ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood predicts Bitcoin’s value could escalate to $1.5 million by 2030. Key factors include institutional adoption, expanding the store-of-value market, and emerging market use cases. The U.S. economy is expected to move into a growth phase driven by AI advancements, despite recent sector-specific recessions. With institutional investors slowly entering the Bitcoin space, substantial potential remains.
