Speaking at a Bitcoin conference, Adam Back, the founder of Blockstream, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fOUEiNAwiDE\" target=\"_blank\">noted<\/a> the coin could climb to $1 million within the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>With Bitcoin trading at $108,645, a move to $1 million would represent an 825% gain from current levels. It would also give the cryptocurrency a fully diluted valuation of $21 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>Back is one of the most recognized figures in the crypto industry, having appeared in Satoshi Nakamoto\u2019s original <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bitcoin.org\/bitcoin.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">white paper<\/a>. He now runs Blockstream, a crypto infrastructure company whose valuation <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finsmes.com\/2021\/08\/blockstream-raises-210m-in-series-b-funding-valued-3-2-billion.html\" target=\"_blank\">peaked<\/a> at $3.2 billion in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Several other high-profile analysts also see significant upside for Bitcoin. Ark Invest projects it could reach $2.4 million by 2030, while BlackRock estimates a potential peak of $700,000. Michael Saylor has suggested Bitcoin\u2019s market cap could eventually hit $100 trillion.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bullish case for Bitcoin price<\/h2>\n<p>The core argument for higher prices is rising institutional demand. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have surpassed $45 billion in cumulative inflows, with the iShares Bitcoin ETF alone managing $71 billion in assets.<\/p>\n<p>Companies are also beginning to accumulate Bitcoin. Trump Media is raising $2.5 billion to buy BTC, while GameStop bought over 4,000 coins last week. Only a few publicly traded global firms have entered the space, leaving room for broader corporate adoption, particularly in light of Strategy\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>Nation-states may also ramp up purchases. El Salvador was the first to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, and in the U.S., Donald Trump has proposed creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Pakistan, the Czech Republic, and Poland have also signaled interest in holding reserves.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Rising demand coincides with tightening supply. Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges has dropped to its lowest level in seven years.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bitcoin price short-term forecast<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14384217\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" ><\/source><\/p>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">BTC price chart | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The daily chart shows Bitcoin consolidating in recent sessions.
