Bitcoin, referred to as digital gold, is not new. That’s because proponents have long expected the digital asset to replicate gold’s growth. Currently, gold’s market capitalization is more than 20 times that of BTC, but this does not change expectations that BTC will eventually become a larger asset. This time, Bitcoin proponent Samson Mow is once again comparing and predicting what could happen between the two assets.
Betting on Bitcoin to Overtake Gold
In the According to Mow’s statement, BTC is expected to become ‘exponential gold’. This is a statement by the JAN3 CEO indicating how high he expects the BTC price to rise.
Explaining why he gave this title to BTC, Mow explains that he expects the digital asset to eventually surpass gold. As mentioned above, the gold market capitalization is already more than 20 times higher than the Bitcoin market capitalization. Cryptocurrency will grow even more in the future. But Mow is still unfazed by this.

Considering the current Bitcoin market cap and the total supply of the digital asset, a rise enough to exceed gold’s market cap of $35.5 million would push the BTC price well above $1.6 million. Considering that the Bitcoin price is currently trending around $67,000 at the time of this report, this translates to a 2,500% increase.
Always optimistic about BTC
Samson Mow’s advocacy for Bitcoin is not recent. That’s because his company JAN3, founded in 2022, is focused on expanding access to BTC. Through his company, Mow has further fueled the growth and adoption of BTC by making the digital asset more accessible to users.
Aside from adoption, the founders are also very optimistic about the BTC price. In January 2026, Mow released his BTC predictions for this year, sparking a lot of interest. As he explained, he expects the BTC price to reach up to $1.33 million per coin.
Other predictions include at least one country finally launching Bitcoin bonds and billionaire Elon Musk being big on the cryptocurrency. Additionally, Strategy’s stock price (formerly MicroStrategy) is expected to reach $5,000, and finally, BTC is expected to eventually outperform metals like gold.
