Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins continue to be in a downtrend as the end of 2025 approaches.
However, expectations for growth continue for 2026. The latest forecast comes from CF Benchmarks.
CF Benchmarks, a subsidiary of Kraken, predicts that Bitcoin could reach $1.42 million by 2035.
According to Coindesk, a simulation conducted by CF Benchmarks revealed that a strategic investment of 2% to 5% in Bitcoin could significantly improve portfolio efficiency.
The firm also presented various scenarios regarding the price of Bitcoin in 2035. According to these scenarios, Bitcoin could reach $637,000 in the most conservative scenario, $1.42 million in the basic scenario, and $2.95 million in the more optimistic scenario.
CF Benchmarks stated that instead of offering short-term price predictions for Bitcoin, their forecast considers the long-term role of Bitcoin in diversified portfolios and is based on that assessment.
In its most conservative scenario, the company modeled a price, predicting that Bitcoin would continue to gain market share at its historical rate and capture approximately 16% to 33% of gold’s market value. According to this scenario, the price of Bitcoin could reach approximately $637,000 by 2035.
Secondly, the baseline scenario assumes broader institutional adoption and faster growth. While it projects Bitcoin’s market capitalization to reach approximately one-third of gold’s market capitalization, this scenario anticipates Bitcoin’s price reaching around $1.42 million by 2035.
Finally, in the most optimistic scenario, CF Benchmarks predicts that Bitcoin will surpass gold’s market capitalization, becoming a more dominant global store of value. According to this scenario, Bitcoin is estimated to reach approximately $2.95 million by 2035.
