Bitcoin Forecasted to Reach $150,000 by CoinShares Analyst
In the world of cryptocurrency, the future of Bitcoin remains a hot topic of discussion. As we approach the end of 2025, various experts and analysts have shared their predictions for the digital currency's price.
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, has forecasted that Bitcoin's price will range between $80,000 and $150,000 by 2025. Interestingly, he also anticipates that Bitcoin's market cap could grow to 25% of gold's market value, potentially pushing Bitcoin's price to $250,000 in the long term. However, Butterfill has suggested that a surge to $250,000 by the end of 2025 is unlikely.
In July 2025, a panel of 24 crypto experts forecast an average Bitcoin price of $145,167 by the end of the year, up from $135,048 predicted in April. They suggest a possible peak of around $162,353, with some optimistic estimates reaching up to $250,000, and a low around $87,618.
Another analyst using a "power law" model predicts Bitcoin could reach between $200,000 and $300,000 by Christmas 2025 if historical patterns hold. This model anticipates a cycle top in this range before a possible correction in early 2026.
Some technical analysis and market sentiment as of August 2025 indicate Bitcoin recently surged past $116,000, with a near-term target around $150,000. Supporting this optimistic outlook is institutional accumulation and production cost-based valuations suggesting a "fair value" closer to $167,800.
However, other forecasts such as from Changelly offer a more conservative view, projecting Bitcoin prices around $112,500 to $119,000 with some fluctuations in late 2025. These forecasts reflect a somewhat neutral to mildly bearish market sentiment in technical indicators at this time.
The consensus among experts seems to centre around Bitcoin ending 2025 around $145,000. However, some models and analysts project a strong rally to as high as $300,000, reflecting a range of optimistic to moderate scenarios based on different analytical approaches and market sentiments in mid-2025.
Improved regulatory conditions in the U.S., as predicted by James Butterfill, could drive Bitcoin to new highs. Despite the varying predictions, it is clear that the future of Bitcoin remains a fascinating and dynamic landscape for investors and observers alike.
Bitcoin's price, as predicted by various experts, is anticipated to range from $87,618 to $300,000 by the end of 2025, with an average expectation of around $145,000. This volatile outlook suggests a dynamic future for Bitcoin in the realm of finance, as technology continues to shape its value and potential.
