Coinbase CEO Armstrong Eyes Much Higher Bitcoin by 2030 at $66K

Bitcoin trades near $65,787 in mid-June 2026, down from the $73K level seen earlier in the month and 48% below its October 2025 peak of $126K. The five-week forecast cycle opened with VanEck’s $1M base case by 2031 and Bitwise alignment, then escalated when Cathie Wood lifted ARK’s bull case to $1.25M (base $750K) by 2030 on institutional adoption. Anthony Pompliano and Michael Terpin linked the same $1M target to dollar debasement and corporate buying, while Bernstein kept its near-term call at $150K by year-end despite $1.54B ETF outflows and retail rotation into AI stocks. Coinbase’s Brian Armstrong and Chamath Palihapitiya closed the period by reaffirming multi-year upside, with Armstrong declaring BTC “much higher” by 2030.
