Bitcoin price dips will be short-lived in 2025, driven by institutional demand and ETF inflows, according to a Dec. 17 report by Bitfinex. Analysts project a minimum price of $145,000 by mid-2025, with a best-case target of $200,000.
Volatility is expected in Q1 2025, but broader trends indicate continued growth, supported by $36 billion in inflows to U.S.-based Bitcoin ETFs, which now hold over 1.13 million BTC. Analysts also predict potential highs of $339,000 or $290,000 by early 2026, depending on market cycles.
Long-term predictions, like matching gold’s market cap, suggest Bitcoin could eventually reach $900,000, according to Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures. Meanwhile, speculation grows over the Trump administration creating a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, which could disrupt traditional four-year cycles. Pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis plans to propose legislation requiring the U.S. to hold Bitcoin for at least 20 years.
