In a recent interview on CNBC, she reaffirmed her bullish stance on Bitcoin, forecasting that the cryptocurrency could reach as high as $1.5 million by 2030. Wood’s optimistic outlook comes amid increasing institutional interest and anticipated regulatory clarity in the digital asset space. Earlier today, Bitcoin hit a new all time high just under $94,000.

$1.5 million by 2030“We have a 2030 target; in our base case, it’s around $650,000, and in our bull case, it’s between $1 million and $1.5 million,” Wood stated. She emphasized that Bitcoin is evolving beyond a global monetary system to become a new asset class altogether. “Institutions and asset allocators are saying, ‘Wait a minute, this asset is behaving differently from all of our other assets; we need to include it.’ So I think that’s the next big move,” she added.
ARK Investment was one of the earliest public asset managers to gain exposure to Bitcoin, investing in the cryptocurrency when it was priced at just $250 in 2015. Wood noted that despite Bitcoin’s significant appreciation since then, currently trading around $90,000, she believes there is substantial room for growth. “We still think we have a long way to go,” she said.

One of the key factors driving Wood’s optimism is the potential for regulatory relief under the current U.S. administration. “We’re getting regulatory relief here, and I think that’s one of the most important things coming out of this administration,” she explained. “We will get regulatory relief on all kinds of innovation, including healthcare.” The anticipation is that clearer regulations will reduce uncertainty and encourage more institutional participation in the cryptocurrency market.
Wood also highlighted the macroeconomic environment as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s ascent. With inflation rates stabilizing, she suggested that Bitcoin could see a “nice big move” as investors seek assets that behave differently from traditional equities and bonds. “In years where the Bitcoin halving has occurred and the inflation rate has gone down to 0.9%, it’s usually had a nice big move,” she observed.
Despite criticism and skepticism from some quarters, Wood remains steadfast in her convictions. Addressing a question about a critical article that questioned why anyone should listen to her, she responded confidently: “We have a volatile fund; we should not be a huge slice of any portfolio. We are more of a satellite strategy, although we think this is the way the world is going.”
