Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes has once again stirred the discussion about Bitcoin’s future. According to him, BTC could reach the $1 million mark within just three years, driven by major global macroeconomic shifts and tightening capital controls.
Two Key Catalysts Behind Bitcoin’s Potential Surge
Hayes identifies two major forces that could push Bitcoin into seven-digit territory:
Repatriation of foreign capital
Devaluation of U.S. Treasury bonds
“These two forces will drive Bitcoin to $1 million by 2028,” Hayes wrote in a new blog post published on May 15. As traditional assets become less reliable, Bitcoin, in his view, will emerge as the ultimate safe haven.
U.S. Elections as a Tipping Point
Why 2028? Hayes believes the next U.S. presidential election could trigger significant changes in economic policy, with ripple effects across financial markets.
“A new administration could dramatically shift the financial landscape. Everything depends on who wins and what policies they implement,” he wrote.
Harsh Words for Europe: “Take Your Money Out”
Hayes also criticized the European Union for its tightening grip on financial freedoms, suggesting that some EU governments are heading toward a form of digital centralization and monetary control.
“Even China didn’t ban private Bitcoin ownership because they know it doesn’t work,” he said. “European governments are less efficient than China, but they’ll try anyway. So take your money out now.”
Million-Dollar Bitcoin Forecasts Gain Momentum
Hayes is far from alone in predicting massive upside for Bitcoin in the coming years. Others include:
Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy, who believes Bitcoin’s total market cap could reach $10 trillion
Fidelity Investments, which sees million-dollar price targets as realistic
Hayes himself, stating: “My forecast for 2045 is $13 million per Bitcoin.”
Conclusion: Is the $1 Million Dream Realistic?
While some view these forecasts as overly optimistic, Hayes argues that current trends in regulation, sovereign debt, and declining trust in traditional financial systems are laying the groundwork for a massive shift toward Bitcoin.
Whether or not BTC reaches $1 million by 2028, Hayes’s message is clear: the global financial system is changing — and Bitcoin could be the biggest beneficiary.
