Amid the ever-changing landscape of cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin has always been the focus of market attention. Many investors and industry participants are curious about its future price trend, especially the price trend of Bitcoin in 2025.

Below is the Bitcoin price prediction for 2025 shared by leaders and industry experts from companies such as CoinShares, Galaxy Digital, Maple Finance, Matrixport, Bemstein, etc., compiled by MetaEra for you.

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

James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, believes that the price of Bitcoin could fluctuate between $80,000 and $150,000 in 2025. He also pointed out that in the long run, Bitcoin has the potential to reach a price of $250,000, but this goal will not be achieved in 2025. As for the lower limit of the $80,000 range he expects, Butterfill said that it would be the result of Trump's promised support for cryptocurrency policies not being realized, and "disappointment and skepticism about Trump's proposed crypto policies could trigger a major market adjustment."

2. Galaxy Digital: Exceeded 150,000 US dollars in the first half of the year and reached 185,000 by the end of the year

Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, expects Bitcoin to break through $150,000 in the first half of this year and reach $185,000 in the fourth quarter, with a market value of Bitcoin reaching 20% of gold. Thorn said, "Institutional, corporate and national adoption will push Bitcoin to new heights in 2025. Since its inception, Bitcoin has appreciated faster than all other asset classes, especially the S&P 500 and gold, and this trend will continue in 2025. Bitcoin will also reach 20% of the market value of gold."

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

Geoffrey Kendrick, head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said the price of Bitcoin will double. In a recent report, he also predicted that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.

The bank pointed out that since the beginning of this year, institutions have bought a large amount of Bitcoin through the US spot Bitcoin ETF and "Bitcoin giant" MicroStrategy, with a net purchase of 683,000 Bitcoins. Among them, the inflow of funds for 245,000 Bitcoins occurred in the weeks after the US election. It is expected that institutional capital flows this year will continue to maintain or exceed the rate of inflow into Bitcoin in 2024, and MicroStrategy's Bitcoin purchases should "reach or exceed the purchases in 2024."

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

Maple Finance co-founder and CEO Sid Powell is targeting a Bitcoin price between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025.

Powell said, "Historically, when gold ETFs come to market, after the first year, inflows increase dramatically in the following years - I think we can expect the same thing to happen with Bitcoin ETFs." He also added, "I think we will see more inflows in the following years as Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies become core asset allocations for institutional asset managers."

Still, Powell remains wary of a crypto market pullback, as previous market cycles have seen Bitcoin surge in value for a few months before plunging in value. “Crypto remains a cyclical industry,” he noted.

5. Nexo: Doubled in one year, reaching $250,000

Nexo Chief Product Officer Elitsa Taskova believes that Bitcoin will more than double to $250,000 within a year and that the entire crypto market will surpass gold in market value in the long run.

Taskova believes that "we expect Bitcoin to more than double in a year to $250,000." She added that in the long run, such as in the next decade, she believes that the market value of the entire crypto market will exceed that of gold.

“These forecasts are consistent with current trends and social markers: growing recognition of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, more Bitcoin and crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs) will be more widely adopted,” she said, adding that supportive macroeconomic conditions, such as monetary policy easing by the world’s major central banks, would also boost Bitcoin. “With the United States leading the way in cryptocurrency-related capital deployment, interest rate decisions and inflation dynamics are likely to remain key factors influencing Bitcoin prices in 2025.”

6. Matrixport: $160,000

Cryptocurrency financial services company Matrixport said Bitcoin could reach $160,000 by 2025. "Continued demand for Bitcoin ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and expanding global liquidity all support this outlook," said Markus Thielen, head of research at Matrixport.

7. Carol Alexander, professor at the University of Sussex: 150,000 to 200,000

Carol Alexander, a professor of finance at the University of Sussex, believes that the price of Bitcoin could reach $200,000 next year, and by the summer of 2025, it will be trading around $150,000, with a fluctuation of $50,000.

"I'm more bullish than ever about 2025," Alexander said. "Bitcoin could easily hit $200,000, but volatility shows no signs of abating." "By summer 2025, I expect it to trade around $150,000, plus or minus $50,000." Alexander said supportive U.S. regulation will boost Bitcoin, however, the price will fluctuate wildly due to high leverage trading. Alexander has accurately predicted the price of Bitcoin many times. Last year she speculated that Bitcoin would reach $100,000 in 2024, and it did.

8. Jack Kong, founder of Nano Labs: Optimistically predicts that Bitcoin will reach $300,000 by 2025

Jack Kong, founder of Nano Labs (Nasdaq:NA), once publicly stated that by 2025, Bitcoin is conservatively expected to exceed $150,000, and optimistically expected to reach $300,000. In the long run, it is highly likely that Bitcoin will exceed gold or exceed $1 million. Compared with gold, Bitcoin has more network effects and liquidity, and also has technological attributes. It is the best anchor currency in the digital age and the artificial intelligence era!

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

9. Bitcoin Mining: 180,000 to 190,000

Bit Mining Chief Economist Yang Youwei predicts that by 2025, the price of Bitcoin will reach between $180,000 and $190,000, but he is also cautious about a possible price correction. "Bitcoin prices may see a sharp upward momentum in 2025, but there will also be occasional sharp corrections. During periods of market volatility, such as a stock market crash, Bitcoin may temporarily fall to around $80,000. However, the overall trend is expected to remain bullish." He said that factors for Bitcoin's rise in 2025 include lower interest rates, Trump's support, and increased institutional adoption. Downside risks include tensions between China and the United States, chaos in global capital markets, potential unexpected restrictions, and a possible delay in the Fed's rate cut cycle.

10. Bemstein: $200,000

Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein pointed out that several catalysts could push Bitcoin prices 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 firm initially set a $200,000 target in June, when Bitcoin was around $66,000. They believe that institutional demand, as well as potential regulatory changes, will support this growth. Key to this bullish outlook is the expectation that candidates who support cryptocurrency will be appointed to influential positions in the U.S. government. Popular candidates include Bitcoin advocates such as Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick and investor Scott Bessent. Analysts say that regardless of the specific candidate, the market is likely to remain optimistic.

Another important factor is the possible creation of a national Bitcoin reserve, a promise made by Trump during his campaign. Senator Cynthia Loomis has introduced a draft bill that would seek to capture 5% of the total Bitcoin supply over the next five years, which could amount to nearly $100 billion at current prices.

Additionally, Bernstein highlighted the growing demand for Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as large buying plans by companies like MicroStrategy, which intends to raise $42 billion over the next three years for Bitcoin acquisitions.

11. Arthur Hayes: 250,000 by the end of the year

Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes made a bold prediction for Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market . He discussed what we might see in the next 12 months given Trump's policies and possible changes in the global economy. Arthur Hayes said that nationalist economic policies are not a phenomenon unique to the United States, and other countries such as China and Japan also focus on domestic economic growth. He believes that this trend could create a favorable environment for Bitcoin as people seek decentralized assets instead of globalization.

He predicts that with growing institutional interest and an influx of capital from the traditional financial sector, the price of Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.

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

VanEck predicts in its latest report that Bitcoin will reach $180,000. The report states: The cryptocurrency bull market will reach a mid-term peak in the first quarter of 2025 and set a new high in the fourth quarter. Bitcoin is expected to be worth around $180,000, Ethereum will trade at more than $6,000, Solana will exceed $500, and Sui will exceed $10.

13. K33 Research: May reach its peak in mid-January, with a maximum of 212,500

Research firm K33 calculates that Bitcoin could reach a cyclical peak in mid-January, just before Trump’s inauguration on January 20, a prediction based on historical data of the cryptocurrency’s price moving in a 318-day cycle, which the firm sees as a “natural zone for reducing risk and realizing short-term profits.” If history is any guide, Bitcoin could hit new highs in a matter of weeks, providing an opportunity to lock in gains.

K33 uses two methods to predict the price of Bitcoin. Based on the past cycle peak, it may reach $146,000, and based on the market value growth forecast, it may reach $212,500. However, Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, pointed out that the market may overestimate the impact of the new government's cryptocurrency-friendly policies, and the rally may peak before the inauguration ceremony in mid-January.

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

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

This includes all major cryptocurrencies hitting new highs, with Bitcoin rising to $200,000, Ethereum reaching $7,000, and Solana more than tripling to $750. Bitcoin's rise will be driven by greater ETF inflows in 2025, as large, comprehensive companies have just completed product due diligence, investors are more comfortable increasing their investments, and it is not uncommon for ETFs to attract more money in the second year than in the first year.

In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor may no longer be hostile to the industry, which could lead to tens of billions of dollars flowing from 401(k) plans into crypto assets. A potential Bitcoin arms race sparked by U.S. politicians' plans to build a strategic Bitcoin reserve will also help push up Bitcoin prices, with the number of countries holding Bitcoin expected to increase from 9 to 18 by 2025.

15. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki: Again predicted to reach $350,000

Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," has long been a bitcoin bull, touting it as an alternative to hard money.

He predicted in June last year that the price of Bitcoin would reach $350,000 in August 24. He also agreed with Ark Invest's long-term price forecast of $2.3 million for Bitcoin at the beginning of last year. Recently, he reiterated his bullish stance on Bitcoin in a post on the X platform , pointing out that Bitcoin has the potential to serve as a store of value and a safeguard against economic instability. He encouraged his followers to put Bitcoin first and keep it in a private wallet instead of entrusting it to institutional products.

Kiyosaki further claimed that major financial institutions, including BlackRock, are suppressing the price of Bitcoin to allow large investors to accumulate funds at lower prices. Despite these alleged manipulations, he remains confident in the future of Bitcoin, predicting that the price will rise significantly to $350,000 by 2025.
