Ark Invest Details How Bitcoin Can Reach $2.3 Million

Ark Invest’s “Big Ideas” recently published an analysis of a potential pathway for Bitcoin price to reach $2.3 million.

Brett Winton, Ark’s Director of Research, suggested that historically, an allocation of about 0.5% to 4.8% of an investor’s portfolio in Bitcoin could have yielded the best returns over a five-year period.

The report indicated that a minor global investment of just 1% from the $250 trillion in investable assets into Bitcoin could push its price to $120,000. A more substantial allocation of 19.4% could potentially elevate the price to $2.3 million.

The firm also reflected on Bitcoin’s significant price rebound in 2023, marking a 155% increase. Key events contributing to Bitcoin’s performance included record-breaking transaction volumes, Ripple’s legal victory over the SEC, and PayPal’s launch of a USD stablecoin.

It highlighted Bitcoin’s resilience, particularly noting its surge following the collapse of regional banks like Silicon Valley Bank, emphasizing its role in mitigating counterparty risk.
