- Analysts say Bitcoin could hit $350,000 if it captures 30% of gold’s market cap.
- Historical data shows BTC often rallies after gold reaches new highs.
- Robert Kiyosaki and other influencers predict Bitcoin could reach $350K by 2025.
A bold call is circling the crypto space again—an analyst claims Bitcoin could hit $350,000 if it manages to scoop up just 30% of gold’s market share. Sounds wild at first glance, but when you dig into the math, the argument doesn’t look so far-fetched.
This comes not long after another forecast earlier in the month suggested Bitcoin might climb higher over the next year. The reasoning? Bitcoin has a habit of moving up shortly after gold hits new highs, and gold just did that again.
Gold vs. Bitcoin: A Market Cap Showdown
The Bitcoin Therapist, one of the voices behind this prediction, pointed out the staggering gap between gold and Bitcoin. Gold sits near a $24 trillion market cap, while Bitcoin is barely touching $2.4 trillion. In other words, gold’s market is still 10 times bigger.
The argument is simple: if Bitcoin grabbed even 30% of gold’s valuation, that would reprice it to around $350,000 per coin. Another observer, Lynxx, chimed in on X (formerly Twitter) noting that Bitcoin isn’t even at 10% of gold’s market yet—suggesting there’s plenty of room to grow.
Bitpulse, taking a more historical view, reminded everyone that gold had centuries to cement itself as a safe haven. Bitcoin, he argues, is basically a digital version of gold—and a superior one at that. If gold had its breakout moments in history, why wouldn’t Bitcoin have its own?
Bitcoin’s Habit of Following Gold
History shows that Bitcoin tends to trail gold but then sprint ahead later. When gold hit $1,921 in August 2011, Bitcoin went on to climb 145% within a year. Fast forward to 2020—gold touched $2,070. In just three months, Bitcoin rallied 68%. Six months later, 286%. By twelve months? A staggering 315%.
Now with gold smashing past $3,500 per ounce, Bitcoin is already moving in tandem, trading around $115,000. If this pattern plays out again, Bitcoin could be set for another monster rally in the coming year.
Big Names Back the $350K Call
It’s not just anonymous analysts making these claims. Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, has been vocal about his $350,000 Bitcoin prediction for 2025. He sees Bitcoin as a hedge against shaky economies and insists people should keep their coins in private wallets, not with institutions.
Kiyosaki even accused giants like BlackRock of holding down Bitcoin’s price so they can load up cheaper. Despite that, he’s confident the price won’t stay suppressed forever.
Jeremie Davinci, another early Bitcoin influencer, made a similar forecast. He bases his take on Bitcoin’s mining economics—pointing out that in past bull markets, Bitcoin often surged to five times the cost of mining. Following that logic, $350,000 doesn’t sound out of reach.
The Road Ahead
So, could Bitcoin really make the leap to $350K? If history repeats—gold’s highs feeding into Bitcoin’s rallies—then maybe it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Between whales stacking, analysts drawing lines between gold and BTC, and influencers doubling down on the narrative, the stage feels set for another big move.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed. But for long-term holders, these predictions only add fuel to the conviction that Bitcoin’s best days might still be ahead.
