1. Who is the proponent of the million-dollar target?

“Will Bitcoin reach one million dollars by 2030?” This question has recently become a hot topic again, stemming from Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the personal finance bestseller “Rich Dad Poor Dad.” He reiterated his optimism about Bitcoin in June 2025 and predicted that it would reach $1,000,000 within the next 5 years.

Kiyosaki’s viewpoint is not an isolated case. Similar expectations have been put forward by Cathie Wood from Ark Invest and research analysts from Coinbase. These predictions are based on the premise that Bitcoin possesses the status of “digital gold,” with a constant total supply and continuously rising demand.

2. Current Price Overview and Market Trends

As of June 23, 2025, the price of Bitcoin is around $99,600, slightly down from its yearly high, but overall it remains near the $100,000 mark. It is important to note that although there is still a 10-fold gap to reach a million dollars, this is not an unfounded fantasy:

• From 2020 to 2021, Bitcoin rose more than 6 times over a period of more than a year.
• In the past decade, Bitcoin has been one of the best-performing assets globally, with an annualized return of over 100%;
• Most institutional investors believe that with the compliance of ETFs and acceptance by sovereign nations, Bitcoin still has tremendous room for price increase.

3. What factors could drive the price to 1,000,000 dollars?

(1) Trend of currency depreciation

The monetary depreciation caused by the continuous expansion of the Federal Reserve and other central banks is an important backdrop supporting the rise of Bitcoin. Many investors view Bitcoin as “digital gold” to hedge against inflation. If the purchasing power of fiat currency continues to decline over the next 5 years, the relative value of Bitcoin may significantly increase.

(2) The supply mechanism determines scarcity.

The total supply of Bitcoin is fixed at 21 million coins, with a halving event occurring every four years. By 2030, Bitcoin will have completed its sixth halving, and the daily output will be below 112.5 coins. Such a scarce asset is prone to significant price increases as demand continues to rise.

(3) Institutional and national level adoption accelerates

In the past 2 years, the U.S. SEC has approved multiple Bitcoin spot ETFs, prompting funds to flow from traditional markets into the crypto market. Meanwhile, several Latin American countries are attempting to use Bitcoin as one of the reserve assets or fiat currency use cases.

The continuous entry of “big buyers” such as sovereign funds, pension accounts, and listed companies will change the supply and demand pattern of Bitcoin, which has been mainly driven by retail investors in the past.

(4) The maturity of Layer 2 technology and Web3 scenarios

The Bitcoin network itself has limited performance, but Layer 2 solutions like the Lightning Network and Stacks are enhancing its payment efficiency and functionality. As more Web3 projects use Bitcoin as collateral and a medium of exchange, its usage will also influence price trends.

4. The challenges and uncertainties of achieving the million goal

Of course, Kiyosaki’s predictions are not without controversy, as there are many variables in the market:

• Global regulatory attitude changes: If major economies suddenly increase their crackdown efforts, it will suppress investor sentiment.
• Emergence of Competing Assets: Ethereum, stablecoins, or Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) may divert some users and funds;
• Technical security issues: Although the Bitcoin network is secure, problems such as wallet loss and hacker attacks still affect user trust.
• Speculative behavior raises volatility: Sharp fluctuations make it easy for newcomers to buy at high points and panic sell at low points.

5. How should beginners view this type of prediction?

First, do not blindly trust a single viewpoint. Although Kiyosaki has investment influence, the market cannot be swayed by just one person. You need to cross-verify information from multiple sources.

Second, control your position reasonably. Even if you are optimistic about the long-term value of Bitcoin, do not put all your assets in one direction. A reasonable asset allocation, such as 50% stocks, 30% savings, and 10%-20% digital assets, is a more sustainable strategy.

Third, establish your own price expectations. It might be a good idea to set phased goals, for example: whether to take some profits if Bitcoin breaks through $150,000; whether to increase positions if it falls back to $60,000, etc.

Fourth, pay attention to security operations. Learn how to use hardware wallets to avoid asset theft or loss due to misoperation. Remember to back up your mnemonic phrase and do not keep assets on exchanges for long periods.

Summary

Will Bitcoin reach one million dollars by 2030? It is both a market target that sparks heated discussions and an opportunity for ordinary investors to rethink asset allocation logic. We cannot be certain whether this figure can be achieved, but what we can be sure of is that Bitcoin has become an indispensable part of the global financial system.

For beginners, don’t just focus on the price, but start by understanding the mechanisms, participating in the ecosystem, and making stable allocations. Under the premise of controlling risks, share in the potential future dividends.
