Tech Expert Predicts $1 Million Bitcoin — ‘Only One More 10x Left’

Bitcoin was back in the news this week after surging past $104,000 before retracting a bit. The rally, which started around May 7, propelled the world’s largest cryptocurrency from $93,000 to as much as $104,000 by May 9.

After retreating 4% in the following 24 hours, Bitcoin still maintained a weekly gain of around 6%. That short-term action is now driving larger predictions, including one that forecasts Bitcoin will increase another 10 times in value.

Muneeb Ali, the brains behind the Bitcoin Layer 2 solution Starks, thinks the next giant leap is imminent. In his opinion, Bitcoin has already taken three distinct steps in its price trajectory: from $100 to $1,000, then to $10,000, and then to over $100,000.

i’ve seen bitcoin go:

– from $100 to $1,000. – from $1,000 to $10,000. – from $10,000 to $100,000.

one more 10x to $1,000,000 is inevitable.

Ali pointed out how each move took more time but followed a familiar pattern. In 2013, Bitcoin climbed from $100 to $1,000 in four months. Four years later, in 2017, it reached $10,000. By December 2024, it had crossed the $100,000 mark. Based on that path, Ali said another 10x jump to $1 million isn’t just likely — it’s “inevitable”. However, he didn’t explain what would actually drive that kind of rise.

The latest Bitcoin price forecast by CoinCodex has the price increasing by 13% and hitting $116,600 on June 8, 2025. Technical analysis indicates a positive trend, with 20 of the past 30 days (67%) closing in the positive. During the same timeframe, Bitcoin recorded 6.50% price volatility.

The Fear & Greed Index is currently at 73, which is Greed. Though this prediction is not quite hinting at reaching $1 million yet, it validates the notion that there is still space for Bitcoin to rise in the near future.

Zack Shapiro, a Bitcoin Policy Institute lawyer, also thinks that Bitcoin has a lot of potential — and quick. He studied a bill called the Bitcoin Act, which was reintroduced last March. The bill proposes the US government to purchase 1 million BTC within five years. That represents 5% of the total supply.

If passed, the bill would fund the acquisition using profits from gold revaluation. Shapiro indicated that a plan like that would fuel demand so high it drives Bitcoin to $1 million earlier than anticipated. That’s provided that the bill gains momentum and secures the financing it requires.
