Jan van Eck, CEO of VanEck, revealed at Bitcoin 2024 that over 30% of his portfolio is in Bitcoin (BTC). He described BTC as an evolving asset class, likening its current stage to a “teenage stage.” Van Eck believes Bitcoin is on the verge of attracting various investor classes.
He questioned the rationale behind selling Bitcoin if one believes in its long-term potential. Van Eck also speculated that Bitcoin could reach $3 million per coin if adopted as a global reserve asset. His personal stake underscores his confidence in BTC’s future.
This announcement coincides with a keynote address by former U.S. President Donald Trump at the conference in Nashville, Tenn., on July 27.
