Abra's CEO purportedly increased his holdings prior to Bitcoin touching new 2020 highs.
The co-founder and CEO of major cryptocurrency company Abra is clearly bullish on Bitcoin.
In an Oct. 23 tweet, Bill Barhydt, CEO of peer-to-peer payments platform Abra, claimed that he has significantly increased his Bitcoin holdings a few weeks ago.
According to the CEO, Bitcoin now accounts for 50% of his total investment portfolio.
"As the minting of new Bitcoin approaches zero in the coming years, its value versus fiat will continue to skyrocket in my opinion," Barhydt said.
"Cash, or government-printed money also called fiat, is actually becoming worthless, while Bitcoin's value remains constant. There will never be less fiat printed than is now. Cash is only going to get more and more worthless."
Barhydt is known as one of the most prominent Bitcoin bulls.
Previously, Barhydt called Bitcoin a store of value comparable to gold.
On Oct. 22, Bitcoin price recorded its new 2020 high of $13,217 in the aftermath of PayPal enabling cryptocurrency purchases.
Subsequently, famous Wall Street investor and billionaire Paul Tudor Jones praised Bitcoin on CNBC's Squawk Box morning show, stating that he likes Bitcoin "Even more than I did then." The billionaire investor also claimed that holds a "Small single-digit investment" in Bitcoin.
