Bitcoin Could Hit $300,000 by 2030, Says Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. Here's Why He's Right.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicts that Bitcoin could reach $300,000 to $400,000 by 2030. The article analyzes the necessary compound annual growth rates and historical market volatility required to reach these targets.
Why it matters
It reflects the ongoing debate regarding the long-term viability and speculative nature of cryptocurrency as an asset class.
Bitcoin ( BTC +1.31% ) rose 25% in August. That's making a lot of investors giddy about where Bitcoin could be headed next. Is the next big breakout coming soon?
Coinbase Global CEO Brian Armstrong seems to think so. Speaking recently on the Fox Business Network, he suggested that it's "very likely" Bitcoin could reach $300,000 to $400,000 by 2030.
Of course, a lot will need to go right for that to happen. For one, Bitcoin needs to maintain its upward momentum to end the year around the $100,000 price level. That will likely be enough to regain the attention of retail and institutional investors.
From there, Bitcoin would need to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.6% to triple in value to $300,000. And it would need to grow at a 41.4% CAGR to quadruple in value to $400,000.
