Financial analysts and executives continue to debate long-term Bitcoin price targets. Proponents like MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor suggest aggressive growth, with theoretical projections exceeding $11 million by 2046. Other institutions have offered varying outlooks, such as ARK Invest’s $1.5 million target for 2030 and Bernstein’s near-term target of $150,000. VanEck has also projected Bitcoin could reach $500,000 by 2029 and $2.9 million by 2050. Contrasting these views, Markus Thielen of 10x Research maintains that a $1 million valuation by 2030 is ‘mathematically impossible’.
