New study forecasts $1M Bitcoin price by 2027
Long-term projection sees $5M by 2031
Prediction depends on sustained current demand
A new academic paper has stirred excitement across the crypto space, suggesting that Bitcoin’s price could reach $1 million as early as 2027 — and skyrocket to $5 million by 2031. This bold forecast is based on one major condition: current levels of demand must remain steady or grow.
The research highlights how Bitcoin’s limited supply, combined with increasing adoption and macroeconomic factors like inflation and institutional investment, could drive exponential price growth. With only 21 million Bitcoins ever to be mined, scarcity continues to be a driving force behind its potential long-term value.
Demand Remains the Key Driver
The study emphasizes that demand is the most crucial factor in this equation. Over the last few years, Bitcoin has seen rising interest from hedge funds, corporations, and even governments exploring Bitcoin as a treasury asset.
If this trend continues, the researchers argue, Bitcoin could become a widely accepted store of value, on par with or even surpassing gold. This shift could push Bitcoin’s market cap into the tens of trillions, supporting the multi-million-dollar price targets.
However, the prediction also includes a cautionary note: should demand falter due to regulatory crackdowns, technological shifts, or a change in market sentiment, these targets could become unrealistic.

Why These Numbers Matter
These projections offer more than just headline-worthy figures — they suggest that Bitcoin may still be significantly undervalued if the outlined scenarios unfold. For long-term investors and institutions considering Bitcoin, this research could reinforce bullish outlooks.
Of course, crypto markets remain volatile and unpredictable. While the data-based approach of this research adds credibility, no forecast is guaranteed. Still, it underscores a growing belief among academics and analysts that Bitcoin has only just begun its long-term trajectory.
