Seven weeks later, that call seems to have turned into a scorecard, given that the crypto asset has gained over $24,000 in 49 days (while also adding $475 billion in market capitalization).<\/p>\n<h2>Checking the Math<\/h2>\n<p>The numbers square up neatly, as Aug. 3 saw BTC close at $63,520. Subsequently, bitcoin\u2019s price hit an <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-rips-to-87k-and-suddenly-90k-is-back-in-the-conversation\/\">intraday high of $87,395<\/a> yesterday, which is a 37.6% gain from that close.<\/p>\n<p>And even though prices have slipped back to around $85,500 earlier today, it still leaves the rally near 35% from Cramer\u2019s sell call. In any case, the surge did not come quietly, as <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WatcherGuru\/status\/2102206649188458932\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">over $1 billion was liquidated<\/a> across crypto derivatives on Sept. 21, with shorts accounting for roughly $850 million of it. Bitcoin.com News also tracked a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/massive-short-squeeze-sends-bitcoin-price-above-86000\/\">massive short squeeze<\/a> that sent bitcoin past $86,000.<\/p>\n<p>That said, nobody actually knows how much bitcoin Cramer owned to begin with or if he sold anything at the time of Krishna\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<h2>Why \u201cInverse Cramer\u201d Keeps Getting Airtime<\/h2>\n<p>This was not the CNBC staple\u2019s first bearish call of the summer, as on June 10, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/jimcramer\/status\/2064707118452609256\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">he posted the following message on X<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cBitcoin and gold\u2013bad money, being liquidated for SpaceX.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bitcoin closed that day at $61,511 and is now trading roughly 40% higher.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, various media desks have catalogued a list of his misses over the years, from calling bitcoin \u201cmonopoly money\u201d in December 2017 to \u201cselling\u201d most of his holdings in June 2021 over China\u2019s crackdown, and warning of a \u201cnasty\u201d selloff after spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launched in January 2024.<\/p>\n<p>That said, correlation is not causation, and the ongoing rally has had real drivers behind it, including forced short covering and a return of risk appetite (as oil prices and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoTweets\/status\/2102138180929552635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Treasury yields have eased<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h2>What the Quantum Clock Still Says<\/h2>\n<p>The rally settles the trade, not the argument as a whole, and Krishna\u2019s window of <a href=\"https:\/\/invezz.com\/news\/2026\/08\/03\/jim-cramer-to-sell-all-his-bitcoin-over-quantum-computing-fears\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three to four years points<\/a> to roughly 2029 or 2030 still exists (and that timeline has not changed because bitcoin gained $24,000 over the past few weeks). However, holders who share Cramer\u2019s concern still have time to weigh in on potential upgrades and custody changes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose my-3 lg:my-4\"><a aria-label=\"Read Now: Bitcoin
