Bitcoin Reaches $11 Million By 2036

Joe Burnett, VP of Bitcoin Strategy at Strive, argues in a March 2 Substack note that bitcoin could reach $11 million by Q1 2036 as the dominant long-duration savings asset amid AI-driven deflation and repeated monetary expansion. He estimates a ~$230 trillion bitcoin network value, representing about 12% of a projected $1.97 quadrillion global financial asset base. If correct, this would redirect global liquidity into bitcoin and related 'Digital Credit' instruments.
Key Points
- 1Projects bitcoin reaching $11 million by Q1 2036, implying roughly $230 trillion network value
- 2Links AI-driven productivity deflation with persistent monetary expansion, creating demand for scarce monetary assets
- 3Suggests institutional flows and 'Digital Credit' products could channel yields into bitcoin accumulation
Scoring Rationale
Balanced macro-financial thesis offers strategic insight, but relies on a single Substack projection and speculative assumptions.
