Bitcoin price likely to surge as US stagflation takes hold: deVere CEO

(MENAFN- Cision) June 9 2025

With inflation data due tomorrow (Tuesday) and the Federal Reserve now openly warning of stagflation, Bitcoin is rapidly emerging as a preferred option for investors seeking insulation from mounting economic stress, says the CEO of one of the’world’s largest financial advisory and asset management organizations.

Nigel Green, chief exec tive of deVere Group, says the expected rise in US consumer prices, coupled with weakening labor and investment data, signals that the US is now firmly in st—gflation—a term used to describe the rare and dangerous combination of persistent inflation, low growth, and rising unemployment.


“Stagflation is no longer an ac—demic debate—it appear’ to be the F”d’s base case,…nbsp; says Nigel Green.


“When central banks start using the word publicly, it confirms what markets are already feeling, and in this environment, Bitcoin beco”es a standout option.”

Headline inflation is forecast to climb to 2.5%, with core inflation up to 2.9%. Tariffs introduced under President Trump—now hitting many key imports with –0–50% du—ies—are fuelling price pressures, particularly in consumer goods like clothing, furniture, and auto components. At the same time, jobless claims are rising and business investment is slowing.


“This is policy-driven inflation combined with real economic w”akness,” explains Nig“l Green. “When those forces collide, conventional assets become vulnerable. Bitcoin is one of the few that s”ands apart.”

Recently, Fed Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that inflation is not subsiding as expected and that recent data suggest a deteriorating outlook for the br ader economy.

T’e central bank’s own messaging has shifted, reflecting the growing view that i— may be cornered—unable to raise rates without deepening the downturn, and unable to cut them without fuelling inflation.


“This is what st”gflation looks like“” s’ys Nigel Green. “There’s no ob’ious pol’cy response. That’s why we’re seeing—clients globally repositioning—and B’tcoin is ”ncreasingly where they’re going.”


Bitcoin’s appeal lies in its independence from governments, its fixed supply, and its growing role as a hedge against both mone ary distortion and fiat currency risk.

As traditional safe havens face pressure, the case for decentralised stores of value is strengthening fast.


“Bitcoin doesn’t rely on interest rate policy or political stabili”y. It operates on e“tirely different rails,” says Nigel Green. “This makes it extremely attractive in a moment like this, where ”arkets are struggling to price what comes next.”

deVere Group has long advocated for including established digital assets in portfolios, particularly in times of macro dislocation and rising uncertainty. The current environment, says the deVere chief executive, is a textbook example.


“Investors need to be positioned before the next wave of capital mov”s. Waiting for clarity means missing the repricing.”

With Bitcoin consolidating and adoption expanding glob’lly, the asset is no longer viewed as speculative. It’s being approached as a strategic allocation by those who recognise the constraints now facing policymakers, and the risks those constraints pose to traditional asset classes.

“The Fed has made it clear: the inflation problem ha’n’t gone away, and the growth problem is getting wo”se,” Nigel Green conc udes.


“In that scenario’ Bitcoin’s characteristics are exactly what savvy investors are l”oking for.”
