Key points: Bitcoin ( BTC ) will shoot to $1 million in just three years thanks to global macroeconomic shifts, Arthur Hayes forecasts. In his latest blog post released on May 15, the former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX doubled down on his sky-high BTC price prediction . Hayes: $1 million Bitcoin due “between now and 2028” Bitcoin has two giant tailwinds that will help propel it to seven digits in just a few years. For Hayes, shifting capital controls worldwide, as well as US treasury “devaluation,” mean that Bitcoin will become the go-to safety net for investors everywhere. He summarizes: While that date may appear arbitrary and demand 900% BTC price gains, Hayes argues that the financial landscape could change in an instant depending on the next US governmental administration. “I say 2028, because that is when the next US presidential election occurs and who knows what type of politician will win and what policies they will enact,” he continues. While the Presidency of Donald Trump has enacted various pro-crypto policies, these could also begin to reverse if a shift in government occurs. In Europe, meanwhile, an increasing desire to control and even suppress crypto use by the general population signals a growing divergence. “Not even China has banned the private ownership of Bitcoin because it knows it’s counterproductive and impossible,” Hayes writes. Betting on a seven-figure breakout As Cointelegraph reported, Hayes has not been shy about predicting both short-term and longer-term BTC price expansion in the years to come.

Multimillion-dollar targets for the next decade include those of major financial players such as Fidelity Investments. Michael Saylor, CEO of business intelligence firm Strategy, which has the world’s largest Bitcoin treasury of any public company, told mainstream media this week that he envisages a $10 trillion valuation . “My forecast for 2045 is 13 million a Bitcoin,” he added.
