In a Front Office Sports interview, Cuban said Bitcoin 'has lost the plot' and revealed he had sold most of his Bitcoin, saying 'It's not the hedge that I expected it to be' after gold spiked to ~$5,000 during the US-Iran conflict while BTC fell — a bearish/disappointed regime statement.
“Every time the dollar dropped, Bitcoin should've gone up. It's not the hedge I expected it to be.”
Bearish/disappointed call at $77,548 was vindicated — BTC fell to a $58,000 low and sits at $58,161 (~25% decline) within the window.

Asked how high Bitcoin could go, Cuban said it would be 'way higher than you think,' attributing the upside to Bitcoin's role as a global safe-haven / scarce store of value amid dollar and geopolitical uncertainty. No specific dollar target was given.
“Bitcoin will be way higher than expectations”
'Way higher' delivered: from $64,086 BTC nearly doubled to $126,296.

Responding to Preston Pysh, Cuban tweeted that Bitcoin is not, and never will be, a hedge against inflation, dismissing the inflation-hedge framing as a 'marketing slogan' just like it is for gold.
“You still think btc is an inflation hedge ? It's not and never will be.”
Over the observed window BTC failed as an inflation hedge: from $42,753 amid 2022 inflation it crashed to $15,460 rather than holding value.

Tongue-in-cheek tweet that he would run for President of the United States if Bitcoin hit $1 million, proposing to donate BTC to the Treasury to distribute satoshis to citizens. Effectively framed an aspirational $1M BTC milestone.
“Mark Cuban said he would run for the office of the president of the United States if Bitcoin hits $1 million”
