“We’ll Reach $1 Million For Each Bitcoin By 2030,” Declares Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong

Coinbase’s Chief Executive Brian Armstrong predicts that BTC may reach $1 million by the year 2030, referencing factors such as US regulation, the buyer interest from institutions, and diminishing risks.

During his appearance on the ‘Cheeky Pint’ Podcast on August 20, 2025, Armstrong remarked, “The rough estimate I envision is that we will see a million dollar BTC by 2030, though there are considerable uncertainties around this. To provide a couple of examples – we are beginning to see regulatory clarity unfold in the US, which signals progress for the G20. The GENIUS Act for stablecoins has been enacted. This market structure bill is currently under discussion in the Senate – hopefully, we can see some movement by the end of this year.”

According to the CEO of Coinbase, as stocks become tokenized, individuals seeking loans will inevitably use crypto without being fully aware. “It’s similar to how people might not understand the mechanics of electricity but can still switch on a light,” he stated.

While both Jack Dorsey and Cathie Wood have suggested possibilities of $1 million or more by 2030, crypto market analysts like Anthony Scaramucci have proposed a quicker surge in the $180,000-$200,000 range within the coming months.

I believe we will see $1M per Bitcoin by 2030.

Regulatory clarity is finally coming together, the US government is maintaining a Bitcoin reserve, and interest in crypto ETFs is on the rise, among other factors.

Armstrong’s prediction comes as Bitcoin hovers near all-time highs, having recently achieved new peaks above $124,000 before retracing to the mid-$110,000s.

“Bitcoin Will Eventually Outshine Gold”

“Bitcoin is an inflation-resistant store of value,” Armstrong stated. “It should not be overlooked. This represents a $20 trillion opportunity, with gold being the closest comparison—but Bitcoin is even superior.”

Armstrong firmly believes that BTC will “eventually surpass gold.”

“Even if crypto serves no other purpose, that in itself is already massive,” he mentioned. “However, we are beginning to witness borrowing and lending and capital formation processes.”

He also emphasized a sovereign engagement and a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve as indicators that existential threats to BTC are diminishing.

“Congress tends to excel at doing two things — nothing and overreacting during crises”

After attempting to make progress in Washington and advocating for legislation, Armstrong acknowledged that “it’s relatively uncommon for Congress to take action.”

“We realized that at some point, we needed to create a political drive to achieve this, and we had 50 million people in the US who had used crypto. We decided, ‘Let’s work on organizing them.’”

They managed to get 2 million individuals in the US to express their intention to elect pro-crypto candidates. “I remember discussing with our policy team and saying, ‘let’s create a scorecard from A to F for every politician in this upcoming election (last November),’” he recounted.
