Bitcoin, being referred to as digital gold, is nothing new, as proponents have, for the longest time, expected the digital asset to replicate gold’s growth. Currently, the market cap of gold is more than 20 times that of BTC, but that has not changed the expectations that BTC will eventually be the bigger asset. This time around, it is Bitcoin proponent Samson Mow who is once again making the comparison and predicting what could happen between the two assets.
Betting On Bitcoin To Overtake Gold
In an X post, Samson Mow once again reiterated support for BTC, but this time around, the Bitcoin maximalist is pitching it against gold. According to Mow’s statements, BTC is expected to be ‘exponential gold’, a statement that speaks to how high the JAN3 CEO expects the BTC price to go.
Explaining the reason behind giving BTC this title, Mow explains that he expects that the digital asset will eventually surpass gold. As mentioned above, the gold market cap is already more than 20 times higher than the Bitcoin market cap; the cryptocurrency will have a lot of growing to do. However, Mow remains unfazed by this.

Taking into account the current Bitcoin market cap, as well as the total supply of the digital asset, rising enough to surpass gold’s $35.5 million market cap would put the BTC price well above $1.6 million. Given that the Bitcoin price is currently trending around $67,000 at the time of this report, it would translate to a 2,500% increase to do this.
Always Bullish On BTC
Samson Mow’s advocacy for Bitcoin did not just start recently, as his company, JAN3, which was founded back in 2022, is focused on expanding access to BTC. Through his company, Mow has pushed to further BTC’s growth and adoption by making it easier for users to get into the digital asset.
Outside of adoption, the founder is also very bullish on the BTC price. Back in January 2026, Mow unveiled his BTC predictions for the year, sparking a lot of interest. As he explained, he expects the BTC price to reach as high as $1.33 million per coin.
Other predictions include at least one country finally launching Bitcoin Bonds, as well as billionaire Elon Musk making a big play for the cryptocurrency. Also, Strategy’s stock price (formerly MicroStrategy) is expected to reach $5,000, and last but not least, BTC is expected to eventually outperform metals such as gold.
