Max Keizer is one of the crypto industry’s numbers, and is not limited to predictions or cruelty when it comes to expressing your opinion. And it’s not like that method didn’t work for him because he was one of those people who wanted the advantage of Bitcoin when the major cryptocurrencies were worth a dollar.
Now, Keizer has returned with another huge number in BTC. This time the target is set at $2,200,000. Literally, X10 from his long-standing trademark $220,000 BTC forecast.
He links the new seven-figure forecast directly to what he saw as the US runaway interest bill. There, borrowing costs are rising very quickly, restructuring government spending priorities in real time.
Bitcoin vs data
The US has already burned $1 trillion in interest payments over the first 10 months of fiscal 2025, according to new data. This is the highest level ever seen at this point, and is increasing the pace of over $1.2 trillion in annual payments, the first time in history.
The 2025 chart gradient tells the story in words. It’s almost unnecessary in words. For Keizer, the results are simple.
They want to lower the fees so that this can be increased to $5 trillion.

He believes policymakers will ultimately be forced to cut fees to allow more borrowing. In doing so, they create a kind of financial expansion that Bitcoin is designed to protect. According to Keizer, all increases in the debt bill are the reason why it is a discussion of the limited supply of Bitcoin.
The numbers are shocking, but the basis is clear. Balance sheet and interest payments. The larger the bill, the more clear the reason why the BTC ceiling will be.
