Bitcoin being referred to as digital gold is nothing new, as proponents have long expected the digital asset to replicate gold’s rise. Currently, the market value of gold is more than 20 times that of BTC, but this has not changed the expectations that BTC will eventually be the bigger asset. This time, it is Bitcoin supporter Samson Mou who once again compares and predicts what could happen between the two assets.
Betting on Bitcoin to Advance Gold
In an X post, Samson Mou once again reiterated his support for BTC, but this time, the maximum Bitcoin puts it against gold. According to Mou’s statement, BTC is expected to be “exponential gold”, a statement about how much the JAN3 CEO expects the price of BTC to rise.
Explaining his reason for giving BTC this title, Mou explains that he expects the digital asset to eventually outperform gold. As mentioned above, the gold market cap is already more than 20 times the Bitcoin market cap; cryptocurrency will grow a lot. However, Mov ignores this.

Given Bitcoin’s current market cap as well as the total supply of the digital asset, enough growth to push the gold market cap above $35.5 million could push the price of BTC above $1.6 million. Considering that the price of Bitcoin is currently around $67,000, it will increase by 2,500%.
Always Bullish on BTC
Samson Mou’s promotion of Bitcoin has not only started recently, as his company JAN3, founded in 2022, has focused on expanding access to BTC. Through his company, Mou contributed to the further growth and adoption of BTC by making it easier for users to access the digital asset.
Apart from acceptance, the founder is also very bullish on the price of BTC. Back in January 2026, Mou revealed his BTC predictions for the year, which generated a lot of interest. As he explained, he expects the BTC price to reach $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 (formerly MicroStrategy) stock price is expected to reach $5,000 and last but not least, BTC is expected to eventually outperform metals such as gold.
