Expert Ratings For Helmerich & Payne

<p><strong>Ark Invest </strong>CEO <strong>Cathie Wood </strong>has been a vocal bull for the cryptocurrency sector for years, specifically for leading cryptocurrency <strong>Bitcoin </strong>(CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), which she recently said could be helped by the incoming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41928272/cathie-woods-ark-invest-foresees-crypto-industry-boost-under-incoming-trump-administration">White House administration</a>.</p>
<p>Wood has shared price targets for Bitcoin over the years, including a high of $3.8 million for BTC by the year 2030. Here's a look at how much a small investment in Bitcoin today could increase over time if Wood's various price targets are reached in the future.</p>
<p><strong>Following Wood Into Bitcoin: </strong>With Bitcoin<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41778425/bitcoins-all-time-high-a-groundbreaking-milestone-and-strong-post-election-rally-coming-ex"> hitting all-time highs </a>after the 2024 presidential election, big questions remain about how high the leading cryptocurrency can go and how long it will take to reach various milestones like $100,000.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Wood laid out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/02/30660447/cathie-woods-ark-sees-bitcoin-joining-trillion-dollar-club-by-2030-here-are-its-bea">her price targets </a>for Bitcoin based on a bear case, base case and bull case for the year 2030. Wood also added a new bull case that includes the potential highest price Bitcoin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/03/37902973/cathie-wood-says-bitcoin-could-skyrocket-to-3-8m-by-2030-thanks-to-institutional-gr">could reach by 2030</a> if companies allocated 5% to Bitcoin.</p>
<p>With Bitcoin trading at $89,384.76 at the time of writing, an investor could buy 0.00112 BTC today with $100. Here is a look at how much that $100 would be worth in the future under Wood's various price targets.</p>
<ul>
<li>Bear Case, $258,500: $100 today would be worth $289.52, up 189.5%</li>
<li>Base Case, $682,000: $100 today would be worth $763.84, up 663.8%</li>
<li>Bull Case, $1,480,000: $100 today would be worth $1,657.60, up 1,557.6%</li>
<li>Bullish Case, $3,800,000: $100 today would be worth $4,256.00, up 4,156.0%</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, a small investment would turn into a sizable return if Wood&#8217;s base or bullish predictions come true. Even the bearish price target hitting would more than double the investment from today.</p>
<p>While there&#8217;s no guarantee that any of the price targets will hit, the exercise shows how a small investment in cryptocurrency could add up over time.</p>

<p><strong>What's Next: </strong>Wood recently reiterated her price targets in a CNBC <a href="https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1857483221857865879">interview </a>while highlighting how Ark Invest was early to investing in Bitcoin.</p>
<p>"We were the first public asset manager to gain exposure to Bitcoin in 2015 at $250," Wood said.</p>
<p>Wood said that even with Bitcoin trading around $90,000, the company believes there is a long way to go.</p>
<p>The fund manager said that getting regulatory relief with a new administration is one of the most important things for Bitcoin. Wood also sees Bitcoin being viewed as a new asset class, leading to more institutions and asset allocators wanting to invest in the top cryptocurrency.</p>
<p>Wood&#8217;s Ark Invest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/01/36605838/ark-invest-ceo-cathie-wood-projects-a-single-bitcoin-could-be-worth-1-5m-by-2020-probabili" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">was also one of several companies&nbsp;</a>to have a Bitcoin ETF approved by the SEC with its&nbsp;<strong>Ark 21 Shares Bitcoin ETF&nbsp;</strong>(BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).</p>
<p>Wood's most recent $3.8 million price target might be one of the biggest from a fund manager and among the most bullish bets on cryptocurrency. The target came from the approval and early success of Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;With this institutional green light that the SEC has provided, kicking and screaming though it did, the analysis we&#8217;ve done is that if institutional investors were to allocate a little more than 5% of their portfolios to bitcoin, as we think they will over time, that alone would add $2.3 million to the projection I just gave you,&#8221; Wood said.</p>
<p>Adding $2.3 million to the $1.5 million leads to a new price target of $3.8 million for 2030.</p>
<p>The approval of<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> the Bitcoin ETFs </a>led Wood to say in an interview that &#8220;the probability of the bull case has increased.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wood and Ark Invest aren't just betting on the success of Bitcoin with its cryptocurrency holdings and the ETF, the company is also investing in crypto-related companies.</p>
<p>The flagship<strong> Ark Innovation ETF </strong>(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>) <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><a href="https://www.ark-funds.com/funds/arkk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has </a><strong>Coinbase Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>) as its third-largest holding, accounting for 9.5% of its assets. <strong>Robinhood Markets </strong>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) is the fund's sixth-largest holding, accounting for 5.0% of its </span>assets.</p>
