Cathie Wood Doubles Down On $1.25 Million Bitcoin Target

ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood has defended her bull case for Bitcoin reaching $1.25 million within five years, arguing that institutional allocation, digital-gold substitution and Bitcoin’s hard-coded scarcity remain the central pillars of the forecast.
