Financial experts and cryptocurrency industry analysts predict that the leading digital currency, Bitcoin ( BTC ), will see significant price growth throughout 2025. At press time, the price of Bitcoin had reached $104,110, after mounting a 10.28% rally since the beginning of the year. BTC price year-to-date (YTD) chart.

Notably, this bullish forecast exceeds the consensus estimates that experts provided in similar reports back in October of 2024, January of 2024, and October of 2023 . To be more precise, the last survey, dated October 2024, saw an average price target of $113,364. This optimistic outlook given by the researchers is driven by a myriad of factors — with the election of Donald Trump , supply constraints, and favorable macro conditions stemming from Fed rate cuts being the most commonly given catalysts.

While the average price target for BTC given by the analysts sits at $161,105, the lowest price target is just $60,000 — while the most bullish forecast sees the cryptocurrency reaching a price of $275,000 by the end of the year. Joseph Raczynski, a Futurist at JT Consulting & Media, gave the highest price target — explaining that: “Never since I’ve been watching Bitcoin (2011) has the golden trifecta aligned. US regulatory clarity is monumental and is the first trigger. Second, a discussion around buying BTC for nation-states’ strategic reserves could be the biggest catalyst. Tertiary to those is pure institutional adoption across every country and financial organisation.” Bitcoin (BTC) price predictions for year-end 2025, 2030 and 2035.

At the upper end of the bullish spectrum, some predict that Bitcoin prices could reach as high as $300,000 during the year — while the most bearish prediction sees it dropping to as low as $39,500. However, looking at the big picture, the average peak price that analysts gave was $185,000, while the average lowest price was $80,167 — two marks that indicate significant volatility is still expected from the leading cryptocurrency. 80% of analysts consider Bitcoin prices fair or undervalued Of the 25 polled analysts, only 5 consider Bitcoin to be overpriced — in contrast, 32% or 8 consider the price to be fair, while a near-majority of 48% or 12 analysts actually consider the asset to be undervalued at present. “Is Bitcoin (BTC) overpriced, priced fairly, or underpriced?”.

The Origin Protocol co-founder said that: “Bitcoin remains undervalued. Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value, and I expect Bitcoin’s market capitalisation to eclipse that of gold (~$17T) in the next decade. This would bring Bitcoin’s price to around $800,000. Given Bitcoin’s favorable attributes compared to gold (divisibility, accessibility, transferability), Bitcoin’s market cap will far surpass gold over the long term.” Once all is said and done, it’s clear that, while a majority of analysts are bullish, even the most optimistic among them predict significant volatility in terms of Bitcoin prices in 2025.
