Will Bitcoin ever reach $200,000?
Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick believes Bitcoin could hit $200,000 by the end of 2025. The SEC's recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the impending halving event could materially boost demand for Bitcoin.
With bitcoin hitting new highs, it'll likely reach the US$100,000 milestone before 2024 is out.
A recent report predicts that Bitcoin will reach a new all-time high in 2024. Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to reach a new record of $88,000 (€82,000) throughout the year, before it settles around $77,000 at the end of 2024, according to a new report. The cryptocurrency's current price sits at around $43,000.
According to Geoff Kendrick, the head of FX research, west and digital assets research at Standard Chartered Bank, Bitcoin's price could potentially surge to approximately US$250,000 by 2025 if the current trend of inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues.
Tether co-founder William Quigley said Bitcoin could potentially surge to $300,000 at the peak of the current bull market, based on historical patterns of past halvings. He shared the insight during an interview with CNBC, where he discussed the market conditions influencing Bitcoin as the halving approaches.

| Year | Minimum Price | Maximum Price |
|---|---|---|
| 2032 | $1,750,882.89 | $2,133,236.66 |
| 2033 | $2,476,675.31 | $3,009,208.05 |
| 2040 | $3,875,790.38 | $4,440,474.91 |

Fidelity Predicts: $1B per 1 BTC by 2038 — 2040
Jurrien Timmer, the Director of Global Macro at Fidelity Investments, thinks the value of a single Bitcoin could reach $1 billion by the year 2038 — very close to our Bitcoin price prediction 2040 target date. Timmer's demand model is rooted in Metcalfe's Law.
In its 2023 Big Ideas report, Ark Invest laid out several price targets for Bitcoin. The report sees Bitcoin hitting price targets in 2030 of $257,500 in the bearish forecast, $682,000 in an average market and $1.48 million in a bullish market.
We predict that Bitcoin will hold an average price of $60,000 in 2024, thanks to the Halving event, and settle more in 2025 with an average of $65,000. In 2026, we see Bitcoin trading as high as $90,000 by the end of the year. By 2030, we predict that Bitcoin could reach a high of $160,000.
Can Bitcoin reach $10 million?
Analysts recently detailed a $10 million bitcoin price prediction from Tom Lee of Fundstrat Global Advisors. A resurfaced projection by Tom Lee, managing partner and head of research for Fundstrat Global Advisors, indicates that the bitcoin price can reach as high as $10 million within decades.
The price of bitcoin could soar to $500,000 in the next five years, according to Fundstrat's Tom Lee. The potential approval of bitcoin ETFs could lead to a demand boom for the crypto, he said. "There's a finite supply and now we have a potentially huge increase in demand with a spot bitcoin [ETF] approval."
10 Years of Decentralizing the Future
ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood said on CNBC Thursday that bitcoin (BTC), the world's largest cryptocurrency by market value, could reach $1,500,000 in price by 2030 in a bullish scenario, raising her estimate by 50% from a previous prediction of $1 million.
Bitcoin spiked to start the final week of March, reclaiming the $70,000 level. The price of the flagship cryptocurrency was last higher by 7.8% at $70,995.48, according to Coin Metrics. It briefly rose to $71,239.31 in late afternoon trading as the stock market closed. Ether jumped 7.4% to $3,634.80.
The maximum total supply of Bitcoin is 21 million. The number of Bitcoins issued will likely never reach 21 million due to the use of rounding operators in the Bitcoin codebase. No additional bitcoins will be generated when the Bitcoin supply reaches its upper limit.
There are expected to be 64 Bitcoin halvings before the 21 million cap is reached sometime around 2140, at which point halvings will cease and the blockchain will stop issuing new tokens. When that happens, Bitcoin miners will have to rely on transaction fees, their other revenue source besides mining rewards.
There are 88,200 crypto millionaires worldwide. 40,500 of these millionaires have amassed their fortune in Bitcoin (BTC). The number of global crypto owners reached 580 million by the end of 2023, according to Crypto.com.
It is theoretically possible. Bitcoin has been around for close to 15 years now, and although it has survived several dramatic crashes before making new highs, its extreme volatile nature puts investors at risk of losing all their money.
By 2040, Bitcoin could surpass $1 million and reach a high point of $1.16 million, which would be a +2,275% increase compared to today's prices. Going further, BTC is expected to break the $1.4 million mark by 2050.
While purchasing 0.01 Bitcoin (BTC) might cost only $500 today, current trends in global wealth distribution and the inevitable realization of Bitcoin's limited supply could result in 0.01 BTC being worth $1 million in the future.
What will Dogecoin be worth in 2050?
CoinMarketCap analysts expect Dogecoin to remain a major player in the cryptocurrency market for years to come and foresee that its price could reach up to $4,423 by 2050. According to CoinCodex analysts, the DOGE price would be $1.61 in 2050, assuming the S&P 500's average yearly growth rate of 11.8%.
Who owns the most Bitcoin in the world? The top Bitcoin holder is still believed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin, who reportedly holds around 1.1 million BTC across many wallets. Despite this large holding, the top 10 holders collectively only possess about 5.5% of the total Bitcoin supply.
However, some estimates can be made based on blockchain data and surveys of Bitcoin holders. According to data from Bitinfocharts, as of March 2023, there are approximately 827,000 addresses that hold 1 bitcoin or more, representing around 4.5% of all addresses on the Bitcoin network.
Bitcoin (BTC) moved back above 60,000 against the US dollar (USD) yesterday and looks set to challenge the all-time high of just under 70,000 over the next few days.
Historically, long-term Bitcoin investors have been rewarded for their patience, riding out significant price fluctuations to see considerable profits. If you originally invested because you believed in Bitcoin's long-term value, then selling during a downturn may contradict your original investment strategy.
