Arthur Hayes warned that equity dilution from AI-related capital spending could tighten dollar liquidity and weigh on Bitcoin in the near term. The Maelstrom chief investment officer argued that heavy AI issuance absorbs capital that might otherwise flow into risk assets, creating short-term pressure on BTC while presenting longer-term buying opportunities. The warning comes as Bitcoin trades near record highs, with the article tying its outlook to dollar liquidity conditions rather than any specific price level. Investors should watch AI-related equity issuance and broader dollar funding conditions as potential headwinds for crypto risk appetite.
