Bitcoin Set to Soar to $1M Earlier Than Expected, According to ARK Invest CEO
Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Invest, recently projected an ambitious future for Bitcoin (BTC), suggesting it could surpass $1 million well before the previously anticipated year of 2030, a departure from her firm's earlier projections.
This updated forecast is driven by increased institutional involvement and significant regulatory advancements, particularly highlighted by the recent approval of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.
In an interview with the New Zealand Herald on March 7, Wood emphasized the significance of these spot ETFs, indicating a pivotal moment in the broader acceptance and integration of Bitcoin into traditional financial systems.
She noted that despite the approval by the SEC and the remarkable performance of these ETFs, major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Bank of America are yet to fully embrace Bitcoin, hinting at the potential for further price surges.
With these ongoing developments and heightened interest in spot ETFs, ARK Invest has revised its outlook, considering the initial $1 million target by 2030 as overly conservative.

Wood’s optimism stems from strong ETF inflows and the potential for Bitcoin to surpass the $70,000 mark without major technical hurdles. She anticipates the cryptocurrency to achieve a market cap of $20 trillion in the years ahead, which would translate to a per-token price just under $1 million.
These projections coincide with Bitcoin’s recent rally to new all-time highs, weeks ahead of the scheduled halving expected in April. However, attempts to breach the $70,000 mark have faced notable corrections, indicating potential challenges ahead.
