Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹77,56,747 ($81,479.00), up 0.6% since this brief published.

The revised projection reflects growing confidence in Bitcoin's potential to capture a larger share of the global store-of-value market, with significant implications for institutional investment strategies and crypto market dynamics.
- Bitwise projects Bitcoin reaching $1.6M by 2036 with 34.3% annual returns.
- Global store-of-value market could reach $110T by 2036.
- Optimistic scenario forecasts Bitcoin at $3.67M by 2036.

Crypto Economy and Bitcoin Sistemi both report that Bitwise has raised its 2036 Bitcoin price target to $1.6 million, up from $1.3 million previously, with a projected compound annual return of 34.3%. Both outlets also agree on the $110 trillion estimate for the global store-of-value market and the $303 trillion projection for institutional investment assets. However, only Bitcoin Sistemi mentions the $3.67 million optimistic scenario for Bitcoin's price by 2036.
Bitwise Asset Management has significantly revised its long-term 
Bitcoin price target, raising it from $1.3 million to $1.6 million by 2036. This new projection is based on an expected compound annual return of 34.3% over the period.
The asset manager's analysis suggests that Bitcoin will capture a substantial portion of the global store-of-value market, which Bitwise estimates could reach $110 trillion by 2036. This projection is part of a broader expectation that institutional investment assets will grow to $303 trillion during the same timeframe.
The revised forecast comes amidst a growing recognition of Bitcoin's potential as a store of value, particularly as traditional financial systems face increasing uncertainty. Bitwise's analysis indicates that Bitcoin's unique properties make it an attractive option for long-term investment.
The updated projections are supported by a detailed analysis of market trends and Bitcoin's historical performance. Bitwise's most optimistic scenario even projects Bitcoin reaching $3.67 million by 2036, underscoring the wide range of potential outcomes.
As of now, Bitcoin is trading at $80,982 with a 24-hour increase of 0.46%, while the overall crypto market remains relatively flat. The Fear & Greed index stands at 51, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
