Bitcoin seems to be gradually changing category in the eyes of the markets. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, recently discussed a scenario in which the cryptocurrency could ultimately reach $1 million per unit. This projection highlights the place taken by bitcoin in financial debates, while its evolution continues to fuel the expectations of investors and major institutions.
In brief
- Anthony Scaramucci discusses a scenario in which bitcoin could ultimately reach $1 million per unit.
- This hypothesis is based on the idea of bitcoin increasingly perceived as a credible store of value.
- The growing interest of Wall Street and large institutions is fueling this rise in power on the markets.
- At this price level, the total capitalization of bitcoin would reach $21,000 billion, thanks to its limited supply of 21 million units.
Wall Street pushes Bitcoin
For Anthony Scaramucci, the subject is no longer limited to a sudden increase in prices. What is happening around bitcoin would firstly be a change in perception, as the asset becomes part of the discussions of large financial institutions. In the background, the market is seeing a more structured reading emerge: that of a digital asset which would no longer only be observed for its volatility, but also for its capacity to be part of a logic of value conservation.
He builds his analysis around a simple parallel: a dollar bill is made of linen and cotton. However, it is accepted by everyone, because a collective system gives it its value through the trust it inspires. Bitcoin has also built its own trust system, based on a decentralized network, without central authority or single point of failure.
A dollar bill is made of linen and cotton. Yet we accept it because we trust it. In more than 16 years, Bitcoin has built its own trust system: decentralized, without central authority, without single point of failure.

Furthermore, he believes that the signals sent by Wall Street take on particular weight. Morgan Stanley is doing it. Goldman Sachs, for its part, has filed an application for a Bitcoin ETF. These movements, according to him, reinforce the idea of a broader change: bitcoin is gradually leaving the purely speculative register and settling into a more patrimonial logic, within discussions on asset allocation, both among individuals and institutional investors.
Heading towards the million: capitalization, limited supply and gold
The scenario put forward by Anthony Scaramucci highlights an elementary mechanism: the total supply of bitcoin is capped at 21 million units. From there, a valuation of $1 million per token would automatically bring the total capitalization of the network to $21,000 billion. The target strikes, but above all it follows a mathematical logic linked to the programmed scarcity of the asset.
However, even at this level, bitcoin would remain, according to this comparison, below the total estimated value of world gold. This is a central element of his argument. By comparing the potential capitalization of bitcoin to that of the precious metal, Scaramucci seeks to present cryptocurrency not as an anomaly, but as an asset capable of competing with the main instruments long described as safe havens.
Finally, there is a more concrete argument. Compared to gold, bitcoin would be faster to transfer, simpler to store and easier to move internationally. In this context, BTC could gradually approach the million mark, driven by three major dynamics: its scarcity, institutional adoption and the rise in power in the financial universe.
