Cathie Wood, the CEO of asset management firm Ark Invest, has backed Bitcoin (BTC) to achieve a $1.5 million price point by 2030. The American investor and cryptocurrency advocate has based this projection on multiple factors, including rising institutional investment and global recognition of Bitcoin’s ability to serve as a store of value.

The Building Blocks To Bitcoin Glory

In a recent interview with CNBC, Cathie Wood shared Ark Invest’s future projections for BTC as prepared by the company’s market analyst, David Puell. In a base case scenario, Wood explains that Ark Invest predicts Bitcoin to hit a price target of $700,000 – $750,000 by 2030, with the potential to trade as $1.5 million in a bull case. According to the BTC proponent, these figures are plausible based on certain factors likely to serve as the building blocks to Bitcoin’s dominance. Firstly, Cathie Wood talks about the asset’s potential to seize some portions of the gold market share or attract its market as more investors begin to view the cryptocurrency as a store of value. Notably, Bitcoin has gained more credibility and recognition in recent years following investments from traditional financial institutions and regulatory policy focus by governments across the world. In the US, this focus has resulted in multiple developments, with the launch of the US BTC Spot ETFs being the most significant. Despite being in existence for only 17 years, Bitcoin ranks as the sixth most valuable asset, ahead of commodities like silver and companies such as Saudi Aramco, Meta, and Tesla, among others. Furthermore, Cathie Wood emphasizes that institutional investment and adoption of BTC are still in the early stages. It is expected that the creation of a federal regulatory crypto framework and the continuous removal of operational bottlenecks under the Donald Trump Administration would spur an institutional embrace of Bitcoin due to not only its potential as a haven but also the possibility of significant returns due to the crypto market volatility.

1 Million BTC Remains Untouched

In supporting Ark Invest’s audacious Bitcoin prediction, Cathie Wood also highlights the fact that there are still over 1 million Bitcoin tokens yet to be minted. This indicates that there is still an adequate market supply to match the expected institutional demand.

Finally, the Ark Invest CEO mentions the emerging market use cases of BTC, such as a tool for inflation hedge, cross-border transactions, and activist donations, amongst others as part of the value drivers of this asset. 

At the time of writing, the premier cryptocurrency is trading at $103,312, reflecting a 22.62% gain in the last month.
