Bitcoin Could Reach $200,000 By Mid-2025 After ‘Mild’ Price Pullbacks

In a December 17 research, Bitfinex experts said increased institutional adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and optimistic technical indications might boost the top cryptocurrency above $200,000 by mid-2025. The research expects 2025 price revisions to be ‘remain mild.’

Bitcoin pullbacks could be mild in 2025

Bitcoin reached the psychological $100,000 price milestone this month, bringing its market worth to little over $2 trillion. However, the newest Bitfinex Alpha research suggests BTC has tremendous growth potential until 2025.

We expect minor 2025 corrections due to institutional inflows. The strongest rallies have occurred post-halving. Minimum price projections by mid-2025 are $145,000, rising to $200,000 under favorable circumstances.

Indeed, institutional Bitcoin ETF inflows have risen steadily, notably following Donald Trump's November election victory. A recent investigation found that US spot ETFs contain more BTC than Satoshi Nakamoto's wallet.

The research predicts long-term bullishness but warns of Q1 2025 price turbulence. These setbacks should be minor and brief. Each Bitcoin halving cycle has seen smaller price adjustments, according to the report:

Previous cycles saw relatively confined declines before mean reversion to new ATHs once Bitcoin entered price discovery after a halving. In 2017, the greatest adjustment was 33.2 percent; in 2020, 27.1 percent.

The possibility of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve is unique to this Bitcoin cycle. Blockstream CEO Adam Back says a reserve may push Bitcoin values into the seven-figure area.

Bitwise's Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, said a strategic BTC reserve could boost the asset's price to $500,000. Experts fear that if the US creates a BTC reserve, other governments would follow, producing a domino effect that might drive up prices.

In related developments, Satoshi Hamada proposed a strategic BTC reserve for Japan. BTC is down 3.7% in 24 hours to $103,953 at press time.
