Renowned Bitcoin analyst PlanB, known for his stock-to-flow model for BTC, has made a bold prediction regarding the future price of BTC. What sets this forecast apart is its evaluation in terms of gold ounces, shedding light on a unique perspective.
The PlanB Projection: Bitcoin Meteoric Rise
According to PlanB’s recent post on X, he foresees a monumental shift in Bitcoin’s value, expected to rise significantly in the coming years. Drawing a comparison with gold, PlanB highlighted that currently, one Bitcoin is equivalent to 26 ounces of gold, valuing an ounce of gold at $2,000.

Looking ahead to 2024-2025, PlanB predicts that Bitcoin’s price could skyrocket to roughly 100 gold ounces, translating to $200,000 in fiat currency terms.
Delving deeper into the charted trajectory, PlanB anticipates Bitcoin to climb to 35 gold ounces ($70,000) by 2024 and surge to 300 gold ounces by 2025. This projection would place Bitcoin’s value at a price target of $600,000, marking a monumental milestone in its journey.
Correct. And more if gold price rises too.

Bullish Momentum Fuels Bitcoin’s Rise
As Bitcoin continues to capture the attention of investors, recent weeks have witnessed a notable bullish momentum propelling the cryptocurrency forward. With a surge of more than 20% over this period, Bitcoin has crossed the $1 trillion market cap threshold, accompanied by a trading volume hovering above $20 billion in the past week alone.
This surge in activity has ignited optimism among investors and traders, leading to a significant accumulation of the asset. Notably, Whale Alert data reveals that earlier today a substantial withdrawal of approximately $962.15 million from the leading US crypto exchange, Coinbase, to an undisclosed address, underscoring the heightened interest in Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin open interest has surged to over $24 billion, marking a 50% increase since the start of 2024. This surge in open interest, a metric representing the total value of outstanding derivative contracts, signifies heightened market activity and interest in Bitcoin futures and options trading.
Notably, this surge in open interest levels has not been witnessed since the peak of Bitcoin’s price in November 2021 when it soared to an all-time high of $69,000.
