Jim Cramer mocks Saylor and Bitcoin bulls over $1 million forecast by 2030

CNBC’s Jim Cramer on Friday mocked Bitcoin bulls, especially Michael Saylor, for their overly optimistic Bitcoin price predictions, which he believes are unrealistic.

“The consistent bullish crypto cheerleaders are due for a full-court press using claims of $1 million per bitcoin in 2030, or some other magical nonsense,” the popular financial TV personality wrote on X. “They need to defend themselves as they always do. Saylor due for multiple appearances. I will ChatGPT what Saylor will say today.”

As a vocal Bitcoin supporter, Saylor has repeatedly predicted a $1 million price for the crypto asset. At Money20/20 last month, he said Bitcoin could reach $1 million sometime within four to eight years.

A number of crypto leaders also predict that Bitcoin could reach $1 million in the next few years.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, told Fox Business in September that the digital asset could hit $1 million by 2030 if banks do not obstruct its growth.

Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, also sees the target as attainable, and both he and ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood have issued even more ambitious predictions exceeding $1 million.

Bitcoin is currently trading at around $83,000, down 6% in the last 24 hours, CoinGecko data shows. Bitcoin has seen sharp swings in price over the past few weeks.

Jim’s statement follows a public endorsement he made just a few months ago, when he described Bitcoin as a hedge against the rising US national debt.

He said at the time that he wanted to protect future generations and planned to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum for his children, seeing them as tools against economic instability.
