Bitcoin Price And Predictions 2025
Bitcoin Predictions
With an eye on the rearview mirror, we have collated our key bitcoin predictions for 2025 and the road ahead:
- Price Will Peak at $150k – $200k
- A Nation State or U.S. State Will Adopt Bitcoin As A Strategic Reserve
- AI Agents Will Become Prominent In Bitcoin Trading
Bitcoin Price
In December 2023 we predicted, as part of the bitcoin price predictions for 2024, that “the bitcoin price would rise to $150k to $200k over the next one to two years”.
We are sticking with that prediction.
Based on the previous bull runs, the price high is 12 to 18 months after the halving event. On that basis, the price high will be in the third quarter of 2025 (August – October).
Beyond this point, the 4-year cycle begins to repeat itself, and Bitcoin enters a bearish phase and the crypto winter, a period of extended price decline in the cryptocurrency market.
That said, we predict that the structural changes in bitcoin and macro changes linked to the Trump administration will disrupt the “normal” cycle. Bitcoin could peak before the third quarter, or it could peak as late as 2026.
Bitcoin Strategic Reserve
Trump has indicated that he will create a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. However, it’s unlikely that the necessary legislation and political consensus will be in place in 2025. At best, it’s more likely that Trump will stick with his commitment not to sell the 200,000 bitcoin that the U.S. currently holds.
On that basis, the probability of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in 2025 is not high. However, the probability is greater than zero.
That said, Brazil has recently introduced a bill to create a strategic reserve, and Japan is also considering the same. Argentina is considering making bitcoin legal tender, and Thailand is conducting a study. Others include Russia, Switzerland and the UAE.
From a U.S. perspective, the creation of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is far more likely to happen at the state level first. Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania are among ten U.S. states that have already proposed some form of a reserve.
AI Agents Trading Bitcoin
AI Agents will become prominent in 2025.
They are autonomous programs powered by AI that interact with blockchains to perform tasks, make decisions, and optimise outcomes.
AI agents enhance predictive analytics by analysing large datasets in real-time. Using historical stock prices, corporate earnings reports, and social media sentiment, they can identify patterns and predict market movements more accurately.
AI agents will disrupt traditional markets and will outperform traditional investment vehicles particularly in short term trading.
They will manage portfolios in 2025 and form the basis of the new digital age and that of trading.
