VanEck CEO Jan van Eck has made an ambitious forecast for Bitcoin, suggesting that BTC could mature to capture half of gold's total market capitalization.
He indicated that this would equate to a Bitcoin price of approximately $350,000, representing a substantial increase from current values.
He believes that Bitcoin is on an upward trajectory and could eventually reflect half of gold’s market cap, highlighting its potential for long-term growth.
As a leader in crypto and gold investments, van Eck sees Bitcoin increasingly being viewed as a store of value similar to gold, especially as central banks adjust their monetary policies. He noted that the Federal Reserve’s potential easing of the economy could benefit both Bitcoin and gold.
Additionally, he hinted at a more optimistic scenario where the integration of Bitcoin into the global monetary system by central banks could push its value into the millions.
While acknowledging the significant uncertainties surrounding such predictions, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. He emphasized the importance of a diversified investment portfolio and advised investors to stay hopeful about Bitcoin’s future while being aware of its volatility.
Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), has hinted at another major Bitcoin purchase after a brief pause in acquisitions.
El Salvador’s regular Bitcoin buying activity seems to have stalled, with the latest recorded purchase from the country’s wallet on February 17, according to Arkham Intelligence.
A well-known crypto strategist who has a history of making accurate Bitcoin predictions is confident that BTC will hit a new all-time high in the coming months.
Research from investment firm VanEck suggests that while the U.S. government is debating a potential Bitcoin reserve, 21 states are already moving forward with plans to acquire Bitcoin.
