Three years ago, Jason Calacanis told crypto founders to abandon their industry for AI stocks. Now, the prominent Silicon Valley investor has another warning: sell Bitcoin before it crashes again.
Calacanis predicted on Tuesday that Bitcoin would fall to $57,000 within 12 months, nearly 29% below its $79,774 price at the time.
He went further, claiming Bitcoin would never reach another all-time high.
“A brutal year for Bitcoin is just getting started,” he wrote.
Calacanis has a reputation for spotting technology trends early. He backed Uber and Robinhood before they became household names and co-hosts the influential All-In podcast.
His June 2023 advice to “pivot to AI” proved well-timed.
An investment of $10,000 in Nvidia that day would now be worth approximately $56,100. Bitcoin would have returned around $30,100.
Yet his record deserves context. Semiconductor stocks broadly performed similarly to Bitcoin over that period. Calacanis also recommended buying Bitcoin directly in September 2025.
Calacanis believes Bitcoin is losing investor interest while AI offers greater economic value.
“Just sell and shift from Bitcoin to Super Intelligence,” he argued, describing Bitcoin as a “dead network.”
There are reasons for concern. Bitcoin has fallen roughly 37% from its October 2025 peak near $126,200.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs also lost approximately $773 million on October 22–23.
Glassnode estimates that these funds purchased their holdings at an average price near $81,500, leaving them under pressure at current levels.
However, ETF inflows recovered by approximately $110 million on October 26. The data has yet to establish sustained institutional selling.
The performance gap is striking. Over the past year, semiconductor stocks gained roughly 62% while Bitcoin lost 30%.
Yet Bitcoin remains positively correlated with technology stocks. Its 90-day correlation with the Nasdaq stood at 0.38 through October 25, suggesting both can fall when investors retreat from risk.
Even Calacanis’s own AI-linked cryptocurrency investment, Bittensor (TAO), has fallen approximately 40% over the past year.
Meanwhile, Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn believes Bitcoin bottomed in June and could recover toward $125,000 as long-term selling eases.
His bullish outlook would weaken if Bitcoin stayed below roughly $76,540. That makes the coming weeks critical for judging whether Calacanis’s crash prediction has substance.
