- Over 90% of total net worth remains allocated to Bitcoin long-term conviction.
- No new Bitcoin purchases planned until major global liquidity expansion occurs.
- Select altcoins like Zcash and Hyperliquid favored for new capital deployment.
Arthur Hayes, BitMEX co-founder, has disclosed that more than 90% of his net worth remains in Bitcoin. The statement was made during a recent interview with Anthony Pompliano on April 10, 2026. Hayes also shared a cautious stance on new Bitcoin purchases despite his heavy exposure.
He linked his outlook to global liquidity conditions and macroeconomic uncertainty. His comments arrive as Bitcoin trades near $75,000 with steady weekly gains.
Hayes Holds 90% of Wealth in Bitcoin
Hayes confirmed that his Bitcoin allocation has remained largely unchanged for years. He attributed this to an early entry and a very low cost basis.
This position has reduced his sensitivity to price volatility. He stated that market swings no longer influence his decisions.
“I think probably 90% of my net worth is Bitcoin,” Hayes said during the interview.
He added that he does not react to short-term movements. According to him, long-term conviction removes emotional trading behavior.
Hayes suggested that holding through cycles is easier when initial exposure is established early. He also indicated that his portfolio strategy is not driven by frequent adjustments.

Despite this heavy allocation, Hayes said he is not actively increasing his Bitcoin holdings. He explained that current macro conditions do not justify additional exposure.
He is waiting for what he described as a major “money printing” cycle. In his view, liquidity expansion from central banks typically drives stronger crypto upside.
Until then, he prefers to remain patient with fresh capital deployment.
Altcoins and Macro Outlook Shape Strategy
While Bitcoin remains his dominant holding, Hayes showed a stronger interest in select altcoins.
He identified Zcash and Hyperliquid as his preferred positions in the current market environment. He suggested these assets may offer faster returns compared to Bitcoin in the short term.
Hayes also pointed to global tensions as a key market driver. He referenced ongoing geopolitical risks, including the U.S.–Iran situation, as factors influencing capital flows.
Also, warned that investors may move toward safe-haven assets such as gold during periods of uncertainty.
He added that Bitcoin could still reach $80,000 to $90,000 if liquidity conditions improve.
However, he described the current range as less attractive for aggressive accumulation. Market direction, he said, remains closely tied to monetary policy and liquidity shifts rather than sentiment alone.
