EXCLUSIVE: Mark Yusko Silences Bitcoin Critics, Sees Bitcoin Hitting $5 Trillion Market Cap
By Benzinga
Morgan Creek Capital Management has been buying Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization, since 2018.
Morgan Creek CEO and founder Mark Yusko believes Bitcoin could be 10x higher from current levels as it replaces gold, which is currently valued at over $5 trillion, as the currency standard.
What Happened: Over the years, Yusko has become well-known for his bullish take on the future of Bitcoin and future price targets.
With a price target of $100,000 by mid-2024 and $300,000 by the year 2028, Yusko is among those who see a strong return for the leading cryptocurrency for investors who take a position or add to their stakes today.
“We never sold any of it, we won’t sell any of it for a long time,” Yusko said of Bitcoin on an episode of The Raz Report.

With more than $100 trillion dollars of money around the world from all currencies sitting on top of $5 trillion in gold, Yusko sees the valuation of Bitcoin increasing.
Yusko’s price targets have mostly stayed in the six-figure range. He called a $1 million price target that is often used by Cathie Wood and some others as “feasible,” but doesn’t see it happening in the next two to five years.
