One of Americaโs most trusted financial advisors, Ric Edelman, has made a bold prediction: Bitcoin could hit $500,000 โ and he says investors should consider putting 10โ40% of their portfolio in crypto.
๐ Why Edelman Is So Bullish on Crypto
Edelman, founder of Edelman Financial Engines and the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals (DACFP), argues that the traditional 60/40 stock-bond strategy is outdated. He recommends:
๐ง Conservative investors: 10% in crypto
๐ผ Moderate investors: 25%
๐ Aggressive investors: 40%
He believes crypto is no longer speculative but an essential asset classโjust like stocks or bonds.
๐ Why Bitcoin Could Hit $500,000
Edelmanโs Bitcoin prediction is based on simple math:
โIf just 1% of the worldโs $750 trillion in assets flows into Bitcoin, it would add $7.5 trillion to BTCโs market capโsending it to around $500,000 per coin.โ
He says this move is already starting with institutions quietly buying in, and retail investors risk missing out if they ignore it.
๐ง Crypto Exposure Isnโt Just About Buying Coins
Edelmanโs report outlines multiple ways to gain crypto exposure, including:
Buying BTC directly
Investing in ETFs or crypto stocks
Using equity proxies and passive indexes
He also urges financial advisors to educate clients and stop ignoring the crypto opportunity.
๐ฅ Reactions from the Financial World
๐ฃ Bloombergโs Eric Balchunas called this the biggest TradFi crypto endorsement since BlackRockโs Larry Fink.
๐ค Edelmanโs influence is massiveโhis firm manages $300B for 1.3M clients.
โ ๏ธ Some say Edelman should have focused only on Bitcoin, not all cryptoโbut most agree BTC is the core asset.
