Bitcoin to $1.5M? Cathie Wood’s Bold 2030 Prediction Unveiled

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood just dropped a bombshell Bitcoin price target that would make even gold bugs sweat. Her $1.5 million per BTC forecast for 2030 hinges on institutional adoption accelerating—assuming Wall Street doesn’t screw it up first.

Considering the volatile nature of the market, the above-mentioned prediction isn’t all that surprising. She pointed out that several factors will add to the foundation of the king coin. As more investors start to see cryptocurrencies as a store of wealth, Cathie Wood discusses the asset’s potential to either entice the Gold market or take some of its market share.

It should be noted that Wood’s Ark Invest has been purchasing bitcoin for a while now. More recently, the firm made $58 million in Bitcoin investments through its ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF.
