- Bitcoin‘s total supply is capped at 21 million, with about 20 million currently in circulation.
- For Bitcoin’s market cap to equal Gold‘s current ~$31 trillion, its price would need to reach roughly $1.55 million.
- Multiple high-profile industry figures have publicly predicted Bitcoin could reach a seven-figure price.
- Gold’s market cap is projected to increase, potentially staying ahead of Bitcoin’s growth.
In late 2025, as investors adopted a risk-off strategy, gold experienced significant growth while Bitcoin underwent a correction after reaching an all-time high of $126,080. This divergence has reignited the debate about whether the digital asset can ever surpass the market capitalization of the traditional safe haven.
According to CompaniesMarketCap, gold’s market cap is approximately $31 trillion. Consequently, for Bitcoin to match this with its current ~20 million supply, each coin would need to be valued near $1.55 million, representing a 1913% rally. Many experts believe this milestone is achievable, with predictions for a $1 million Bitcoin being commonplace.
For instance, VanEck‘s Head of Digital Assets Research Matthew Sigel projects Bitcoin could hit $1 million in about five years. Meanwhile, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan considers that target “too conservative,” suggesting even greater potential. Other prominent voices like Telegram founder Pavel Durov, who discussed it in a podcast, alongside Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, have echoed similar seven-figure forecasts. However, gold’s market cap is also expected to rise, making it unlikely Bitcoin will overtake the precious metal’s total valuation in the foreseeable future.
