@Scaramucci
A Wall Street allocator who put his own book where his mouth is: Scaramucci says over 70% of his net worth sits in Bitcoin and runs a fund whose crypto exposure has cost investors two straight losing quarters. He talks constantly, on the record and with dates — which makes him unusually easy to grade. The grade below is mixed on purpose.
In short. Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, a Goldman Sachs alumnus, Harvard Law graduate and — for eleven days in 2017 — White House Communications Director. In crypto he is one of the most quotable institutional bulls alive: a four-year-cycle believer who reads sentiment extremes, buys drawdowns and carries a $1M Bitcoin target for 2032. His 2026 record splits cleanly in two. The bottom and target calls he put a date on — “close to the bottom” in March, “$70K by the end of July” in June — were wrong, and expensively so. The directional reads he made once the market had actually broken — “it's going to grind higher because the sentiment is terrible” in late July — have worked. He is also on record conceding he blew his 2025 $150k target outright.
Scaramucci started in Private Wealth Management at Goldman Sachs, co-founded Oscar Capital Management (sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001), and in 2005 founded SkyBridge, the alternative asset manager he still runs as managing partner. He is also founder and chairman of SALT, the conference and venture platform, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and the author of five books. He holds an economics degree from Tufts and a JD from Harvard Law. In 2017 he served on Donald Trump's presidential transition committee and, famously briefly, as White House Communications Director — a tenure that lasted eleven days and made him a household name well beyond finance.
His crypto conviction is unusually literal. He has said repeatedly that more than 70% of his net worth is in Bitcoin, and SkyBridge's flagship $1.3bn Opportunity Fund carries roughly 64% of its holdings in crypto and digital assets — a bet that cost it −18% in Q4 2025 and −12.9% in Q1 2026, two consecutive losing quarters. That is the context for everything below: when he says buy the drawdown, he is not speculating about somebody else's money. It also cuts the other way, and the record here says so plainly — he held a $150,000 year-end target through 2025 and later conceded in a Benzinga interview that he had got it wrong, having missed the scale of the whale selling. Two of the ten 2026 calls charted here also went against him.

Top-down allocator, four-year-cycle believer. Scaramucci frames Bitcoin through supply mechanics (the 21M cap, the halving schedule), sovereign debt and debasement, and institutional plumbing (spot ETFs, custody, regulation) — then uses sentiment extremes as his entry timer: a Fear & Greed reading near zero, oversold weekly RSI, forced sellers rather than broken fundamentals. He is a buyer of drawdowns with a multi-year horizon, not a trader of them. The recurring weakness is timing: his structural read has been broadly right while the dates and levels he attaches to it — a bottom in March, $70k by July, $150k in 2025 — have repeatedly been too early and too high.
Structurally very bullish — a $1M 2032 target and 70%+ of his own net worth in BTC — but currently patient rather than aggressive: he expects the rally to start late in Q4 2026, not today.
Ten dated statements from a rolling 2026 sample, each one re-fetched from its source and confirmed verbatim on that page before it was charted. Two are his own X posts; eight are dated third-party coverage. Scaramucci makes two very different kinds of call, and we have deliberately kept both: timed, falsifiable ones (“close to the bottom”, “$70K by the end of July”) and open-ended structural ones (“it cannot be devalued”, “$100,000 eventually”). The timed ones are where he has been hurt — both of the calls marked went against below carried a date. The reads he made after the market had already broken have aged much better.
“And by October I think you'll see the prices rallying again.”
Speaking at the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium with BTC at $77,297, he put a month on the turn — October — while calling the CLARITY Act politically dead. Too early to grade: BTC has since ranged −2.2% to +5.1% and sits at $76,350 (−1.2%). October has not happened yet, so this is open.

He called it “a clear bear market” and put the next real catalyst — the halving — roughly 20 months away. The timing luck was remarkable: $64,491 that day is the lowest close in the whole remaining window, so BTC has never traded lower since (+0.0%), ran to $81,265 (+26.0%) and sits +18.4% higher. But the number he named was $100,000, BTC is still 24% below it, and he attached no deadline — so we log it open, not a win.

His cleanest call of the year, and the one with no number attached: with the Fear & Greed Index at 28 and BTC at $65,052, he argued exhausted sellers meant a slow climb rather than a fresh leg down. That is exactly what happened — only a −3.5% dip, a run to $81,265 (+24.9%) and $76,350 (+17.4%) now. A grind, not a surge, just as described.

He put a weight on the conviction — roughly 30% of a fresh portfolio in Bitcoin — days after the cycle low, with BTC at $64,111. Staying invested paid: the worst subsequent dip was −2.9%, the high $81,265 (+26.8%), and BTC is +19.1% at $76,350. Worth noting he hedged himself in the same interview: “I've been humbled by markets. I could be wrong about Bitcoin.”

A public thread restating the long at $63,490, arguing the selloff was forced sellers — miners covering costs, leverage unwinding — rather than broken fundamentals. It held: BTC dipped only −7.8% to the July low, reached $81,265 (+28.0%) and is +20.3% now. His read on why the market was falling was the right one.
𝕏 Post“5 reasons I'm still long Bitcoin” — @Scaramucci on X↗ x.com“Bitcoin can reclaim $70K by the end of July. I just think because it's burnt out and the sentiment is so negative that any incremental buying will lift it through $70K”
The most falsifiable call he made all year, and it failed. From $65,709 BTC never got near $70k before the deadline — the best it managed by 31 July was $66,521 (+1.2%), still 5% short — and it first fell −10.9% to $58,566. TheStreet itself wrote the epitaph nine days before the deadline: “July is nearly over. The $70,000 target has not been hit.” It is +16.2% today, but the call had a date on it and the date passed.

Said in conversation with Mike Novogratz at $61,670, with weekly RSI under 30. The bottom half of the read was nearly exact — BTC fell just −5.0% further, to $58,566 on 1 July, and turned. The timing half is the open question: he said no recovery before Q4, yet BTC has already run +31.8% off that day to $81,265 and holds +23.8% at $76,350 — still 39% below the old high, so “recovered” is genuinely arguable. Logged open until Q4 resolves it.

The pure S-curve thesis — Bitcoin adopted like Amazon or Microsoft, with the volatility that late adopters bring — argued at $78,133, near a local high. It is a decade-long claim, not a level, and the decade has started badly: BTC fell −25.0% to $58,566 afterwards and is still −2.3% at $76,350, having never exceeded +4.0%. Nothing here is disproven — but nothing is proven either. Open.

I owned one Bitcoin during the bear market. Same Bitcoin. Different feelings. The asset didn't change. The price did.”
Not a target — a hold instruction, posted at $72,920 with BTC down from $126k. Taking it meant sitting through another −19.7% to $58,566 before the recovery, and you are up just +4.7% at $76,350 five months later, against a best of +12.5%. The advice was psychologically sound and financially thin so far — open.
𝕏 Post“The asset didn't change. The price did.” — @Scaramucci on X↗ x.com“Could it trade lower? Sure. Anything can happen. It's Bitcoin, but we're getting close to the bottom.”
On Scott Melker's podcast, with Fear & Greed at 5 and BTC at $70,987, he said buy it here and set the $1M by 2032 target. He gave himself the out — “could it trade lower? Sure” — and it did: BTC fell another −17.5% to $58,566 over the following three months. It has since recovered to $76,350 (+7.6%), so the purchase is green; the bottom call was not, and that is what is being graded.

Each card is dated by the source's own publication date (or, for X posts, the tweet's timestamp) — not by when a story resurfaced. Anything whose horizon runs past this chart window (Q4 2026, 2032) is logged still open, never as a win. Near-term marks can flip.
Scaramucci is not a media personality who happens to own crypto — he is an asset manager whose fund is long the thing he talks about, on television, most weeks. That alignment is honest and disclosed, but it is still an interest.
He is founder and managing partner of SkyBridge, an SEC-registered alternative asset manager. Its flagship $1.3bn Opportunity Fund holds roughly 64% in crypto and digital assets — so bullish commentary is commentary on his own book, and on his clients'.
That book has hurt: the fund fell 18% in Q4 2025 and 12.9% in Q1 2026, two straight losing quarters, and it filled only about 8% of the shares investors tendered for redemption in the latest repurchase offer. Weigh his optimism against the pressure that creates.
He founded and chairs SALT, a conference and venture platform whose sponsors and speakers are largely the industry he comments on. He also says over 70% of his personal net worth is in Bitcoin — full alignment with the retail holder, and full exposure to the same bias.

There is no video library to link — Scaramucci hosts no channel of his own, and the SALT channel has been dormant for years. His output is other people's programmes plus his X account, which is exactly why every call above links to a dated page carrying the quoted words. The appearances charted here are The Wolf Of All Streets Podcast with Scott Melker (22 Mar, published 24 Mar), RiskReversal Media (17 May), a conversation with Mike Novogratz (10 Jun), All Things Markets (15 Jun), an interview with Phil Rose (11 Jul), CNBC (24 Jul and 18 Aug) and Coinage at the SALT Wyoming Blockchain Symposium (3 Sep), alongside his own X posts of 11 Apr and 20 Jun.
The founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, a Goldman Sachs alumnus and Harvard Law graduate who also founded and chairs the SALT conference. Outside finance he is best known for an eleven-day stint as White House Communications Director in 2017. He is one of the most visible institutional Bitcoin bulls in the market.
He has set a $1 million target for 2032, and in 2026 has repeatedly said Bitcoin will “move back up over $100,000” without naming a date. He also argued Bitcoin could reach roughly half of gold's market capitalisation — about $12 trillion, or near $500,000 a coin — over five years. All of these run past the chart window above, so none of them is scored as a win here.
Mixed, and the record above says so: three of ten dated 2026 calls played out, five are still open, and two went against him — a “close to the bottom” call in March that preceded another 17.5% drop, and a “$70K by the end of July” target that missed. He has also publicly conceded that his $150,000 target for 2025 was wrong.
He has said publicly that over 70% of his net worth is in Bitcoin. SkyBridge's flagship $1.3bn fund separately holds roughly 64% of its portfolio in crypto and digital assets. No audited figure for his personal holdings is public — ignore any specific number.
