves triggering equity selloffs flags a critical second-order risk: if Bitcoin's volatility spikes correlate with rising yields and equity de-risking, a $197k target assumes the Fed's policy trajectory stabilizes without sharp surprises. Any unexpected inflation print or hawkish pivot would stress this thesis. Historically, such valuation anchors by major asset managers (Bitwise manages $10B+ in crypto) influence institutional allocation decisions, potentially self-reinforcing price discovery toward the stated level if conviction spreads.
