Bitcoin recently hit the $100,000 price mark, but when accounting for inflation and the decrease in the U.S. dollar’s purchasing power since 2020, this milestone equates to about $80,000 in 2020 dollars. The inflation adjustment means Bitcoin needs to reach around $125,000 to match the same purchasing power as $100,000 in 2020. Market analysts suggest investors should consider inflation-adjusted values over nominal prices when evaluating Bitcoin's true value and future milestones.
