After an impressive rise in Bitcoin in 2024, cryptocurrency investors and industry leaders claim that they expect it to reach new highs in 2025.

In December, the world's leading cryptocurrency broke the $100,000 mark, setting a new record. This came after Donald Trump — who pursued a pro-crypto political agenda — won a historic election in November.

Trump's return to the White House has increased investment in cryptocurrencies and investor attention to Bitcoin.

Industry leaders and financial analysts expect Trump to promote a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets. During his election campaign, Trump promised to replace the current chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Gary Gensler, who has taken aggressive legal action against various cryptocurrency companies.

Gensler has agreed to leave the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2025. Trump also suggested that the US could create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, pooling funds derived from seizures of criminal activities.

Butterfill: Bitcoin could reach $150,000
James Butterfill, head of research for CoinShares, said that if the price of Bitcoin reaches $150,000, it would not be unreasonable to expect Bitcoin to be worth about 25% of the gold market, up from about 10% today. But that would be at a price range of $250,000.

Matrixport: Bitcoin, $160K
Matrixport, a financial services firm in the cryptocurrency industry, reported that Bitcoin could reach $160,000 by 2025. “This outlook is supported by continued demand for Bitcoin ETFs and favorable macroeconomic trends,” Markus told CNBC. Bitcoin is known to be highly volatile with the potential for corrections of between 70% and 80% from all-time highs. Thielen said that declines in 2025 will be “less pronounced.”

Nexus: 1 Bitcoin can be exchanged for 250 thousand dollars.
Other companies also report frightening figures, such as Standard Chartered, which predicts the growth of Bitcoin to 200 thousand dollars, Carol Alexander also 200 thousand dollars. While Nexus predicts an astronomical figure by exchanging 1 Bitcoin for the value of 250 thousand dollars.

“We see Bitcoin more than doubling to $250,000 within a year,” Taskova told CNBC, adding that in the long term — meaning by the next decade — she sees the entire cryptocurrency market capitalization surpassing that of gold.
