Forward-looking projections based on Bitcoin's Power Law growth model. These are estimates, not predictions — actual prices can deviate significantly.
Bitcoin first reached $1 on February 9, 2011 — 766 days after the genesis block. This was the first time Bitcoin achieved parity with a major fiat currency and marked its transition from a technological experiment to something with real economic value.
Bitcoin crossed $100,000 for the first time on December 5, 2024 — approximately 5,815 days after genesis. The milestone was driven by massive spot ETF demand following the January 2024 ETF approvals and the April 2024 halving reducing daily new supply to just 450 BTC.
Bitcoin took approximately 13 years and 10 months to go from $1 (February 2011) to $100,000 (December 2024). Each order of magnitude ($1→$10, $10→$100, etc.) took progressively longer to achieve, consistent with the Power Law growth model.
Based on the Power Law growth model, Bitcoin's fair value is projected to cross $150,000 around mid-2026, $200,000 around mid-2027, $250,000 around early 2028, $500,000 around late 2030, and $1,000,000 around mid-2033. These are model estimates, not guarantees — actual prices can deviate significantly from the model.
