Bitcoin may reach $150K or $400K in 2025 based on key factors

Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO:BTC) price potential in 2025 could range between $150,000 and $400,000, according to a report by Blockware Solutions.

The report, published on December 28, highlights three potential scenarios that could influence Bitcoin’s price movement next year.

In the “bear case” scenario, Bitcoin could see a 58% rise, reaching $150,000 from its current price of $94,981.

This outcome would be likely if former President Donald Trump does not implement his Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan.

“Trump will likely issue an executive order on his first day in office to designate Bitcoin as a US reserve asset,” said Jack Mallers, founder and CEO of Strike.

The bear case is also probable if the Federal Reserve continues to reverse its stance on interest rate cuts, or if long-term Bitcoin holders begin selling their assets aggressively.

The “base case” scenario predicts a Bitcoin price of $225,000.

This scenario assumes that the US government converts its Bitcoin holdings into a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

It also assumes the Federal Reserve proceeds with expected interest rate cuts, and that corporate adoption of Bitcoin continues at its current pace.

In the “bull case” scenario, Bitcoin could rise to $400,000.

This would require a more dovish Federal Reserve stance, rapid corporate adoption of Bitcoin, and major companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, or Tesla adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

However, Microsoft recently voted against adding Bitcoin to its balance sheet.

Despite this, Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn stated that the US government is unlikely to buy Bitcoin in 2025, though it may build its stockpile from its existing holdings.

At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin price was $93,556.66.
