Missed out on Bitcoin’s 87.6% annualized return over the past decade? Don’t rush to regret it—the real show might still be ahead.

Looking back to 2015, Bitcoin at $430 seemed like a crazy gamble. By 2025, $92,000 is already written into the history books. This 215-fold leap was built on halving cycles, global consensus, and real institutional money.

Here’s the key question: In the next decade, it’s not about whether BTC will rise, but how it will rise.

The conservative crowd will tell you a slowdown to 30% annualized growth makes sense—that means $1.27 million per coin by 2035. This path is steady: ETFs keep attracting capital, global adoption rolls out gradually, and both the math and the real world support it.

The aggressive camp dreams of maintaining that 87.6% growth rate—if so, 2035 would mean $50 million per coin. Sounds awesome, but that would require Bitcoin to swallow the entire global stock market and rewrite monetary rules. Theoretically possible, but realistically? Not likely.

The most reliable answer is probably somewhere in the middle. An annual growth rate of 20%-35% puts Bitcoin in the $600,000 to $1.5 million range. Behind this is the flood of capital unlocked by ETFs, the tightening supply every four years, and a fundamental redefinition of value storage for our era.

Ten years ago, if someone told you Bitcoin could go up 200x, you’d probably laugh it off. Now, if someone says it could break a million dollars—doesn’t feel quite so crazy, does it? History never repeats exactly, but scarcity is always valuable. That’s a fundamental law.
