AI-driven deflation could push BTC to $11M by 2036, says Stripe VP

Technological deflation driven by artificial intelligence could lead central banks to expand the money supply, potentially pushing Bitcoin's price past $10 million within a decade, a new analysis suggests. According to Cointelegraph, Stripe VP of BTC Strategy Burnett predicted that AI-driven productivity gains will lower the prices of goods and services, squeezing corporate margins and forcing governments to respond with continuous monetary expansion. His base case scenario sees Bitcoin reaching $11 million by the first quarter of 2036. This forecast assumes Bitcoin will capture about 12% of global financial asset value and that the total size of global assets will grow by 7% annually until 2036. Currently, Bitcoin accounts for about 0.2% of all financial assets. For this prediction to materialize, its market capitalization would need to increase 176-fold to $230 trillion.
