What happens if Bitcoin reaches $1 million?
Main Idea
The article explores the possibility of Bitcoin reaching $1 million by 2025, discussing key drivers like ETFs, regulatory support, and adoption, while also addressing potential risks such as quantum computing threats.
Key Points
1. Spot Bitcoin ETFs, like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF, contributed significantly to Bitcoin's growth, with $14.8 billion in net inflows by mid-2025.
2. US President Donald Trump’s executive order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March 2025, holding 200,000 BTC, signaled strong institutional support.
3. Achieving a $1 million Bitcoin price would require a market cap exceeding $21 trillion, widespread global adoption (20%-40% of the world’s population), and advancements in infrastructure and regulation.
4. Clear regulatory frameworks, such as the GENIUS Act and the Clarity Act in 2025, have facilitated broader Bitcoin adoption and institutional investment.
5. Quantum computing poses a significant risk to Bitcoin’s security, with 4 million BTC (25% of usable supply) stored in addresses vulnerable to quantum attacks, prompting the development of post-quantum cryptography solutions.
Description
A $1-million Bitcoin would upend global finance, reshaping wealth, inflation, energy markets and the very role of fiat currencies.
