Claude AI Predicts What Bitcoin and Ethereum Could Be Worth by 2030 - Yahoo Finance
Claude AI predicts Bitcoin could reach $165,000 and Ethereum $5,200 by 2030, with Ethereum expected to outperform due to its deeper drawdown from peak prices.
Currently trading at $68,656, Bitcoin sits 45.5% below its October 2025 peak of $126,080. Ethereum, at $1,928, has fallen 61% from its August 2025 high of $4,946. The AI attributes Ethereum's larger expected gain to its deeper drawdown from peak values, as rebounds from lower prices typically show higher percentage increases.
Bitcoin's Potential Path
Claude AI presents a wide range of outcomes for Bitcoin by 2030, with the cryptocurrency currently testing its 200-week moving average near $68,000—a support level buyers have historically defended during downturns. The model expects Bitcoin to bottom out in the first half of 2027, followed by a significant uptick in 2028 when its halving occurs in April.
Historically, Bitcoin has tended to rise in the two years after a cycle low. If that pattern holds, Claude AI projects a potential peak around $210,000 in 2029, followed by a correction in 2030.
Key Risk Factor
The model identifies a second wave of inflation pushing the Federal Reserve to continue hiking interest rates through 2027 as the primary risk that could derail Bitcoin's forecast. Bitcoin currently has a 68% chance of reaching a new all-time high by 2030, compared to Ethereum's 52% probability.
