Bitcoin Poised to Hit $170,574 Within 12 Months?
During its peak this year, Bitcoin momentarily eclipsed silver, becoming the eighth most valuable commodity worldwide by market capitalization.
Bitcoin has experienced unprecedented success in 2024, setting a new record high of $73,679 on March 13, maintaining its value around $70,000 since then.
This surge represents an impressive growth of over 140% compared to the previous year.
During its peak this year, Bitcoin momentarily eclipsed silver, becoming the eighth most valuable commodity worldwide by market capitalization.
Looking ahead, projecting similar growth rates into the future suggests that by April 2025, Bitcoin could potentially hit $170,574.
This forecast not only positions it above silver but also surpasses major corporations like Amazon, Alphabet (Google), Saudi Aramco, Nvidia, and Microsoft in CompaniesMarketcap’s rankings of top commodities by capitalization.
This speculative growth assumes a static market environment, using current market caps as a baseline for comparison.
Currently, Bitcoin’s market cap closely trails that of silver, which stands at $1.412 trillion.
To edge past silver again, Bitcoin would need to increase its value to $71,732, reaching a market cap of around $1.413 trillion.
Moreover, Bitcoin is poised to leapfrog other major entities.
For instance, surpassing Google’s $1.885 trillion market cap requires Bitcoin to reach approximately $95,642.
To dethrone Microsoft from the second spot, Bitcoin would need to surpass a market cap of $3.126 trillion, achievable at a price of roughly $165,608 per BTC.
These projections are grounded in Bitcoin’s recent yearly growth of about 144.82%.
If this trend continues, Bitcoin could see its price soar to $170,574 by next year, boosting its market cap to approximately $3.224 trillion, thereby overtaking Microsoft.
