ARK Invest Reveals New Bitcoin Price Prediction for 2030: Up to $2,4 Million

• ARK Invest predicts Bitcoin to hit $2,4 million by 2030
• ARK forecast considers 6,5% institutional adoption
• Bitcoin is seen as “digital gold” for the future

ARK Invest disclosed a new Bitcoin price prediction for 2030, reinforcing its optimism about the digital asset. According to the manager's most recent report, BTC could reach up to US$2,4 million in the coming years, with alternative scenarios predicting values ​​of US$1,2 million (base) and US$500 thousand (conservative).

The update was presented in an analysis signed by David Puell, ARK strategist, on April 24. The manager had already revised its estimates in February, but now points to an even more ambitious scenario. The main factor behind this projection is the expectation of greater institutional adoption of Bitcoin by the end of the decade.

In the most optimistic scenario, ARK projects that Bitcoin could represent 6,5% of an estimated $200 trillion global market in investable assets. This percentage exceeds the current share of gold in institutional portfolios, reinforcing the argument that BTC can act as a “digital gold.”

Even with more modest adoption — between 1% and 2,5% —, the expectation is still for significant appreciation, according to the report. The comparison with gold remains as a reference, without considering additional expansion of the metal market.

In addition to institutional interest, ARK highlights the role of Bitcoin in emerging economies, where it serves as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. The ease of access via the internet makes the asset attractive to populations with fewer financial options.

ARK's forecast also includes the advancement of adoption by governments. Cases such as El Salvador and Bhutan, in addition to the executive order signed by Donald Trump in 2024 for the use of BTC as a reserve in the US, are considered key points in this movement.

On the corporate side, 74 publicly traded companies had already accumulated around US$55 billion in Bitcoin by the end of 2024. The manager also highlights the growth of the Lightning Network and on-chain solutions as vectors for strengthening the ecosystem.

At the time of publication, the price of Bitcoin was quoted at US$94.366,64, up 2% in the last 24 hours.
