Analysts predict Bitcoin could top $1.5M by 2030, fueled by inflation fears, macro risks, and rising institutional demand.
Some of the most prominent financial commentators and investment analysts anticipate a long-term Bitcoin rally that could propel the asset’s price above $1 million by the decade’s end.
This rally is being driven by increasing inflation and global debt.
In her firm’s “Bull Case” forecast, ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $1.5 million by 2030.
Wood stated in a video released on February 11 that the price would necessitate a compound annual growth rate of 58% for BTC over the next five years, primarily due to institutions’ increased adoption of cryptocurrency.
A more modest Bitcoin price of $1 million by 2035 was predicted by Robert Kiyosaki, a renowned financial educator and the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
In an April 18 X post, Kiyosaki expressed his conviction that by 2035, the value of one Bitcoin will surpass $1 million, gold will be $30,000, and silver will be $3,000 per coin.
He attributed this to the record US federal and credit card debt in 2025, the primary impetus for the emergence of safe-haven assets like precious metals and Bitcoin.
According to Kiyosaki, the “biggest stock market crash in history” may result from the increasing fiscal debt.
Investors could become “very wealthy” if they hedged their risks by investing in “just one Bitcoin, or some gold, or silver.”
Other analysts, such as Raoul Pal, have identified fiat currency debasement as a significant factor in Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge.
Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump Organization and the son of US President Donald Trump, also predicted in December 2024 that Bitcoin would reach $1 million.
He cited the potential of the cryptocurrency to “transform the global economy in beautiful ways.”
Analysts Anticipate That $200,000 Will Be Achieved In 2025
Markus Thielen, the CEO and director of Research at 10x Research, has stated that Bitcoin’s price action has historically fluctuated by $16,000.
During the Chain Reaction daily X spaces broadcast on May 22, Thielen informed Cointelegraph that Bitcoin’s next significant resistance is near $122,000, as indicated by the most recent price action. He also added:
“We have been quite bullish over the last five or six weeks. We have been bearish coming out of the Trump inauguration in February, but we turned quite bullish.”
Thielen stated, “Open interest is high, but the funding rate is low, which suggests that people are attempting to short this rally.” To affirm the continuation of Bitcoin’s rally, the next significant price target is $122,000.
André Dragosch, Bitwise’s director of European Research, has predicted that Bitcoin may continue its upward trajectory to a price peak of more than $200,000 by the conclusion of 2025.
“Greg Foss, a Canadian Bitcoiner, has proposed a model that can determine the value of Bitcoin by comparing it to a collection of G20 sovereign bonds,” Dragosch stated.
“Based on today’s default probability across all these G20 sovereign bonds, it’s already above $200,000 for Bitcoin.”
He further stated that the increasing apprehensions regarding sovereign credit risk and institutional inflows could trigger the next rally in Bitcoin.
