Strive CEO expects Bitcoin to have an annualized return of about 50% before the year 2030

Strive CEO Matt Cole stated in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine that its benchmark scenario expects Bitcoin to achieve approximately 50% annualized returns by 2030. He presented a macro argument consisting of three parts, involving the U.S. dollar, long-term Treasury yields, and Bitcoin re-emerging as the "fastest horse" against gold.

Matt Cole believes that when the Federal Reserve and the Treasury finally intervene to suppress long-term rates, the U.S. dollar will become the release valve, and scarce assets will surge significantly, allowing Bitcoin to once again play its role as the fastest asset against gold. The interview was hosted by Grace Remington and Sean Hagan and was published on September 15, 2026.
