The Bitcoin supporter and investor, Cathie Wood, takes the crypto market by storm after reconfirming her BTC stance, especially around its upcoming price rally. The Founder & CEO of ARK Investment appeared on a YouTube interview and presented her reasons behind this bold prediction of a 15x rally to $1.5M by 2030. Let’s discuss.
Cathie Wood is again in the media after her recent comment on Bitcoin and the price prediction. In a recent 1-hour and 41-minute video, the CEO discussed various parameters around investments, including her first-ever investment in Bitcoin, which was in the Summer of 2015 and was worth only $250.
In this YouTube discussion, the host asked, ‘You think Bitcoin will potentially multiply in value by 15 times in the next five years,’ to which she answered how the institutional adoption and its features would embark it on a journey of many milestones.
“Wow, that’d be pretty crazy. It’s a very big idea because it is a new asset class. It does represent a global monetary system unlike any other digital asset out there. Um, it is backed by the largest computer network in the world. The layer 1, which is the base layer, has not been hacked.”
Cathie Wood explained that the institutional interest in this digital asset is growing, especially after the SEC approved the Bitcoin ETF. She also pointed out that such institutes manage trillions, but there’s only $100B worth of Bitcoin remains unmined, explaining that this could create a high demand amid slow supply.
Besides, she also pointed out the rising demand for Bitcoin as a store of value and the increasing adoption due to poor monetary policies, before reaffirming her $1.5M prediction, which is 15 times the current price.
Although Wood also acknowledges Bitcoin’s volatility, she believes it would appreciate over time, making it a perfect long-term investment despite short-term fluctuations.
Interestingly, some experts even anticipate a $23M target for BTC in the next few years, showcasing similar optimism. The Corporate Bitcoin buyer MicroStrategy founder, Michael Saylor, also forecasts it hitting $13M a coin in 2045, with a 30% annual average return.
Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, JP Morgan, and the institutions also see Bitcoin price hitting new highs in the upcoming years. However, a few other experts have a slightly different take based on their personal analysis, especially as BTC price runs on a 4-year cycle and its return diminishes every year compared to the last cycle. So, expecting such a huge rally in a small timeframe is unlikely.
Ansem, a prominent crypto analyst, also has a bullish take for BTC, but their forecast limits the rally to $500k by 2030 despite considering similar factors. Meanwhile, others only see it at $360k or even $150k by then. For now, the biggest resistance for Bitcoin is $107k.
Despite these differences, it is certain that investors see this digital asset as continuing to grow in the future.
Amid unclear future conditions, different regulatory stances, and even market uncertainty, it makes it really difficult to conclude whether Bitcoin would attain such highs or not. However, considering BTC’s performance since its launch, it is clear that it’s among the most bullish assets, and it has gained multiple milestones. So, the further trajectory could be the same.
However, a five-year span brings a lot of uncertainty, so investors must research properly before jumping into trade, as every analyst, including Cathie Wood, has different predictions for BTC.
