Editor's Note:

At the beginning of the year, Bitcoin's "dead bulls" and Cathie Wood's Ark Invest released the Big Ideas 2025 report, mentioning three price targets for Bitcoin in 2030: $300$300,000 000(market), $710,000 benchmark market),.5 million (bull market). At that time, it was just "simply shouting" a price far beyond market expectations (like Plan B's madnessness), without disclosing the actual estimation process.

Two months later, Ark Invest finally published its modeling method and logical assumptions for Bitcoin's in 2030 target the model predicting's price in 2023 through its total addressable market (TAM) and penetration rate (popularity or market share).

Even more inspiring (exaggerated) is that under Ark Invest's calculation based on Bitcoin's active supply indicators, Bitcoin's 2030 prices are be respectively: $500,000 (bear market),.), 2 million (benchmark market and) and $2 million (bull market). If any of these TAM or penetration rates do not meet expectations, Bitcoin may not reach these price targets.. So the model also has some risks and biases. The following are the specific details of Bitcoin's price prediction, compiled byAily.

Price Targets and Assumptions

Our price target is the sum of TAM (Total Addressable Market) contributions by the end of 2030, based on the following formula:

Odaily Note: This formula predicts Bitcoin's 2030 price by quantifying the dynamic relationship between market demand and Bitcoin circulation. It calculates Bitcoin's price by multiplying the maximum dollar benchmark demand scale of each market segment by Bitcoin's penetration rate in that market, and divdividing by Bitcoin's circulation supply, then summing the prices of all market segments to obtain Bitcoin's predicted price in2030.

4. Potential Contributors to Capital Accumulation: National Treasury

Although Although El Salvador and Bhutan currently lead global Bitcoin adoption at the national level, advocates for Bitcoin strategic reserves are increasingly growing—especially Trump took office and issued an executive order on March 6 requiring the establishment of BTC reserves in the United States. Although our bear market and baseline assumptions are relatively conservative, we believe that the situation in the United States might further validate our bull market assumption of 7% penetration.

5. Potential Contributors to Capital Accumulation: Corporate Bonds

Inspired by MicroStrategy's successful Bitcoin purchase since 2020, other companies have also begun begun incorporating Bitcoin into their corporate treasury reserves. By the end024of 024, 74 listed companies hold approximately $55 billion in Bitcoin on their balance sheets. balance If these companies' BTC strategies prove successful in the next six years, our conservative penetration rate assumptions in bear and baseline scenarios (1%.5% respectively) may ultimately approach the 10% in the market scenario. 4. h>potential Contributors to Bitcoin On-Chain Financial Services

Bitcoin's financial services are as new contributors to capital accumulation. examples Layer 2 services like Lightning Network focusing on expanding Bitcoin's's transaction capacity,, BTC on the Ethereum network enables Bitcoin to participate participate in decentralized finance. Such on-chain financial services are increasingly important features in the Bitcoin ecosystem. Therefore, we believe that from now to 2030, the baseline market's 40% compound annual growth rate is expected based on realistic conditions.
