Bitcoin Forecasters Estimate Value at $185,000 According to Galactic Experts
Bitcoin Predicted to Reach $150,000 in 2025
In an exciting development for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, analysts from Galaxy Research have predicted that Bitcoin could exceed $150,000 by the first quarter of 2025, with a potential to surge up to $185,000 by the end of the year [2]. This bullish forecast aligns with other predictions for Bitcoin's price in 2025, which see it reaching anywhere from about $130,000 up to over $180,000 by year-end [1][4].
This optimistic outlook is part of a broader set of cryptocurrency market predictions, including strong growth in Dogecoin and Ethereum alongside Bitcoin [2]. Other analysts and experts share similar optimism. For example, Canary Capital’s CEO stated there is a greater than 50% chance Bitcoin hits $150,000 in 2025 [4].
The growth of Bitcoin in 2024 is attributed to both record inflows and Bitcoin price appreciation. As of December 2024, the total AUM for spot Bitcoin ETFs stands at $106 billion [6]. By 2025, this figure is predicted to reach $250 billion [1].
Bitcoin is expected to be among the top performers on a risk-adjusted basis among global assets in 2025 [5]. In fact, it is already the 3rd best performing asset on a risk-adjusted basis [6]. The growth of Bitcoin has been faster than other asset classes, including the S&P 500.
Despite the optimism, it's important to note that extremely high price levels (like $1 million in 2026) would likely signal serious economic instability rather than purely positive conditions [5].
Bitcoin-based exchange-traded products are 19% behind the AUM of physical gold funds, a year after being approved in the U.S. [3]. This indicates a significant potential for growth in the coming years.
In summary, based on the Galaxy Research forecast and corroborating analyst opinions, Bitcoin exceeding $150,000 in the first half of 2025 is a well-supported prediction, though contingent on continuing bullish market conditions [2][4]. As we move into 2025, the trend of faster growth for Bitcoin is expected to continue.
With the predicted bullish market conditions for Bitcoin, analysts also anticipate strong growth in other cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum, making investing in technology-driven finance a potentially lucrative opportunity in 2025. The Canary Capital’s CEO, like Galaxy Research analysts, sees a greater than 50% chance that Bitcoin will reach $150,000 in 2025, putting Bitcoin on par with assets like gold in terms of potential returns.
