Finder analyses expert predictions each quarter. We conducted our most recent survey in October 2025, in which our panel of 22 crypto industry specialists shared their thoughts on how Bitcoin will perform through 2035.
All prices in this report are denominated in US dollars.
On average, our panellists think Bitcoin (BTC) will be worth $138,300 by the end of 2025, down from the $145,167 predicted in our July 2025 report.
Looking further ahead, they see the price of BTC rising to $391,794 by year-end 2030 and $726,200 by the close of 2035.
Bitcoin's price is expected to rise to $138,300 by year-end 2025, according to the average prediction from Finder's panellists.
Our most bullish panellists see BTC trading at $188,000 by the end of 2025, while our most bearish panellist sees it dropping well below where it is now, reaching $90,000 by the end of the year.
Our panellists also predict BTC will hit $391,794 by 2030 and $726,200 by 2035. The panel is far less bullish than last quarter, when the long-term prediction came in at $458,647 for 2030 and $1.02 million for 2035.
Josh Fraser, the cofounder of Origin Protocol, is our most bullish panel member and expects BTC to close out 2025 at $188,000, buoyed by a structural supply-demand imbalance.
Bitcoin could near $200K by the end of 2025 as exchange-traded fund (ETF) inflows continue to exceed new issuance, creating a structural supply-demand imbalance. Compared to gold, Bitcoin offers superior portability, verifiable scarcity and declining issuance, making parity a credible long-term benchmark.
Sathvik Vishwanath, the CEO of Unocoin Technologies, is similarly bullish with his prediction that BTC will end 2025 at a value of $180,000.
The current price reflects fair market value relative to liquidity, adoption and macro risk sentiment. Regulatory developments are a key factor influencing short-term volatility, but long-term fundamentals remain bullish.
Joseph Raczynski, a Futurist at JT Consulting & Media, believes we'll see BTC reach $151,000 as institutions see the value of BTC.
Institutions are just able to start getting involved. It's just the beginning!
John Hawkins, head of the Canberra School of Government and resident crypto skeptic, gives one of our lowest predictions at $90,000 and says BTC has failed to become a significant payment instrument.
Bitcoin has failed to become a significant payment instrument (at least in the legal economy) and failed to become a reliable store of value. It remains a speculative bubble, and while I have no idea when it will burst, its lack of any underlying value means price falls are more likely than rises.
The average peak price our panellists predict Bitcoin will hit at some point in 2025 is $149,794, with some predicting it will climb as high as $200,000.
The average lowest price our panellists predict Bitcoin will hit at some point in 2025 is $101,750, with some predicting it will fall as low as $85,000.
Ben Ritchie, the managing director of Alpha Node Global, is the most bullish member for BTC's 2025 outlook. He believes we'll see BTC crest $200,000 as it gains broader acceptance as a store of value for institutional and sovereign treasuries.
Our Bitcoin outlook is driven by fixed supply, rising institutional demand and broader acceptance as a store of value for institutional and sovereign treasuries. We believe further US interest rate cuts will continue to support price action into the year's end.
Craig Cobb, a trader at the Grow Me Co, sees BTC possibly hitting $185,000 in 2025 and hitting a new all-time high as the charts continue to tick up.
As a trend following trader, I just follow the current trend, and with Bitcoin, it is up on the daily, weekly and monthly charts. Keeping it simple, it looks higher.
The majority of our panel says now is a good time to buy Bitcoin.
To be exact, 59% think Bitcoin is a buy at its current price, while 23% believe it's a good time to hold the asset. Close to one in five (18%) think it's time to sell.
Kadan Stadelmann, the CTO at Komodo Platform, believes it's time to buy BTC as there are at least three months left in this bull market.
Considering Bitcoin touched $110,000 already, and there's still at least three months left in this bull run, it's easy to see it going significantly higher before the end of 2025. If we continue to follow history, I expect the peak around Q1 of 2026 and a bear market to follow.
Shubham Munde, a senior research analyst at Market Research Future, also says BTC is a buy, off the back of institutional adoption.
The post-halving cycle historically drives prices up significantly. Another reason can be attributed to the institutional adoption, such as major finance and wealth managers. Moreover, BTC is becoming a globally accepted store of value and hedge against flat inflation.
Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, is also in the buy but says that this bull run may be showing up a new cycle developing for BTC.
This cycle has been different from previous cycles, possibly because of institutional adoption. If the dollar demand stays constant and the supply halves, the price would naturally double. In previous cycles, it's gone up by a lot more than that, partially driven by overenthusiasm. If the institutions are dampening that effect, we could see BTC's trajectory become simpler from now on: A doubling of the price once every four years.
Mitesh Shah, the founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, is bullish on BTC's future:
The bullish outlook for Bitcoin is predicated on the convergence of three powerful forces: a supportive macroeconomic environment, a fundamental shift in market structure driven by institutional adoption and a recent, healthy purging of speculative excess.
Ruslan Lienkha, chief of markets at YouHodler, says it's time to hold, but says the current cycle is lacking the spark of previous runs.
Previous growth cycles were driven by innovations such as DeFi, NFTs and institutional adoption, which brought in fresh capital and speculative interest. Currently, the market lacks comparable internal drivers to spark renewed momentum.
Half of our panel members (50%) think Bitcoin is currently underpriced.
The remaining cohort is also split between 27% saying BTC is priced fairly and 23% saying it's overpriced.
Independent advisor, Chloe White, believes that BTC is underpriced as "macro-financial conditions, particularly the Fed's policy direction, continue to drive BTC price action in the short to medium term."
Nicole DeCicco, CEO of CryptoConsultz, says that BTC is currently underpriced and its current price doesn't reflect its value.
Bitcoin is entering a new phase of maturity, where its role as a long-term strategic asset is becoming harder for investors to ignore. Add in the post-halving supply constraints and the increasing credibility of Bitcoin-based financial products like ETFs, and the upside potential becomes very real. Volatility will remain part of the picture, but the long-term trajectory looks solid.
>Rouge International & Rouge Ventures' MD Desmond Marshall says BTC is fairly priced, as the US seemingly is directing the crypto market at the moment.
The US is directing all the moves into the crypto space, making it known to everyone, even grandmothers. His Trump Media, World Liberty, Trump Media and Technology Group hold a very significant sum of BTC, making him one of the largest whales. What the US is doing is using any political opportunity to squeeze the price for a low buy. (With what China, Russia are doing, there is no shortage of such incidents.) US focus is still on the debt, hence it may take a year or so to focus more on crypto, and during which time, allow commercial or private banks to start messing around with ETFs or professional-level products, hoping this will smooth the pathway for future legislation for more retail banks.
John Murillo, chief business officer at B2BROKER, says BTC is overpriced:
My Bitcoin price projections reflect a scenario-based view grounded in macro trends, regulatory momentum and adoption curves. For the 2025 target of $99K, I factored in the post-ETF institutional inflows, continuing tightening of post-halving supply and the likelihood of partial regulatory clarity in the US. My view on the current price is that it's still discounting long-term utility and policy normalisation — we're in a phase where Bitcoin is transitioning from speculative to strategic, and the market hasn't fully priced that in yet.
When asked how recent regulatory proposals in the US, such as the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act, affect investor confidence in Bitcoin, almost all of the panellists see regulation having a positive impact on investor confidence. Specifically, 50% say regulations will slightly increase confidence, with a further 45% saying it will significantly increase confidence.
Bilal Hammoud, the CEO of Ndax, says increased regulation will significantly increase confidence in BTC as, "There is no clear regulatory framework for Bitcoin in the US. The Spot market is limited to Fincen license and anti-fraud and manipulation."
Daniel Keller, the CEO of InFlux Technologies, says that while the US is already fairly well regulated in regards to BTC, some clarity in terms of IRS guidelines would significantly increase confidence in the BTC marketplace.
Bitcoin, in the US market, is already highly regulated, especially with the passing of the GENIUS Act. The most pressing regulatory gap currently is how the IRS will write clear guidelines for reporting BTC holdings.
Johnny Gabriele, the founder of Daedalus, says that regulations regarding DATs would help slightly with regard to confidence:
In the US, DATs have come under scrutiny recently. I think we need stronger rules around reporting and transparency.
While the majority of the panellists think that BTC would benefit from regulation, they're fairly split on the likelihood that the US will achieve meaningful regulatory clarity for Bitcoin by the end of 2025.
Just over a combined half (55%), say that meaningful regulations are either somewhat (45.45%) or very likely (9.09%) in 2025. The remaining panel members say it's somewhat unlikely to happen in 2025 (45.45%).
