  • Markus Thielen said projections for Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2030 are mathematically impossible.
  • He said Bitcoin would need to rise about 15-fold from current levels and attract about $15 trillion in inflows over the next four years to reach $1 million.
  • Thielen said it will be harder for Bitcoin’s market capitalization to deliver the same rate of gains as in the past, adding that a new all-time high next year looks difficult and that even reaching $100,000 would be a significant achievement.

Forecast Trend Report by Period

A projection that Bitcoin could reach $1 million by 2030 is realistically impossible, according to an analysis cited by Cointelegraph on August 15.

Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, said in an interview that a $1 million Bitcoin by 2030 is “mathematically impossible.”

As of 10:40 p.m., Bitcoin was trading at $62,976, up 0.55% from a day earlier, according to CoinMarketCap. To reach $1 million, the token would need to climb more than 15-fold from its current level.

Thielen estimated that such a move would require about $15 trillion of additional inflows over the next four years. That would amount to roughly 25% of the total value of the U.S. stock market. Over the past 15 years, about $1 trillion of inflows helped lift Bitcoin’s market capitalization to around $1 trillion. Driving the price materially higher from here would require capital in the trillions of dollars.
