Bitcoin Could Reach $300,000 by 2030, According to New Research

Bitcoin has had a rough few weeks. After touching a high in early October, the world’s largest cryptocurrency fell about 26% by Nov. 18. Traders took profits, and the market cooled off. Even with the drop, a number of long-time market researchers say the bigger picture for Bitcoin hasn’t changed.

One estimate getting attention right now puts Bitcoin near $300,000 by 2030. It sounds bold, but the reasoning behind it is actually very simple.

Bitcoin has a supply limit that never changes

Bitcoin will never have more than 21 million coins. That limit has been the same since it was created in 2009, and the network is designed so nobody can raise it. Most of the coins already exist, and the rest are released slowly.

Nothing about this supply rule shifts with demand.
Nothing about it changes with government policy.

That’s the foundation behind the long-term price predictions.

Meanwhile, the amount of traditional money keeps rising

Bitcoin’s supply stays the same, but the amount of regular money in the world keeps increasing.

Over the last 15 years:

• The combined money supply of the U.S., Europe, Japan and China grew 145%

• Governments borrowed more

• More money entered the system through stimulus and spending

This means more currency is chasing a limited number of Bitcoin units.
That simple imbalance is one of the main reasons people expect Bitcoin to rise over time.

Bitcoin won’t repeat its old gains, but higher levels are still possible

Bitcoin rose 416% between mid-November 2020 and Nov. 18 this year. That kind of jump is unlikely to happen again. Bitcoin is now traded by larger institutions, regulated in more regions, and part of broader financial markets.

But several things still support higher prices in the years ahead:

• New coin supply keeps shrinking through scheduled halving events

• More investment platforms and funds are offering Bitcoin products

• People in countries with unstable currencies continue using Bitcoin as a backup option

• Global money supply keeps rising, which benefits assets that don’t expand

Put together, these trends keep the long-term prediction alive.

What could influence Bitcoin before 2030

Here are the main events experts are watching:

• The next halving, which cuts the number of new coins entering the market

• New regulated Bitcoin ETFs

• Clearer rules in major countries

• More adoption in regions facing inflation or weak local currencies

Each of these affects demand, while supply stays fixed.

Where things stand now

Bitcoin remains volatile, and drops like the recent one are normal. But the long-term case is simple:
Bitcoin’s supply stays capped, while global money supply keeps growing.

If those conditions continue, a move toward higher levels — including the often-cited $300,000 target — is possible, even if the journey takes time and includes sharp swings.
