Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has said it is “very likely” that Bitcoin will reach between $300,000 and $400,000 by 2030.

Speaking on Fox Business Network’s Varney & Co. on Thursday, the crypto entrepreneur also said the United States was moving in the right direction on crypto legislation following a meeting at the White House.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday hosted crypto executives and traditional finance leaders at the White House and urged lawmakers to move forward with the Clarity Act. Bitcoin surged after the news and was recently up 10% over the past day after moving above $72,000 per coin.

“I think over the next couple of years — if I say 2030 — I think it’s very likely we’ll see $300,000 and $400,000 Bitcoin and we’ll see how it goes,” Armstrong said.

He added that the policy backdrop matters because digital-asset firms have been pushing for clearer rules on whether tokens are treated as securities, commodities or payment stablecoins. “Just yesterday, we had this meeting with the president and the top regulators at the SEC and CFTC and that was the big topic of conversation — there was a big sense of urgency from this administration: let’s get Clarity done, let’s get it over the line,” he said.

A number of lawmakers had hoped to vote on the Clarity Act in August, but after a delay, a vote is now expected in September.

The long-awaited bill would create a framework for distinguishing between digital assets that are securities, commodities or payment stablecoins, legislation the crypto industry has long sought.

Trump on Wednesday called on lawmakers to advance the bill, describing it as a “very, very powerful” piece of legislation.

The Clarity Act has been deadlocked for much of 2026 as the banking lobby clashed with crypto executives over stablecoin yield. Some banks warned they could lose deposits if crypto companies pay customers overly generous rewards on the stablecoins they hold.

Armstrong dismissed concerns from banks and said several had praised the legislation.

“There’s actually a number of banks who’ve come out and endorsed the Clarity Act,” he said. “Most banks recognize that it gives them new powers that allow them to grow their business with this new technology, which is great. There’s still a few holdout banks, I would say, that are against it.”
