Amid the changing tides in cryptocurrency, Bitcoin remains the focus of market attention. Numerous investors and industry participants are curious about its future price trajectory, especially regarding Bitcoin's price direction in 2025.

Predictions for Bitcoin's price in 2025 shared by leaders and industry experts from companies like CoinShares, Galaxy Digital, Maple Finance, Matrixport, and Bernstein.

1. CoinShares: Range of $80,000 to $150,000.

James Butterfill, research director at CoinShares, believes that Bitcoin's price fluctuations in 2025 could range from $80,000 to $150,000. He also noted that from a long-term perspective, Bitcoin has the potential to reach a price of $250,000, but this target will not be achieved in 2025. As for the lower limit of the expected $80,000 range, Butterfill stated that would result from Trump's promised support for cryptocurrency policies not being realized, 'Disappointment and skepticism regarding Trump's proposed crypto policies could trigger significant market adjustments.'

2. Galaxy Digital: Breaking $150,000 in the first half and reaching $185,000 by the end of the year.

Alex Thorn, research director at Galaxy Digital, expects Bitcoin to break $150,000 in the first half of this year and reach $185,000 in the fourth quarter, with Bitcoin's market cap also reaching 20% of gold. Thorn stated, 'The adoption by institutions, enterprises, and nations will drive Bitcoin to new heights in 2025. Since its inception, Bitcoin's appreciation rate has surpassed all other asset classes, especially the S&P 500 and gold, and this trend will continue in 2025. Bitcoin will also reach 20% of gold's market cap.'

3. Standard Chartered Bank: Expected to reach $200,000 by the end of the year.

Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that Bitcoin's price would double. He also estimated in a recent report that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.

The bank noted that since the beginning of this year, institutions have made significant purchases of Bitcoin through U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs and 'Bitcoin whale' MicroStrategy, with a net purchase volume of 683,000 Bitcoins. Among these, 245,000 Bitcoins were purchased in the weeks following the U.S. election. It is expected that institutional fund flows this year will continue to maintain or exceed the pace of Bitcoin inflows in 2024, and MicroStrategy's Bitcoin purchases should 'match or exceed the amount purchased in 2024.'

4. Maple Finance: Range of $180,000 to $200,000.

Sid Powell, co-founder and CEO of Maple Finance, aims for Bitcoin's price to be between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025.

Powell stated, 'Historically, when gold ETFs enter the market, the inflow of funds sharply increases in the following years after the first year— I believe we can expect the same situation with Bitcoin ETFs.' He also added, 'As Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies become core asset allocations for institutional asset managers, we will see more funds flowing in over the coming years.'

Nonetheless, Powell remains vigilant about the pullbacks in the crypto market, as Bitcoin has historically seen significant rises followed by sharp declines within months during previous market cycles. He pointed out, 'Cryptocurrency remains a cyclical industry.'

5. Nexo: Doubling in a year, reaching $250,000.

Elitsa Taskova, Chief Product Officer at Nexo, believes Bitcoin will more than double in a year, reaching $250,000, and in the long term, the total market value of the entire crypto market will exceed that of gold.

Taskova believes, 'We expect Bitcoin to more than double in a year, reaching $250,000.' She added that in the long term, such as over the next decade, she believes the total market value of the entire crypto market will exceed that of gold.

'These predictions align with current trends and societal markers: people are increasingly recognizing Bitcoin as a reserve asset, and more Bitcoin and crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs) will be adopted more widely,' she added, noting that supportive macroeconomic conditions, such as major central banks around the world easing monetary policy, will also boost Bitcoin. 'Given that the U.S. is leading in capital deployment related to cryptocurrencies, interest rate decisions and inflation dynamics may still be key factors influencing Bitcoin's price in 2025.'

6. Matrixport: Reaching $160,000

Cryptocurrency financial services company Matrixport stated that Bitcoin could reach $160,000 by 2025. 'The ongoing demand for Bitcoin ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and expanding global liquidity all support this outlook,' said Markus Thielen, research director at Matrixport.

7. Professor Carol Alexander from Sussex University: Range of $150,000 to $200,000.

Professor Carol Alexander from Sussex University believes Bitcoin's price could reach $200,000 next year, and by the summer of 2025, its trading price will be around $150,000, fluctuating by $50,000.

'I am more optimistic about 2025 than ever before,' Alexander said. 'Bitcoin's price can easily reach $200,000, but there are no signs of reduced volatility.' 'By the summer of 2025, I expect its trading price to be around $150,000, fluctuating by $50,000.' Alexander stated that supportive regulations in the U.S. will boost Bitcoin; however, due to high leverage trading, Bitcoin's price will experience dramatic fluctuations. Alexander has accurately predicted Bitcoin's price several times. Last year, she guessed Bitcoin would reach $100,000 in 2024, and that indeed happened.

8. Jack Kong, founder of Nano Labs: Optimistically expects Bitcoin to reach $300,000 in 2025.

Jack Kong, founder of Nano Labs (Nasdaq:NA), has publicly stated that Bitcoin is conservatively expected to exceed $150,000 in 2025 and optimistically could reach $300,000. In the long term, it is highly likely that Bitcoin will surpass gold or even exceed $1 million. Compared to gold, Bitcoin has greater network effects and liquidity, along with technological attributes, making it the best anchoring currency in the digital and artificial intelligence era!

Jack Kong publicly estimated in 2019 that Bitcoin would exceed $100,000 within five years when it was around $4,000.

9. Bitcoin Mining: Range of $180,000 to $190,000

Yang Youwei, chief economist at Bit Mining, predicts that by 2025, Bitcoin's price will be between $180,000 and $190,000, but he is also cautious about potential price pullbacks. 'Bitcoin's price may see significant upward momentum in 2025, but there may also be substantial pullbacks. During periods of market volatility, such as a major stock market drop, Bitcoin could temporarily fall to around $80,000. However, the overall trend is expected to remain bullish.' He noted that factors driving Bitcoin's rise in 2025 include lower interest rates, Trump's support, and increased institutional adoption. Downside risks include U.S.-China tensions, turmoil in global capital markets, potential unexpected restrictions, and the possibility of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle being delayed.

10. Bernstein: Expected to reach $200,000.

Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein point out that several catalytic factors could drive Bitcoin's price to reach the target of $200,000 by the end of 2025.

In a recent report, Bernstein analysts led by Gautam Chhugani noted that the market is entering a phase that could challenge Bitcoin skeptics. The company initially set a $200,000 target in June when Bitcoin was priced around $66,000. They believe institutional demand and potential regulatory changes will support this growth. The key to this bullish outlook is the expectation that candidates supporting cryptocurrencies will be appointed to influential positions in the U.S. government. Popular candidates include Bitcoin advocates like Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, and investor Scott Bessent. Analysts say that regardless of who the specific candidates are, the market may remain optimistic.

Another important factor is the potential establishment of a national Bitcoin reserve, which is a promise made by Trump during his campaign. Senator Cynthia Lummis has proposed a bill draft aimed at acquiring 5% of Bitcoin's total supply within the next five years, which, at current prices, could amount to nearly $100 billion.

Furthermore, Bernstein highlighted the growing demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the substantial purchasing plans of companies like MicroStrategy, which plans to raise $42 billion for Bitcoin acquisitions over the next three years.

11. Arthur Hayes: Expected to reach $250,000 by the end of the year.

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes made bold predictions about Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. He discussed what we might see in the next 12 months considering Trump's policies and potential changes in the global economy. Arthur Hayes stated that nationalist economic policies are not unique to the U.S.; other countries like China and Japan also emphasize domestic economic growth. He believes that as people seek decentralized assets rather than globalization, this trend could create a favorable environment for Bitcoin.

He predicts that as institutional interest continues to grow and capital flows into traditional finance, Bitcoin's price could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.

12. VanEck: Reaching $180,000 by the end of the year.

VanEck's latest report predicts that Bitcoin will reach $180,000. The report states: The cryptocurrency bull market will peak in the first quarter of 2025 and set new highs in the fourth quarter. Bitcoin's value is expected to be around $180,000, Ethereum's trading price will exceed $6,000, Solana will exceed $500, and Sui will exceed $10.

13. K33 Research: May peak in mid-January, maximum of $212,500.

Research firm K33 calculates that Bitcoin could reach a cyclical peak in mid-January, just before Trump's inauguration (January 20), based on historical data showing cryptocurrency prices follow a 318-day cycle, which the company sees as a 'natural area for reducing risk and achieving short-term profits.' If history serves as a reference, Bitcoin may reach new highs within weeks, providing profit-locking opportunities.

K33 predicts Bitcoin's price using two methods, based on past cycle peaks, it could reach $146,000, and based on market cap growth predictions, it could reach $212,500. However, K33's research director Vetle Lunde pointed out that the market may overestimate the new government's friendly policies towards cryptocurrencies, and the rise may peak before the inauguration in mid-January.

14. Bitwise Investments: Prices will be above $200,000.

Bitwise Asset Management released a report in December 2024, written by Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan and Research Director Ryan Rasmussen, listing 10 crypto predictions for the coming year.

This includes all major cryptocurrencies reaching new highs, with Bitcoin rising to $200,000, Ethereum reaching $7,000, and Solana more than doubling to $750. Bitcoin's rise will be driven by larger ETF inflows in 2025, as large conglomerates have just completed product due diligence, giving investors more confidence to increase their investments, and it is not uncommon for ETFs to attract more funds in their second year than in the first.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor may no longer be hostile to the industry, which could lead to billions of dollars flowing from 401(k) plans into crypto assets. The potential Bitcoin arms race sparked by U.S. politicians planning to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves will also help drive up Bitcoin's price, with the number of countries holding Bitcoin expected to rise from 9 to 18 by 2025.

15. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki: Again predicting it will reach $350,000.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad', has long been a bull on Bitcoin, promoting it as an alternative to hard currency.

He had previously predicted last June that Bitcoin's price would reach $350,000 in August 2024. He also supported Ark Invest's long-term price prediction of $2.3 million for Bitcoin early last year. Recently, he reiterated his bullish stance on Bitcoin on the X platform, noting Bitcoin's potential as a store of value and a hedge against economic instability. He encourages his followers to prioritize Bitcoin and keep it in private wallets rather than entrusting it to institutional products.

Kiyosaki further claimed that major financial institutions, including BlackRock, are suppressing Bitcoin's price to allow large investors to accumulate funds at lower prices. Despite these so-called manipulations, he is confident about Bitcoin's future, predicting that by 2025, Bitcoin's price will significantly rise to $350,000.
