Bitcoin investments have become a popular strategy for wealth creation on a global scale, offering long-term benefits that can serve as a post-retirement cushion for holders relying on their Bitcoin investment returns.
Market data has now revealed the amount of Bitcoins sufficient for retirement to kick off smoothly, and the figure appears attainable for most individuals in certain parts of the world.
According to a Bitcoin researcher and investor, Smitty, most market players do not need as much as 1 Bitcoin to retire over the next decade. Per the researchers’ Bitcoin retirement calculation model, “Most people in most countries still need less than 1 BTC for 2035 [retirement].”
Smitty, however, notes that for individuals retiring this year in certain countries, between one and ten Bitcoins is enough to retire on.
The investors’ data displayed in a radial chart took the data of individuals aged 5-75 returning in 2025 to 2055, from 96 countries.
 
“Based on each country’s average income level, adjusted for inflation (7% M2 expansion), and of course utilizing the highly reliable power law support line (5th percentile) as the BTC price model…MOST people in MOST countries still need less than 1 BTC for 2035 and out. If retiring this year, most countries need between 1-10 BTC.” Smitty wrote in a post shared on X.
Although adoption of Bitcoin has increased over time, a handful of countries appear to favor retirement for Bitcoin holders. Per the investors’ observation, around 0.023-0.13 BTC, 0.26-1.5 BTC, and 0.07-0.39 BTC is the estimated amount needed for retirement in El Salvador, Switzerland, and Portugal, respectively.
At report time, Bitcoin is trading at $114,939, with losses over the last 7 days, and has increased slightly by 1.09%.
