Everyone loves a good $1M $BTC story, but let's do the actual math.
To hit $1M per coin, you'd need roughly $15T in additional capital flowing in — from today's ~$1.28T market cap. That's basically 25% of the entire US stock market shifting into Bitcoin over four years.
Think about that for a second. The entire US equity market. One quarter of it. Into one asset. In 48 months.
The real lesson here isn't that $1M is impossible forever. It's that most price targets completely ignore the capital requirements behind them. They're vibes, not math.
If even $100K requires massive new demand to sustain, how realistic is $1M by 2030? You'd need institutional flows at a scale we've never seen, sustained for years, with no major drawdowns or regulatory shocks.
Possible? Sure. Probable in that timeframe? The numbers don't support it.
