Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Predicts $1M Bitcoin by 2030 Amid Growing Institutional Optimism
Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, has projected that bitcoin (BTC) could soar to $1 million per coin by 2030, aligning with other prominent crypto advocates forecasting substantial long-term growth.
“I think we’ll see $1 million per bitcoin by 2030,” Armstrong posted on X while promoting his appearance on the Cheeky Pint podcast. The rare public price prediction from Armstrong adds to a growing list of ultra-bullish forecasts from major figures in the crypto space.
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has made similar comments, stating BTC could reach $1 million by the end of the decade and potentially rise even further. Meanwhile, Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood recently updated her firm’s decade-end bitcoin price target to as high as $3.8 million, citing accelerating institutional adoption as a core catalyst.
These optimistic projections come amid bitcoin’s robust performance this year. BTC has surged 22% year-to-date, recently hitting an all-time high above $124,000 before pulling back to trade around $114,383.
The rising price has reignited discussions around bitcoin’s role as a digital store of value, with many viewing it as a potential inflation hedge and alternative to gold.
Adding to the momentum, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci said in a CNBC interview on Aug. 19 that bitcoin could reach $180,000 to $200,000 within the next five months — and hinted that even that estimate may fall short of its actual potential.
