By 2025, Bitcoin has broken through the $100,000 mark, entering a historic new high phase. But have you imagined that by 2035, Bitcoin could reach a staggering $2 million?
This is no longer just a geek's fantasy but a super narrative that is gradually being fulfilled. From Wall Street to Capitol Hill, from on-chain data to real-world policies, all trends are quietly stacking up an astonishing future picture.
01｜Cathie Wood: $1.5 Million by 2030, Even More by 2035?
Cathie Wood, head of ARK Invest, suggested as early as 2024 that Bitcoin would reach a neutral target of $1.5 million by 2030, and if we add the tailwinds of macroeconomic conditions, institutional reforms, and technological innovations, she is not surprised by the challenge of reaching $2 million by 2035.
She pointed out that after the ETF approval, Bitcoin is officially being 'financialized', and the next step is to become one of the standard asset allocations globally.
02｜Crypto Version of 'Bretton Woods'? Sovereign Nations Will Compete for Bitcoin Reserves
In 2025, Trump once again proposed a 'Bitcoin Strategic Reserve', sparking market speculation: will Bitcoin become a component of the future sovereign currency system?
If the U.S., El Salvador, and even Middle Eastern sovereign funds all incorporate Bitcoin into their long-term treasury, this will be the strongest buying force for Bitcoin's continuous price increase.
03｜Fixed Supply, Soaring Demand: The Logic of Scarcity is Obvious
There are only 21 million Bitcoins, while there are over 56 million millionaires in the world.
In the next decade, as more high-net-worth individuals and institutional funds allocate Bitcoin, the situation of 'one coin hard to find' may become the norm. $2 million per coin may sound crazy, but the logic is extremely clear: scarcity + global consensus + unlimited issuance of fiat currency.
04｜Layer 2 Improvement, Explosion of Crypto Applications
With the maturity of the Lightning Network and Rollup technology, Bitcoin is evolving from a 'store of value' to 'functional currency'.
If in 2030 you use Bitcoin to pay for a taxi fare, mortgage, or Netflix subscription—would you still doubt its valuation basis?
05｜2035: A Realistic Yet Wild Prophecy
Assuming Bitcoin's average annual compound growth rate remains at 35%-40%, the $2 million target for 2035 is actually a mathematically 'median' prediction.
If we add factors like worsening inflation and global financial de-dollarization, this number could be even higher.
Conclusion: $2 Million is Not Just a Number, But a Cognitive Revolution
Bitcoin is not trusted because it 'will rise to $2 million', but it can rise to $2 million because it is trusted.
If we witnessed Bitcoin's rise from the margins to the center in the past decade, the next decade will be its era of reconstructing the global value network.
In 2035, at $2 million for Bitcoin, will you be a bystander or a holder?
