Jeremy Grantham Clashes With CNBC Over Bitcoin After 40% Annual Drop

Summary
Jeremy Grantham turned unusually confrontational in a CNBC appearance centered on bitcoin, a rare tone from the veteran investor known for diagnosing market excesses.
Bitcoin’s 40% fall over the past year framed the exchange, with the cryptocurrency now deeply out of favor and giving fresh ammunition to long-standing skeptics such as Grantham.
CNBC anchor Joe Kernan pressed Grantham rather than giving him an easy platform, sharpening the on-air clash over whether bitcoin’s slump validates bearish views.
The episode underscored how bitcoin’s prolonged decline has moved debate from hype to accountability, drawing more combative scrutiny on mainstream financial television.
