Several key companies believe that Bitcoin prices will increase in 2025 based on a number of common factors.
Bitcoin (BTC) hit new highs above $100,000 in December 2024, and key companies involved in the cryptocurrency sector believe prices will rise further in 2025.
Next, we’ll look at four predictions from top companies.
In a December report, crypto asset manager Bitwise provided that BTC could be worth $200,000 by the end of 2025, while Ethereum (ETH) could reach $7,000.
Bitwise expects several trends to keep Bitcoin prices high, including continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, more buying by governments and corporations, and a reduction in BTC issuance following the halving of Bitcoin rewards. miners in April 2024.
The company believes BTC could even be worth $500,000 or more if the US government establishes a strategic Bitcoin reserve. Under existing proposals, the United States would take 1 million BTC from the supply over four years, representing increased demand for the currently available Bitcoin supply.
Bernstein, a research and brokerage firm, believes that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 in 2025. Although that figure is in line with other expectations, it is notable that Bernstein has maintained the same prediction for several months.
The company first predicted $200,000 in June, when Bitcoin was worth just $66,000. He reiterated the prediction in Novemberwhen Bitcoin was worth $92,000.
Bernstein’s November report said several factors could contribute to a higher price, including pro-crypto regulations under the upcoming US presidency of Donald Trump, the creation of a US Bitcoin reserve, increased demand for ETF and continued buying by major Bitcoin holder MicroStrategy.
Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex believes Bitcoin will be worth between $140,000 and $150,000 by mid-2025, according to a December 17 comment to La Calle.
Bitfinex analysts noted “strong institutional demand” in the current bull market, pointing to the accumulation of BTC in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the spot market.
Analysts noted that the years after Bitcoin’s halving historically have the strongest price rallies. While that could point to higher gains in 2025, they acknowledged that the market may already be mid-cycle, pointing to a peak in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.
VanEck Asset Manager wait that Bitcoin will reach $180,000 in 2025 and Ethereum (ETH) could be worth more than $6,000.
VanEck’s timeline suggests the market will reach its first peak during the first quarter of 2025. After that first peak, Bitcoin prices could fall by 30% before recovering in the fall and setting record levels again in the fourth quarter, said.
VanEck noted that several key signals, including increased widespread speculation, could indicate when the market is approaching its next peak.
