A new study by Satoshi Action Education, led by economist Murray A. Rudd, projects a 75% probability that Bitcoin (BTC) could exceed $4.81 million by April 2036. Utilizing Monte Carlo simulations that model supply shocks, institutional demand, and liquidity constraints, the research indicates Bitcoin may reach $1 million by mid-2027, with extreme scenarios suggesting prices up to $50 million. The forecast attributes this growth to Bitcoin's fixed 21M supply cap combined with increasing institutional adoption and favorable regulatory shifts.
