Jason Lowery, author of Bitcoin Softwar, targets $1M Bitcoin by 2030 and $100M as a long-term target
Jason Lowery recently made bold predictions on Bitcoin’s price based on emerging proof-of-work theories.
Lowery stated in a tweet which hasn’t been deleted that the market was still learning the computer science behind proof-of work networks that can be reused. Lowery, a serviceman with the United States Space Force, is well known for regularly deleting his social media posts.
He outlined his “Digital Gold Theory,” suggesting that this framework will drive Bitcoin’s price to $1 million per coin by around 2030. Lowery added that once the public fully recognizes deeper constructs—such as “Power Projection Theory” and “Digital Matter Theory”—Bitcoin’s valuation could surge to $100 million, emphasizing that many remain unaware of what lies ahead.
“Digital Gold Theory will get the price of “Bitcoin” to $1M per “coin” by ~2030, but the real fun starts after that, when the public begins to understand and accept the deeper theoretical computer science behind PoW that has begun to emerge over the last few years, like “Power Projection Theory” and “Digital Matter Theory.” That will be when we see the price run away to $100M.”
Lowery clarified, however, that he has not assigned a timeline for the forecast of $100 million. He indicated that the target might not materialize until as late as the year 2100, underlining his view that the strategic importance and total addressable market of what he terms “digital power” and “digital matter” far exceed the traditional notion of “digital gold.”
His statements invite a reassessment of Bitcoin’s valuation framework. Lowery’s projections suggest that Bitcoin’s future price is both a function of supply and demand and also reflects a gradual shift in public understanding of its underlying proof-of-work mechanism. His forecast posits that as people begin to appreciate the nuances of PoW, Bitcoin’s price could experience a dramatic realignment.
Lowery’s commentary resonates with themes he has advanced in earlier work on Bitcoin’s role within national security and digital defense. His advocacy for security frameworks that extend Bitcoin’s role beyond a mere store of value is now being heard in the Capital as he aids new crypto policy under the Trump administration.
His ideas contributed to a growing discussion that views Bitcoins not only as a financial asset but also an asset with implications in cybersecurity and national defence. Mike Siers’ AuthLN project, which uses Bitcoin and the Lightning Network to secure critical infrastructure using Bitcoin capital, is a prime example of Bitcoin’s possibilities. CryptoSlate caught up with Siers on a recent episode of the SlateCast to discuss AuthLN and Bitcoin’s future role in cybersecurity.
Invaluation models increasingly incorporate factors that were traditionally associated with strategy and technology. The potential transition from a “digital gold” paradigm to one that embraces “digital power” and “digital matter” will eventually change how investors assess the role of Bitcoin in a digitally interconnected and defense-conscious environment.
Lowery’s lack of a strict timeline for the $100 million prediction further accentuates the speculative nature of these forecasts. By distancing the higher target from near-term expectations, he implies that the evolution of Bitcoin’s valuation may be as much about gradual theoretical breakthroughs and public recognition of new computational paradigms as it is about immediate market forces. This viewpoint encourages participants to think beyond conventional metrics, and how advances in the proof-ofwork theory may eventually change investor sentiment.
Lowery’s tweets highlight a future in which Bitcoin’s price trajectory might reflect not only traditional market forces but also the gradual maturation of theories on Bitcoin’s role in national security considerations.
