Finder analyses expert price predictions each quarter. We conducted our most recent survey in April 2024, in which our panel of 31 crypto industry specialists shared their thoughts on how Bitcoin will perform through 2030.
All prices mentioned in this report are denominated in US dollars.
On average, our panelists think Bitcoin (BTC) will be worth $109,141 before 2024 is out. They think it will then rise to $150,996 by 2025 and $567,489 by 2030.
Bitcoin's price is expected to rise to $109,141 by year-end 2024, according to the average prediction from Finder's panellists.
Our most bullish panelists see BTC trading at $268,000 by the end of 2024, while our most bearish panelist sees it well below where it is now ($20,000) by the end of the year.
Our panellists also predict BTC will hit $150,996 by 2025 and $567,489 by 2030. They were more bullish than in our most recent survey from January 2024, when the long-term prediction for 2025 came in at $122,688 and $366,935 for 2030.
One of our more bullish panellists, Pedro Febrero, VP of Web3 for RealFevr, thinks the price of BTC will hit $200,000 by the end of 2024, saying that:
"The recent Bitcoin price movement shows the impact of the newly launched exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Now that a new ATH has been achieved, I suspect more buyers will flood the market and push $BTC even higher."
Nick Forster, the cofounder of Lyra, is similarly bullish, saying that BTC could close out 2024 at $180,000, adding that factors including the halvening and the Bitcoin ETF have caused a paradigm shift for investors.
"It seems irresponsible to not allocate 1% [to] 3% of a portfolio to crypto via the ETF. [We] will continue to see fund managers do this, even for risk-averse clients."
At the other end of the spectrum is John Hawkins, senior lecturer at the University of Canberra, who sees the price of Bitcoin falling to $20,000 before the year is out.
"[Bitcoin] remains a speculative bubble. In over a decade, it has failed to become the accepted means of payment it was designed to be. To do this, it would need a much [more stable] value. But the paradox is that if the price was steady, the gamblers — who are most of its holders — would lose interest and sell, driving down the price."
The average peak price our panellists predict Bitcoin will hit at some point in 2024 is $121,764 with some predicting it will climb as high as $285,000.
The average lowest price our panellists predict Bitcoin will hit at some point in 2024 is $50,138, with some predicting it will fall as low as $20,000.
Jeremy Britton, the CFO of BostonTrading.co, believes we'll see BTC reach $285,000 at some point in 2024.
"This is the only planet with Bitcoin. Elon Musk could fly to Mars and find a million tonnes of copper or mine an asteroid to get a trillion Troy ounces of gold, and the commodity prices would plummet. Nothing else in the galaxy is more scarce than Bitcoin. Bitcoin's top price is infinite because fiat cash printing is unlimited."
Sathvik Vishwanath, the Founder of Unocoin Technologies PVT LTD, is also quite bullish, as he thinks we'll see BTC crest $150,000 in 2024.
"Analysis of historical price trends, market sentiment, adoption rates, and macroeconomic factors such as inflation and geopolitical events informed the Bitcoin price predictions. BTC's current price is seen as underpriced due to its growing adoption as a hedge against inflation and increasing institutional interest. These factors suggest a bullish trajectory for Bitcoin's value, supported by its limited supply and growing demand from both retail and institutional investors."
Josh Fraser, the Co-founder of Origin Protocol, is a bit less bullish but still thinks we'll see BTC hit $150,000 at its peak in 2024.
"Bitcoin ETFs will continue to bring billions of dollars in new inflows to Bitcoin in 2024. The halving will further limit the [number] of BTC on the market, acting as a major price catalyst. In the long-term, Bitcoin will outcompete gold as a more accessible, divisible and transferrable asset, leading to my $1.1M BTC price prediction by 2030."
Kadan Stadelmann, the CTO at Komodo Platform, thinks BTC is in for a bumpy year — with a lowest price prediction of $39,450 and a peak prediction of $133,000.
"The combination of increased institutional demand for Bitcoin and the momentum around the halving is likely to propel BTC prices higher during the latter half of 2024 and possibly through the early half of 2025."
Henry Robinson, the president & cofounder at Decimal Digital Currency, also believes BTC investors should prepare for volatility, as he believes BTC's price could drop well below its current price.
"Demand from ETFs has proven tremendous with no signs of stopping. The entire wealth management world has been on-ramped to Bitcoin."
The majority of our panelists believe it's a good time to buy BTC.
To be exact, 61.3% think Bitcoin is a buy at its current price, while 32.3% believe it's a good time to hold the asset. Only 6.5% think it's time to sell.
Andy LaPointe, the Crypto Product Manager of CryptoWisdom.com, believes it's time to buy BTC.
"The halving event, [along with] the purchase of Bitcoin by EFT managers, will cause increased scarcity in the marketplace. In addition, institutional investors and investment advisors now have a regulated Bitcoin product they can allocate into model portfolios. Also, as more businesses and governments across the globe recognise Bitcoin as a payment option or investment, global demand will continue to place buying pressure on Bitcoin."
Jeremy Eng Tuck Cheah, an associate professor of decentralised finance at Nottingham Trent University, is one of the few in the sell camp and sees the halving as an opportunity to sell the asset before it comes back to earth.
"There is a lot of hype around halving, and so the irrational exuberance will dissipate after the event and return to a more sensible level."
Close to half (47%) of our panelists feel that Bitcoin is currently selling at a discount.
40% feel that Bitcoin is currently priced fairly, and 13% say it's overpriced.
Founder and CEO of Omnia Markets, Inc., Mitesh Shah, says that BTC is currently underpriced and is poised to rally.
"Bitcoin is currently exhibiting two historically unprecedented phenomena that are likely contributing to significant price appreciation and volatility. [...] The consistent growth of daily net inflows into the spot ETFs is a huge trend. This is significant because large institutions typically require extended periods to make a decision and deploy capital, suggesting the potential for further increases this summer and beyond."
Julian Hosp, CEO of Cake Group, believes BTC is currently overpriced due to "Bitcoin ETF hype."
If you're betting that BTC will tick over $100,000, a sizable chunk of a panel (42%) say that will only come if more capital flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Increased institutional adoption (35%) is also something our panel sees as a core driver for BTC to successfully push to $100K.
Senior legal counsel for Mercuryo, Adam Berker, says "institutional adoption leading to BTC ETF inflows" is one factor that could drive a bull trend.
Lee Smales, professor of finance at the University of Western Australia, concurs, adding that "significant demand from institutional investors and inclusion in ETFs is a prime driver."
The majority of our panel (57%) see the good times rolling long into the future, predicting that the bull run will last into 2025 and beyond.
Martin Froehler, CEO of Morpher, sees greener pastures ahead, saying, "2024 is an election year, which is usually a time for stimulus and over-spending. All this is bullish for scarce assets like real estate, gold, and Bitcoin."
Managing director of Rouge International and Rouge Ventures, Desmond Marshall, is more pessimistic and sees BTC crashing back to earth before the month is out as scammers look to take advantage of newbs.
"[The] halving will likely scare a lot of first-time amateurs who may be scammed or got on the bandwagon before the halving [...] there will be many scammers/exchanges running off with all-time highs before the halving, causing further distrust of the token and probably a strong hit by SEC/Govt around the world to impose new laws."
About a third (30%) of the panel see Bitcoin reaching its post-April 2024 halving peak sometime in the second half of 2024, with a touch over a quarter (27%) saying it will come in the second half of 2025.
Less than 1 in 10 (7%) think you'll see BTC going for less than $100,000 between the April halving and the next halving event (sometime in 2028).
Two large tracts of the panel see Bitcoin being worth between $176K and $200K (24%) or $201K and $225K (21%).
Based on the current price of BTC and historical movements, Ryan Grace, the head of tastycrypto, sees Bitcoin going between $176K and $200K.
"While the sample size is small, if we look at returns over prior halving cycles, the magnitude of return has fallen by about 70% each cycle. If we assume a similar outcome this cycle, a 150% return is realistic, from the price on the date of the halving to its cycle peak."

Finder surveyed 31 fintech specialists in late March to early April 2024. Panelists can answer as many or as few questions as they like, meaning the number of responses received varies by question. Twenty-nine panelists gave their price prediction for BTC by year-end 2024, 2025, and 2030. Panelists may own some cryptocurrencies, including BTC. All prices are listed in USD per BTC.
Changes to methodology: In 2021, this research was conducted using the simple mean of all answers supplied to Finder. From 2022, we switched to using the truncated mean, with the top and bottom 10% of responses removed to attain a more consistent result. Any 2021 results quoted in this analysis have also been re-calculated using the truncated mean.
