Bitcoin Will Reach $225,000 By Year's End, Says Veteran US Investment Bank

In a recent investor note, H.C. Wainwright & Co., founded in 1868, predicts a significant Bitcoin price increase. The organization has raised its 2025 Bitcoin price prediction from $145,000 to $225,000, citing historical tendencies, macroeconomic data, and rising regulatory and institutional considerations.

“We estimate BTC will reach a cycle high of $225,000 by YE2025,” the business said, citing market cycles and a possible more friendly US digital-asset regulatory environment in 2025 under a new government.

H.C. Wainwright's report outlines numerous key drivers of Bitcoin's ascent. The expanded availability of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US might attract more institutional investments.

Additionally, the investment bank's models anticipate a market background that improves with global liquidity and will reduce regulatory overhang. H.C. Wainwright warns that macroeconomic circumstances, notably M2 money supply, which has fallen since October, affect the prediction.

Though predicting a six-figure price by 2025, H.C. Wainwright admitted that Bitcoin's journey to $225,000 would be difficult. The bank warned that 20-30% drawdowns are frequent during bull markets in the research. BTC may retrace to mid-$70,000 in early 1Q25 before restarting its climb.

If Bitcoin hits $225,000 per coin, H.C. Wainwright estimates a $4.5 trillion market cap—25% of gold's $18 trillion. This scenario raises levels by 113%. The note includes a stunning possibility not in its main forecast:

“Our new 2025 price target does not account for the possibility that the US government may adopt BTC as a federal treasury reserve asset next year. We think BTC might surpass our basic case price objective if implemented.”

H.C. Wainwright predicts Bitcoin's dominance will drop to 45% by 2025 from 56%. That assumption leads the business to estimate that the crypto industry will grow from $3.6 trillion now to $10 trillion by 2025.
