Dan Tapiero Predicts $1M Bitcoin Price by 2035

10T Holdings CEO Dan Tapiero compared Bitcoin to gold, predicting BTC will hit $1M and a $20 trillion market cap by 2035.

Bitcoin mirrors gold’s trajectory

Dan Tapiero, CEO of 10T Holdings, said Bitcoin is still in the early stages of adoption despite its massive potential. While often called “digital gold,” BTC is not yet widely used as a payment tool by traditional finance firms, which slows down its growth.

He compared Bitcoin’s evolution to gold’s history. After the US abandoned the gold standard in the 1970s, the metal lost its role as a monetary asset. Over time, however, it regained popularity as a safe haven for investors seeking protection from inflation.

Long-term forecast

Tapiero noted that central banks continue to diversify their reserves with gold amid global financial uncertainty. Similarly, Bitcoin, which has only existed for 15 years, is now undergoing a growth stage comparable to gold decades ago.

According to his forecast, once BTC is integrated as a core monetary asset, its value will rise sharply. Tapiero expects Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2035 with a total market capitalization of $20 trillion.

Bitcoin’s share in global assets

Even at such levels, Bitcoin would account for only about 2% of global assets. For Tapiero, this shows that BTC still has enormous growth potential and could strengthen its role as the world’s “digital gold.”
