Bitcoin $1 million? Coin Telegraph asks the question. I’ve summarized:
Bitcoin has hit record highs few expected. Key drivers include the launch of spot ETFs in 2024, with BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust attracting $1.3bn in two days, and U.S. President Trump’s March 2025 order creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve of 200,000 BTC. Optimism peaked at “Crypto Week” in July, when Bitcoin touched $123,166.
Is $1 million Bitcoin possible?
Several factors suggest it is possible, though challenging:
-
Limited supply: Capped at 21m coins, Bitcoin’s scarcity mirrors gold.
-
Institutional inflows: Large players legitimise Bitcoin and boost demand.
-
Adoption potential: 6.8% of the world already owns crypto, with strong growth ahead.
-
FOMO: Surveys show most investors buy Bitcoin expecting profits, fuelling momentum.
Prominent bulls include Cathie Wood (sees $1.5m by 2030), Michael Saylor (targets $1m if Wall Street holds 10% in BTC), and Robert Kiyosaki (forecasts $1m by 2030 as inflation hedge).
What it would take
-
Institutional investment: Market cap must exceed $21tn, surpassing gold
Could Bitcoin hit US$1mn. Yes. Here’s what it would take. 4 key requirements.
