Jack Mallers, CEO of the Bitcoin wallet and payments platform Strike, has shared his bold vision for the future of Bitcoin, stating that its market cap could increase by trillions of dollars.
In an interview with Anthony Pompliano at Bitcoin Investor Week in New York, Mallers explained that Bitcoin is uniquely positioned as a store of value asset, capable of competing with traditional assets such as real estate, art, and precious metals, which are currently used by people to store wealth.
Mallers highlighted that humans currently own around $900 trillion in assets—comprising currencies, real estate, art, collectibles, and precious metals like gold. He emphasized that a significant portion of these assets, about $400 trillion to $500 trillion, is not being held for consumption or personal use, but rather as a means of preserving value.
This represents a massive market opportunity for assets that can function as stores of wealth, and Mallers believes Bitcoin is poised to capture a substantial share of that market.
Bitcoin’s current market cap stands at around $1.5 trillion, and Mallers believes the cryptocurrency is still in the early stages of this transformation.
He predicts that Bitcoin could experience a 400x to 500x increase in value, positioning it to reach a market cap in the hundreds of trillions of dollars. This ambitious projection underscores Mallers’ confidence in Bitcoin’s potential to become a dominant force in global wealth preservation.
