An interesting scenario was shared by Strive analysts. The essence is that when AI begins to significantly boost economic productivity, it will create deflationary pressure — in simple terms, deflation is when goods and services become cheaper due to increased efficiency. And here, politicians usually panic and start printing money to offset this process.

In such a situation, Bitcoin becomes an attractive asset. If central banks indeed expand the money supply in response to deflationary trends, the price of BTC could soar. According to experts' calculations, by the first quarter of 2036, Bitcoin could reach $11 million per coin.

Does that sound crazy? Let's do the math. Under this scenario, Bitcoin's market capitalization would be about $2.3 quadrillion. That would be roughly 12% of all global financial assets. Currently, Bitcoin accounts for approximately 0.2%, so this represents a 60-fold increase in its share.

The calculations are based on the assumption that global wealth will grow at 7% annually. Of course, this is not a certainty — there are many variables. But the logic itself is interesting: AI boosts productivity, creating deflationary pressures; governments respond with monetary expansion, and in such an environment, deflation-proof assets like Bitcoin become increasingly attractive. It’s worth keeping an eye on this scenario.
