It’s hard to believe, but the year has already come to an end and we are entering 2025. Looking back on last year, it was a monumental year for Bitcoin. A year that completely changed the trajectory of Bitcoin.
Beginning with the approval of the spot BTC ETFs in the US, that would eventually allow Wall Street to finally participate in the market. Not to be overshadowed, the BTC halving took place soon after. A monumental event, yet it’s likely we still haven’t seen its full supply shock affect the market yet. Then finally, Trump became the first Bitcoin-elected president and campaigned that he would start the US National Bitcoin Reserve. Bitcoin reached an all-time high of $108k, and it seems like it is impossible not to be bullish about Bitcoin’s future.
It truly feels like all of the cards are lining up perfectly for Bitcoin, and something magical is about to take place.
2024 was a year that changed the trajectory of Bitcoin’s future, but 2025 will be remembered forever.
Each year, one of the articles that I enjoy writing the most is my Bitcoin predictions for the New Year. No one knows exactly what will happen, even including me. But it definitely is fun to speculate about.
The only certainty is that long-term Bitcoin investors who held onto their coins have seen life-changing financial gains.
Without further delay, let’s dig into my Bitcoin predictions for 2025.
1. There Will Be a US Bitcoin National Reserve
The news that took over the cryptocurrency the summer of 2024 was the announcement by Donald Trump that he would start a US National Bitcoin Reserve if elected US President. This statement made everyone excited, but there were a lot of “ifs” that needed to happen in order to make it a reality.
The first was that Trump needed to be elected President. He was.
Secondly, Trump needed to actually follow through on his promise and make the reserve real. This is where we are now.
For one moment, let’s imagine that Trump doesn’t create the reserve. The truth is that Bitcoin would still be much better than it was during the Biden Administration which was literally trying to deal the death blow to this industry. Trump simply not attacking Bitcoin would be extremely bullish.
However, not only was Trump elected. But the Republicans also won the Senate and Congress, which means it will be much easier to create the reserve. Increasing the odds of this happening exponentially. I believe that not only will the US start the Bitcoin reserve, but it will exceed most of our expectations. They will announce a plan to buy BTC on a regular basis.
The most important thing out of this entire scenario is that once the US does this, nations around the world will have no other choice but to do the same. If this happens, Bitcoin Nation-State Game Theory will take place, and the price of BTC will go up much higher than any of us have dreamed of.
2. A large United States Corporation Will Start a Bitcoin Balance Sheet.
Toward the end of 2024, one of the biggest Bitcoin news stories was that Microsoft’s board of directors was having a vote for whether to put Bitcoin on their balance sheet. They would eventually vote against it, but this is still incredible progress from where Bitcoin was just a few years ago.
After all, there are few companies that are larger than Microsoft. The problem is that nobody wants to be first.
Yes, it is true that both Microstrategy and Tesla have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. But you have to remember how these companies are viewed by other corporations. Microstrategy is likely viewed as a huge gamble by Michael Saylor who is blinded by his conviction. And Elon Musk is a controversial leader that beats to his own drum.
Everyone gets the Bitcoin price that they deserve.
Once the first large company buys Bitcoin. A company such as Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, or Amazon. That is when the dominoes will begin to fall. Similar to how other countries will follow the US example if they buy Bitcoin. Other companies will follow the example of these highly respected companies as well.
We have become accustomed to the weekly X posts by Michael Saylor, sharing that Microsoft has once again purchased several thousands of Bitcoin.
But imagine when 5, 10, 20, or 50 of the largest companies are always doing that every week. That is when the supply shock will truly be felt and will cause the price of Bitcoin to go parabolic.
I believe that we will see at least 3 major companies in the United States announce that they have put Bitcoin on their balance sheet in 2025.
3. Another Nation-State Will Start a National Bitcoin Reserve
It is a game of musical chairs. Once Donald Trump made the announcement of his Bitcoin intentions of the US, the game began all over the world.
In fact, it’s very likely that other countries have already begun to front-run the United States before they can make it official. There have been strong rumors that a country in the middle-east has already
El Salvador was the first, but it was the announcement from the US that truly sent shockwaves across the globe. I believe that we will likely see at least 5 countries announce that they have created their own Bitcoin reserve. There is a high chance that one of these countries will be an economic power.
Bitcoiners have been saying it for years, but it is actually true. There isn’t much Bitcoin left. Once Nation-States enter the game, it will be changed forever. If this happens the question isn’t how high Bitcoin’s price will go. Rather it will be, why would you ever get rid of this asset? This is how Bitcoin reaches a price of several million per coin.
4. Bitcoin Will Reach a Price of Over $250k
Finally to the prediction that most will be interested in the most; the price prediction.
If nothing changes from the current situation that Bitcoin sits in today, I think it’s very possible that its price will at least double to $200k, and likely go up to $250k. In my opinion, that is conservative and very possible.
However, if my other predictions above happen, then the sky is the limit for Bitcoin. It will sound crazy but $500k to $1 million would become a real possibility by the end of the year.
No one knows how high or low Bitcoin’s price will go. The only thing that is certain is that Bitcoin will be extremely volatile to the upside, and also to the downside. With all of that said, I believe there is a very good chance that Bitcoin’s price will be over $250k by the end of the year. And likely much higher than that.
The year 2025 will be a year that is never forgotten in Bitcoin’s history.
