While Bitcoin continues to experience significant fluctuations in the short term, there is consensus on its long-term bullish outlook.
While seven-figure numbers are among the estimates at this point, the latest forecast comes from VanEck.
Global asset manager VanEck has predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $2.9 million by 2050 in the long term.
In a recent report, VanEck analysts Matthew Sigel and Patrick Bush predicted that Bitcoin could account for 5-10% of global trade and 2.5% of central bank reserves by 2050.
According to analysts, Bitcoin could thus strengthen its strategic role as a monetary hedge.
“Bitcoin is not a tactical asset; it functions as a long-term hedge against the negative consequences of a monetary regime.”
Assuming Bitcoin provides an average annual return of 15% over the next 25 years, it could account for 5-10% of global trade payments and approximately 2.5% of central bank reserve assets by 2050.
This could strengthen Bitcoin’s role and drive up its price.”
VanEck’s base scenario predicts a price of $2.9 million, while the pessimistic scenario forecasts Bitcoin at $130,000, and the most optimistic scenario predicts it reaching $52.4 million.
