A recent model predicting Bitcoin’s price indicates that by 2035, the leading cryptocurrency could reach a staggering $1.42 million per coin. This represents an increase of over 1,500% from its current trading value and potentially even surpasses that figure.
The probability-weighted analysis conducted by analysts Gabriel Selby and Mark Pilipczuk at CF Benchmarks, a subsidiary of Kraken, suggests that Bitcoin might capture approximately 33% of gold’s market capitalization. This projection corresponds to an anticipated annual return rate of 30.1%.
According to the report, “As institutional involvement grows stronger, we can expect ongoing reductions in volatility. Additionally, Bitcoin’s vulnerability to monetary devaluation will likely maintain low correlations with most major asset classes—thereby improving portfolio diversification.”
The report further emphasizes that enhanced regulatory clarity alongside increased institutional acceptance and liquidity will bolster the asset’s attractiveness for investors.
While the base case anticipates a remarkable gain exceeding 1,500% over the next decade, their optimistic scenario for 2035 posits that BTC could soar as high as $2.95 million per coin.
In this optimistic outlook, analysts envision Bitcoin becoming the primary global store of value due to growing adoption by institutions and sovereign entities. Conversely, their pessimistic view aligns with historical trends—suggesting a mere capture of 16% of gold’s market cap would lead to a target price around $637,000 by 2035.
Although these projections may appear ambitious at first glance, other advocates for Bitcoin have also forecasted similarly impressive figures in the near future.
<p Prominent tech investor Cathie Wood predicts BTC could reach $1.2 million by 2030; however this estimate has been revised downwards from her earlier prediction of $1.5 million due to swift stablecoin adoption trends. Ark Invest—a firm led by Wood—previously identified potential pathways leading up to $2.4 million within the same timeframe in their "Big Ideas" report released earlier this year.
Michael Saylor has recently stated his belief that Bitcoin will achieve prices around $1 million per coin within four to eight years’ time frame; looking even further ahead he envisions it climbing towards an astonishing $20 million based on projected annual growth rates averaging around 30% over two decades.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has also expressed expectations for multi-million dollar valuations concerning Bitcoin in future markets as well.
