BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes says that the crypto market may be gearing up for a 2022-style breakout amid fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD). In a new interview with the host of the Crypto Banter YouTube channel Ran Neuner, Hayes says central banks will likely boost money printing to address worsening macroeconomic conditions that could push Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets to much higher valuations. “I think that the setup is just perfect for a rally in risk assets, just like we saw from the third quarter of 2022 until early 2025. There’s a similar setup today. We have a lot of fear, uncertainty, doubt in the markets, and the monetary authorities, especially in America, cannot handle that, so they’re going to resort to money printing... This is all about the Treasury. [Former US Treasury Secretary] Janet Yellen printed $2.5 trillion from 2022 to 2025. Bitcoin went up 6x. [US Treasury Secretary Scott] Bessent has to do something similar. And so that’s why April 9th was the bottom, and we’re going to go much higher from here.” Hayes also predicts that the Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) metric may soon enter a downward phase after tagging the 70% level, setting alts up to outperform the flagship crypto asset. BTC.D calculates how much of the crypto market cap belongs to BTC. Bitcoin dominance currently stands at 64.81%. “I think Bitcoin dominance goes to 70%-ish. Bitcoin goes to the $150,000 level, something around there. And then we start to get the rotation into altcoins.” Bitcoin is trading for $94,030 at time of writing, down 1.8% in the last 24 hours.

Adjusted EBITDA: The company expects to achieve a positive full-year result in 2025, a significant improvement from a $3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to rigorous cost controls and a higher-margin sales mix.


Core Consumer Food Business Performance


In 2025, DDC's core consumer food business maintained strong operational performance.


The company also disclosed Core Consumer Food Business Adjusted EBITDA, a metric that further excludes costs related to its Bitcoin reserve strategy and non-cash fair value adjustments related to its Bitcoin holdings from adjusted EBITDA to more accurately reflect the core business performance.

Bitcoin Reserve Update


In the first half of 2025, DDC initiated a long-term Bitcoin accumulation strategy, holding Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.


As of December 31, 2025: The company holds 1,183 BTC.


As of February 28, 2026: Holdings increased to 2,118 BTC


Today's additional purchase of 65 BTC brings the company's total holdings to 2,183 BTC


DDC Founder, Chairman, and CEO Norma Chu stated, "We are proud to have closed 2025 with record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating the steady growth of the company's consumer food business and the ongoing improvement in profitability. We are building a disciplined, growth-oriented food platform and strategically allocating capital to Bitcoin assets with a long-term view, aligning with our core beliefs. We believe that this dual-track model of 'Steady Consumer Business + Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' will help DDC create lasting long-term value for shareholders."
