How high can Bitcoin go in 2025?

Bitcoin price rose above the highly anticipated $100,000 threshold late on December 4 after President-elect Donald Trump announced he had picked crypto-friendly Paul Atkins to head the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Trump has expressed optimism about the crypto industry, previously saying, “I want it to be mined, minted and manufactured in the United States,” and has also suggested creating a “strategic reserve” of the world’s leading digital currency, Bitcoin.

In recent years, Bitcoin has attracted significant growing interest among institutional investors, helping to cement its emerging status as a mainstream asset and defying skepticism in some parts of the financial world.

With Trump returning to the White House, the future looks brighter for Bitcoin. How high will Bitcoin rise in 2025 after crossing $100,000? Newsweek asked analysts for their opinion. Here’s what they said.

As a simple answer to your question: $200,000 by the end of 2025. Institutional inflows will continue.

Based on our power law model, Bitcoin should reach a minimum of $157,346, with a target of $315,323 – as you can see, this model predicted the range quite accurately.

The BTC Power Law model plots Bitcoin’s historical prices on a power law curve and scales over time to predict upper and lower price bounds.

Fitting a power law equation to logarithmically transformed data captures growth trends and speculative extremes.

For the current cycle, the model suggests a potential range of $157,346 to $315,323, while the power law base level is estimated at $79,000. In the past, peaks were often three to four times the base level.

It is impossible to predict where Bitcoin will go in 2025. There are so many variables that affect price that no one can say for sure where it might go.

Our official assessment is that Bitcoin will likely approach $200,000 by the end of 2025.

The key investment narratives for 2025 remain the continued adoption of Bitcoin in corporate treasuries and government reserves. This is likely to further exacerbate the ongoing supply shock that already emanated from the Bitcoin halving in April 2024.

We expect a similar number of net inflows into global Bitcoin ETPs next year, which should also exacerbate this Bitcoin supply shortage.

Additionally, the significant decline in US regulatory uncertainty that we expect for cryptoassets in 2025 will also provide significant tailwinds for altcoins, i.e. everything outside of Bitcoin.

We believe that the period of underweighting major altcoins like Ethereum over Bitcoin will end in 2025 and there is a high probability that altcoins will significantly outperform Bitcoin next year.

An acceleration in key themes such as stablecoin issuance and real-world asset tokenization is also likely to provide significant tailwind to cryptoassets with high exposure to these themes, such as Ethereum.

From a macroeconomic perspective, continued loose monetary policy with weak growth in 2025 should also provide a tailwind for Bitcoin and cryptoassets.
