Bitcoin Price Prediction: Where Will BTC Be by 2028?
- BTC-USD
- SOFI
- ETH-USD
Quick Read
-
Bitcoin trades about 40% below its October 2025 peak, yet a climb back above $100,000 by 2028 looks plausible while $150,000 does not.
-
Bitcoin must first reclaim its 50-day average near $82,000, or risk sliding toward $73,000 support and possibly $50,000.
-
A sustained close above $82,003 plus cumulative ETF inflows beyond $58 billion would make the six-figure case far more compelling.

Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is trading at $75,904, a 0.6% drop in the last 24 hours. Over the past month, it has fallen 8.9% and is now 39.8% below its peak of $126,080. Over the past year, BTC has fluctuated, reaching a high of $105,951 on November 10, 2025, and dropping to a low of $58,566 on June 30, 2026.
A Bitcoin price prediction for the end of 2028 is hard to pin down, but it helps to explore key scenarios, since the question of whether Bitcoin can return to a six-figure price keeps coming up.
What Would It Take for Bitcoin to Reach $100,000?
If Bitcoin reaches $100,000, its market cap, calculated by multiplying the price by the number of coins in circulation, would be around $2.01 trillion, based on the current supply of 20,105,365 coins. At its present price, Bitcoin has a market cap of about $1.53 trillion, while the second-largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), stands at roughly $272.82 billion.
As miners continue to create new coins, the circulating supply will gradually approach the 21,000,000 cap, with 894,635 coins still available for mining. If Bitcoin were valued at $126,080, the market cap would be close to $2.53 trillion because of the lower supply at that time. If it rose to $150,000, the market cap would exceed $3.02 trillion.

A move to $100,000 means a 31.7% gain from its current price. Meanwhile, climbing back to the previous peak of $126,080 would mean a more substantial increase of about 66.1%. A $100,000 price means a market valuation above $2 trillion.
Catalysts That Could Lift Bitcoin Back to Six Figures
Spot Bitcoin ETF Demand
Spot Bitcoin ETFs are investment funds backed by actual Bitcoin, meaning steady purchases can pull coins off the market. As of November 5, cumulative net inflows stood at around $56.11 billion, down from $57.96 billion on October 21. One day of flows doesn’t create a trend on its own.
