Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $11 Million by 2036

Bitcoin could hit $11 million, absorbing roughly 12% of the world’s financial capital by early 2036, according to a new report by Strive’s Vice President of Strategy, Joe Burnett.

Burnett believes the unique combination of AI advancements and monetary expansion will create the perfect conditions for explosive growth of digital gold.

AI as a Deflationary Shock

Burnett argues that over the next decade, artificial intelligence will become the most powerful deflationary force since the electrification of industry.

“In 1915, automobiles replaced 90% of horse labor. Today, AI is doing the same with white-collar workers, automating auditing, coding, and legal services,” he noted.

In a normal system, rising productivity leads to lower prices. But today’s debt-driven economy cannot handle deflation. If wages and prices fall while nominal debts like mortgages or loans remain the same, it triggers a widespread collapse, Burnett explains.

“Policymakers cannot allow this, so their response is always the same — aggressive monetary expansion,” he emphasized.

Chasing scarcity

When authorities flood markets with liquidity, capital looks for somewhere to go. Burnett is confident traditional assets are losing appeal.

Stocks face “creative destruction” — AI constantly shortens corporate lifespans and squeezes margins.

“Real estate is also at risk: automation in construction and 3D printing could dramatically increase housing supply, limiting price growth,” the expert warned.

In this scenario, Burnett sees liquidity flowing into assets with absolute scarcity. He calculates that if global wealth grows by 7% annually, by 2036 total financial assets will reach roughly $1.97 trillion.

At $11 million per Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency’s market cap would reach $230 trillion, which Burnett believes fits well within the global capital structure.
