In the ever-changing crypto landscape, Bit remains the focal point of market attention. Many investors and industry participants are curious about its future price trajectory, especially the Bit price outlook for 2025.

Here are the 2025 Bit price forecasts 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

CoinShares' Head of Research James Butterfill believes that the Bit price could fluctuate between $80,000 and $150,000 in 2025. He also points out that from a long-term perspective, Bit has the potential to reach $250,000, but this target will not be achieved by 2025. As for the $80,000 lower bound he expects, Butterfill says it would be the result of the failure to realize Trump's promised support for crypto policies, "Disappointment and skepticism about Trump's proposed crypto policies could trigger a major market correction."

2. Galaxy Digital: Break $150,000 in the first half, reach $185,000 by year-end

Galaxy Digital's Head of Research Alex Thorn expects Bit to break $150,000 in the first half of this year and reach $185,000 in the fourth quarter, with Bit's market cap reaching 20% of gold. Thorn says, "Adoption by institutions, corporations, and nations will propel Bit to new heights in 2025. Since its inception, Bit has appreciated faster than any other asset class, especially the S&P 500 and gold, and this trend will continue in 2025. Bit will also reach 20% of gold's market cap."

3. Standard Chartered: Reach $200,000 by year-end

Standard Chartered's Head of Digital Assets Research Geoffrey Kendrick says Bit's price will double. He also forecasts that Bit will reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.

The bank notes that since the beginning of this year, institutions have been buying large amounts of Bit through the US spot Bit ETF and "Bit whale" MicroStrategy, with a net purchase of 683,000 Bit. Of this, 245,000 Bit flowed in within a few weeks after the US election. It is expected that institutional capital inflows will continue to maintain or exceed the pace of Bit inflows in 2024, and MicroStrategy's Bit purchases should "reach or exceed 2024 purchase levels".

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

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

Powell said, "Historically, when gold ETFs entered the market, the inflow of funds increased sharply in the years after the first year - I think we can expect the same for Bit ETFs." He added, "I believe that as Bit and cryptocurrencies become core asset allocations for institutional asset managers, we will see more inflows in the coming years."

However, Powell remains cautious about corrections in the crypto market, as in previous market cycles, Bit has seen sharp rises and then dramatic drops in value within a few months. He noted, "Cryptocurrencies are still a cyclical industry."

5. Nexo: Double in a year, reach $250,000

Nexo's Chief Product Officer Elitsa Taskova believes that Bit will more than double in a year, reaching $250,000, and that the overall crypto market cap will surpass gold in the long run.

"We expect Bit to more than double in a year, reaching $250,000," Taskova said. She added that in the long run, say in the next ten years, she believes the entire crypto market cap will surpass gold.

"These forecasts are consistent with current trends and social signals: people are increasingly recognizing Bit as a store of value, more Bit and crypto-related ETPs will be more widely adopted," she added, supportive macroeconomic conditions, such as major central banks' easing of monetary policy, will also boost Bit, "as the US is leading in crypto-asset deployment, interest rate decisions and inflation dynamics may still be key drivers of Bit prices in 2025."

6. Matrixport: Reach $160,000

Crypto financial services firm Matrixport says Bit could reach $160,000 in 2025. "Sustained demand for Bit ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and expanding global liquidity all support this prospect," said Matrixport's Head of Research Markus Thielen.

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

University of Sussex Finance Professor Carol Alexander believes Bit's price could reach $200,000 next year and trade around $150,000, plus or minus $50,000, by the summer of 2025.

"I'm more bullish than ever on 2025," Alexander said. "Bit's price could easily reach $200,000, but there's no sign of volatility diminishing." "By the summer of 2025, I expect it to be trading around $150,000, plus or minus $50,000," Alexander said. She stated that supportive US regulation will boost Bit, but high leverage trading will also lead to violent price fluctuations. Alexander has accurately predicted Bit's price on multiple occasions, forecasting it would reach $100,000 by 2024, which has come true.

8. Nano Labs founder Jack Kong: Optimistic forecast of Bit reaching $300,000 in 2025

Nano Labs (Nasdaq:NA) founder Jack Kong has publicly stated that a conservative estimate for Bit in 2025 is over $150,000, and an optimistic forecast is $300,000. In the long run, he believes Bit surpassing gold or even $1 million is a high probability event. Compared to gold, Bit has stronger network effects and liquidity, as well as technological attributes, making it the best anchor currency for the digital age and the age of artificial intelligence!

Kong had publicly estimated in 2019 that Bit would surpass $100,000 within five years when it was around $4,000.

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

Bit Mining Chief Economist Yang Youwei forecasts that by 2025, the Bit price will reach between $180,000 and $190,000, but he also remains cautious about the possibility of price corrections. "Bit's price in 2025 may see a significant upward trend, but there may also be large corrections. During market turbulence, such as a major stock market crash, Bit could temporarily drop to around $80,000. However, the overall trend is expected to remain bullish." He stated that the factors driving Bit's rise in 2025 include lower interest rates, Trump's support, and increased institutional adoption. Downside risks include US-China tensions, global capital market turmoil, potential unexpected restrictive measures, and a possible delay in the Federal Reserve's easing cycle.

10. Bernstein: Will reach $200,000

Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein point out that multiple catalysts could drive the Bit price to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.

In a recent report, Bernstein analysts led by Gautam Chhugani pointed out that the market is entering a stage that may challenge Bitcoin skeptics. The company initially set a target of $200,000 in June when the Bitcoin price was around $66,000. They believe that institutional demand and potential regulatory changes will support this growth. The key to this bullish outlook is the expectation that pro-crypto candidates will be appointed to influential positions in the U.S. government. Potential candidates include Bitcoin advocates such as Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, and investor Scott Bessent. The analysts said that regardless of the specific candidates, the market is likely to remain optimistic.

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

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

11. Arthur Hayes: Reaching $250,000 by year-end

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

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

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

VanEck, in its latest report, predicted that Bitcoin will reach $180,000. The report states that the cryptocurrency bull market will reach a mid-cycle peak in the first quarter of 2025 and set a new high 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, reaching up to $212,500

Research firm K33 calculated that Bitcoin may reach its cycle peak in mid-January, just before Trump's inauguration (January 20th), based on the historical data of cryptocurrency prices exhibiting a 318-day cycle, which the company sees as a "natural area to reduce risk and realize short-term profits." If history is any guide, Bitcoin could set a new high in a matter of weeks, providing an opportunity to lock in gains.

K33 used two methods to predict Bitcoin's price, based on past cycle peaks potentially reaching $146,000, and based on market capitalization growth, potentially reaching $212,500. However, K33 research chief Vetle Lunde noted that the market may be overestimating the impact of crypto-friendly policies from the new government, and the rally may peak before the inauguration in mid-January.

14. Bitwise Investments: 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, outlining 10 crypto predictions for the year ahead.

This includes all major cryptocurrencies reaching new highs, with Bitcoin reaching $200,000, Ethereum reaching $7,000, and Solana growing more than twice to $750. The Bitcoin rally will be driven by increased ETF inflows in 2025, as large diversified companies have just completed due diligence on products, and investors are more comfortable increasing their investments, and ETF inflows are often higher in the second year than 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 politicians' plans to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves is also expected to help drive up Bitcoin's price, with the number of countries holding Bitcoin expected to increase from 9 to 18 by 2025.

15. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki: Predicts it will reach $350,000 again

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," has long been a Bitcoin bull, touting Bitcoin as an alternative to fiat currency.

He predicted last June that the Bitcoin price would reach $350,000 by August 2024. He also endorsed Ark Invest's long-term price prediction of $2.3 million for Bitcoin earlier last year. Recently, he posted on the X platform reiterating his bullish stance on Bitcoin, stating that Bitcoin has the potential to serve as a store of value and hedge against economic instability. He encouraged his followers to prioritize Bitcoin and keep it in their personal 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 alleged manipulative practices, he remains confident in Bitcoin's future, predicting that the Bitcoin price will surge significantly to $350,000 by 2025.
