Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) has been known for turning skeptics into storytellers for a long time—I'm no exception. Five years ago, the price of one Bitcoin was equivalent to an old car. But today, it has surpassed 100,000 USD. Such a big pump has led many investors to wonder: if I invest 10,000 USD in Bitcoin today, can it bring 100,000 USD by 2030? This question is very important because the motivations that once drove Bitcoin's price up are gradually changing form. However, Bitcoin's history is like a safety warning on a roller coaster—full of risks, and it does not promise stable profits. So, what makes the potential for tenfold growth still very apparent? Why is strategic investing still better than 'blindly jumping in'? Supply constraints are facing explosive demand Over the past five years, Bitcoin has risen over 1,060%, from about 9,123 USD to about 109,600 USD ( as of 3/7), with an annual compound growth rate( of over 63%. Even if this growth rate halves, the possibility of a tenfold increase within the next five years is still mathematically feasible. But what makes the outlook appealing is not just mathematics. Fundamental factors are driving strong demand, particularly from large institutions. Bitcoin ETFs and traditional fund flows One of the biggest factors driving prices is the growth of spot Bitcoin ETFs. For example, the iShares Bitcoin Trust currently charges about 187 million USD annually—surpassing the S&P 500 ETF fund of the issuing company's market maker. This indicates that large amounts of capital from the traditional financial market are eagerly seeking opportunities to get exposure to Bitcoin. In the week ending June 30, Bitcoin ETFs attracted up to 2.2 billion USD in new inflows—showing that the pace of growth is accelerating rather than slowing down. Growth in holdings of publicly traded companies and Bitcoin reserves It's not just individual investors; many publicly traded companies—including TSL—are also holding Bitcoin directly on their balance sheets. This may just be the beginning. A brand-new business model is emerging: Bitcoin treasury companies—whose sole aim is to accumulate and hold as much Bitcoin as possible. A typical example is the company Strategy, which just purchased 4,980 BTC, bringing its total holdings to over 597,000 BTC. Other businesses from London to Tokyo are also replicating this model, further reducing the circulating supply of Bitcoin in the market, driving demand higher. Supply scarcity and the upcoming halving event Currently, about 94% of the total supply of Bitcoin has been mined. Due to the halving event, the rate of new coin issuance will continue to slow down—the next one is expected to occur at the end of March 2028, which will reduce the issuance rate to below 0.8% of the current circulating supply. As ETFs, institutions, and companies continue to accumulate, the number of publicly traded remaining coins will become scarcer. In other words, more and more people are buying, while the number of coins remains nearly unchanged—this is the classic formula for significant price increases. But remember: Bitcoin is still full of risks and fluctuations Despite the attractive prospects for a rise, we must also clearly recognize: Bitcoin has never been a stable asset. In the past, just a single liquidity event, a change in legal policy, or a shift in market sentiment could lead to Bitcoin's price halving—and this will certainly happen again. The development of spot ETFs makes it easier than ever for funds to exit, which means a panic could occur quickly and intensely. Additionally, instability from the U.S. government—such as sudden changes in cryptocurrency policy—could also keep investment institutions on alert. The best strategy: Dollar Cost Averaging instead of going 'all-in' With such risks, going 'all-in' with a large sum of money could backfire. A more sensible strategy is to invest regularly on a monthly/quarterly basis—also known as Dollar Cost Averaging)DCA(. This strategy helps you evenly spread the risk when prices rise and fall, and reduces your chances of getting tied up during bad times. History shows that holding Bitcoin for at least one halving cycle) of about four years( usually leads to profits, but there have also been phases where investments remained only as 'paper losses'. Conclusion: The potential for tenfold growth is real, but don't be blind All signs indicate that Bitcoin could achieve outstanding growth in the coming years, especially when fixed supply combines with massive inflows from institutions. However, the road to the goal may be fraught with thorns and unexpected declines. Treat the goal of 'tenfold growth' as a possibility, not a guarantee. Invest according to your risk tolerance, always leave cash to cope with deep corrections, and most importantly: you can only earn compound interest if you remain in the game.
