Ark Invest, in its 2026 "Big Ideas" report, stated that Bitcoin's market capitalization is expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, implying a price of $797,000 per Bitcoin, representing a potential gain of 920% from current levels. This forecast is primarily based on two major catalysts: institutional investment (global fund managers allocating 2.5% of their assets to Bitcoin) and Bitcoin capturing market share from gold as "digital gold."
