Brad Mills predicts a 100X Bitcoin rally fueled by institutional adoption, halving-induced scarcity, and tech advancements. The US launches a Bitcoin reserve with 200,000 BTC, hinting at a long-term government-held Bitcoin monetary policy shift. Mills sees a surge in Bitcoin’s value as corporations and nations hoard it, citing El Salvador’s 6,209 BTC holdings and Saylor’s $200 trillion economy vision as evidence.

Mills forecasts a 100X rise to $10 million over 10-20 years based on Bitcoin’s capped supply and growing demand. Square plans to introduce Lightning Network-powered payments by 2026 to reduce fees and boost transactional use. Companies like Square and CashuBTC are expected to drive retail exposure to Bitcoin, allowing small savers to accumulate sats.

Blockstream CEO Adam Back suggests a potential “parabolic breakout” for Bitcoin, signaling a departure from traditional price cycles. This challenges models like Stock-to-Flow and power-law predictions, hinting at a possible skyrocketing of Bitcoin’s value as more institutions adopt it as a treasury asset. The market may see increased adoption and reduced volatility driving Bitcoin’s surge.

Speculation by trader Peter Brandt of a 75% Bitcoin crash faces skepticism, as analysts believe current institutional adoption supports Bitcoin’s stability. The US government’s initiation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with 200,000 BTC, under Senator Lummis’s Bitcoin Reserve Act, suggests a policy pivot towards holding Bitcoin assets long-term. This shift could diminish Bitcoin’s internal price drivers, focusing on macroeconomic forces and global adoption.
