Bitcoin at $ 10 million? Experts predict explosive growth by 2035

In a new publication entitled The Minkard Seed, Joe Burnett, Director of Market Research at Unchained, recruits a thesis that provides Bitcoin to reach $ 10 million per currency by 2035. This opening quarter letter Take the long -term vision, focusing on the “arbitration of time” as he studies where Bitcoin, technology and human civilization could endure a decade from now on.

Burnett’s argument revolves around two main transformations that, according to him, is preparing the scenario for unprecedented migration of global capital to Bitcoin: (1) the “great capital flow” in an asset with absolute shortage, and (2) the “acceleration of deflationary technology” as AI and robotics to the whole lining of the industries.

A long -term perspective on Bitcoin

Most economic comments approach the next profit report or the volatility of immediate prices. In contrast, the mustard seed clearly announces its mission: “Unlike most financial comments that are fixed in the next quarter or next year, this letter takes the long -term vision: identify deep changes before they become consensus.”

In the center of Burnett’s perspective is the observation that the global financial system, which includes approximately $ 900 billion in total assets, has continuous risks of “dilution or devaluation.” Bonds, currencies, shares, gold and real estate have expansive or inflationary components that erode their function of the value store:

• Gold ($ 20 billion): extracted to approximately 2% per year, increasing the supply and slowly diluting its shortage.
• Real estate ($ 300 billion): expands to around 2.4% per year due to new development.
• Equities ($ 110 billion): The company’s profits are constantly eroded by competition and market saturation, which contributes to the risk of devaluation.
• Fixed income and Fiat ($ 230 billion): structurally subject to inflation, which reduces purchasing power over time.

Burnett describes this phenomenon as a capital “looking for a lower potential state of energy”, comparing the process with waterfall water by a waterfall. In his opinion, all classes of assets prior to Bitcoin were effectively “open rewards” for dilution or devaluation. Heritage administrators could distribute capital between real estate, bonds, gold or actions, but each category carried a mechanism by which its real value could erode.

Bitcoin entered, with its hard limit of 21 million piles. Burnett sees this digital asset as the first monetary instrument unable to be diluted or devalued from the inside. The supply is fixed; Demand, if it grows, can be translated directly into pricing. The “cascade analogy” by Michael Saylor cites: “The capital naturally seeks the lowest potential energy state, just as water flows downhill. Before Bitcoin, wealth did not have a real escape from dilution or devaluation. The wealth stored in each class of assets acted as a reward of the market, encouraging dilution or devaluation.”

As soon as Bitcoin was widely recognized, says Burnett, the game changed for the capital allocation. Like discovering an unspecified deposit well below the existing water basins, the supply of global wealth found a new exit, one that cannot increase or dilute.

To illustrate the unique supply dynamics of Bitcoin, the mustard seed draws a parallel with the half reduction cycle. In 2009, the miners received 50 BTC per block: Akin to the Niagara cataracts in all their strength. As of today, the reward fell to 3,125 BTC, which reminds of half of the flow of cataracts repeatedly until it is significantly reduced. In 2065, Bitcoin’s freshly coined supply will be insignificant compared to its total volume, reflecting a reduced waterfall to a drip.

Although Burnett acknowledges that attempts to quantify Bitcoin’s global adoption are based on uncertain assumptions, it refers to two models: the power law model that projects $ 1.8 million per BTC by 2035 and the Bitcoin model of Michael Saylor that suggests $ 2.1 million per BTC for 2035.

He responds that these projections can be “too conservative” because they often assume decreasing yields. In a world of acceleration of technological adoption, and a growing realization of Bitcoin’s properties, price objectives could exceed these models significantly.

The acceleration of deflationary technology

An important catalyst for the ascending potential of Bitcoin, according to the mustard seed, is the deflationary wave caused by AI, automation and robotics. These innovations quickly increase productivity, reduce costs and make goods and services more abundant. By 2035, Burnett believes that global costs in several key sectors could suffer dramatic reductions.

“Speedfactories” by Adidas reduced the production of sneakers from months to days. The 3D print scale and the assembly lines driven by AI could reduce 10x manufacturing costs. 3D printed houses already rise 50 times faster at much lower costs. The advanced automation of the supply chain, combined with the logistics of AI, could make quality housing 10 times cheaper. The autonomous trip can potentially reduce rates by 90% by eliminating labor costs and improving efficiency.

Burnett emphasizes that, under a fiduciary system, natural deflation is often “artificially suppressed.” Monetary policies, such as persistent inflation and stimulus, inflated prices, the real impact of technology on masking costs.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, would allow the deflation to “execute its course”, increasing the purchasing power for the holders as the goods become more affordable. In his words: “A person who owns 0.1 BTC today (~ $ 10,000) could see that their purchasing power increases 100x or more by 2035 as goods and services become exponentially cheaper.”

To illustrate how the growth of the offer erodes a reserve of value over time, Burnett reviews the yield of gold since 1970. The nominal gold price of $ 36 per ounce to approximately $ 2,900 per ounce in 2025 seems substantial, but that price gain was continually diluted by the annual increase of 2% in the general supply of gold. For five decades, the Global Gold Stock almost tripled.

If the gold supply had been static, its price would have reached $ 8,618 per ounce by 2025, according to Burnett’s calculations. This supply restriction would have reinforced the shortage of gold, possibly promoting demand and price even more than $ 8,618.

Bitcoin, on the contrary, incorporates precisely the condition of fixed supply that gold never had. Any new demand will not stimulate the additional issuance of currencies and, therefore, should boost the more directly price.

Burnett’s forecast for a $ 10 million bitcoin for 2035 would imply a total market capitalization of $ 200 billion. While that figure sounds colossal, it points out that it represents only about 11% of world wealth, in addition to global wealth, it continues to expand at an annual rate of 7%. From this point of view, assigning about 11% of the world’s assets to what mustard seed calls “the best long -term value warehouse” may not be crazy. “Each last value store has expanded perpetually in the supply to meet the demand. Bitcoin is the first one who can’t. “

A key piece of puzzle is the Bitcoin security budget: MINERCIES. By 2035, the bitcoin block subsidy will be reduced to 0.78125 BTC per block. At $ 10 million per currency, the miners could earn $ 411 billion in added revenues each year. Since the miners sell the bitcoin that they earn to cover the costs, the market would have to absorb $ 411 billion of freshly undermined BTC annually.

Burnett draws a parallel with the global wine market, which was valued at $ 385 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach the $ 528 billion by 2030. If a “mundane” sector as wine can maintain that level of demand for consumers, an industry that ensures the main digital warehouse of the world that reaches a similar scale, argues, is very important within the reason.
Despite the public perception that Bitcoin is becoming the main current, Burnett highlights a little reported metric: “The number of people around the world with $ 100,000 or more in Bitcoin is only 400,000 … That is 0.005% of the world’s population, only 5 in 100,000 people.”

Meanwhile, studies may show that about 39% of Americans have some level of Bitcoin “direct or indirect”, but this figure includes any fractional property, such as having actions of actions or ETF related to Bitcoin through mutual funds and pension plans. The real and substantial adoption remains a niche. “If Bitcoin is the best long -term savings technology, we would expect anyone with substantial savings to have a substantial amount of Bitcoin. However, today, practically no one does. “

Burnett emphasizes that the road to $ 10 million does not require bitcoin to supplant all the money worldwide, only to “absorb a significant percentage of global wealth.” The strategy for investors with a future vision, he maintains, is simple but not trivial: ignore the short -term noise, focus on the horizon of several years and act before the overall consciousness of the Bitcoin properties becomes universal. “Those who can see beyond short -term volatility and focus on the biggest image will recognize Bitcoin as the most asymmetric bet and overlooked global markets.”

In other words, it is about “carrying capital migration”, while the Bitcoin user base remains relatively lowercase and the vast majority of traditional wealth remains in inherited assets.

At the time of publication, BTC quoted at $ 83,388.
