Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has reiterated her prediction that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) 
$97,157 will exceed one million dollars by 2030. Wood emphasized the superiority of Bitcoin’s fixed supply compared to traditional assets. In an interview with Bloomberg, she stated, “When gold prices rise, production increases, but Bitcoin’s supply is fixed.”
Spot Bitcoin ETFs Attract Investors to the Market
Bitcoin is projected to rise by 120% throughout 2024, surpassing the $100,000 mark. Wood attributes this surge to the growing popularity of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and increasing institutional interest in the asset.
“Instruments like Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF facilitate investors’ access to cryptocurrencies,” she remarked, adding that Bitcoin’s capped supply of 21 million units makes it an increasingly scarce asset.
Expectations for M&A Activity Under the Trump Administration
Wood anticipates an increase in merger and acquisition (M&A) activities following the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections. She noted that “the FTC was blocking mergers, but this barrier will be lifted with the Trump administration,” predicting activity particularly in the banking and biotechnology sectors. Analysts from Bank of America have also observed a 50% increase in M&A activities during Republican administrations.
Additionally, Wood shared that ARK Innovation ETF is restructuring its portfolio by selling shares in Tesla and Palantir. “Companies at the forefront of innovation will be rewarded during this period,” she stated, underscoring the market’s potential for expansion and growth.
