Bitcoin News Update: Analysts Predict Institutional Buying to Drive Bitcoin to $200K by 2025

Bitcoin Price Forecast Strengthens as Experts Anticipate Major Surge in 2025

Industry experts and market analysts are expressing renewed confidence in Bitcoin’s future, predicting notable price increases by the end of this year and throughout 2025. Michael Saylor of MicroStrategy and financial author Robert Kiyosaki both anticipate that

could climb to $150,000 or even $200,000 by December 2025. Meanwhile, a crypto strategist has linked a possible rally in November to lunar phases.

Saylor, whose firm currently owns 640,808 BTC worth $73.6 billion, reaffirmed his optimistic outlook in a CNBC interview, referencing consensus among equity analysts and MicroStrategy’s ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions. The company added 390 BTC in late October, increasing its total holdings, though its stock (MSTR) has dropped nearly 13% this month, reflecting Bitcoin’s recent decline from its $126,000 high. Kiyosaki, on the other hand, highlighted the importance of emotional resilience in investing, suggesting that short-term fears can obscure long-term opportunities. His $200,000 projection has resonated with retail traders, especially during October’s market turbulence, as reported by

Global political events have also played a role in Bitcoin’s price movements. The White House’s confirmation of a Trump-Xi Jinping meeting on October 30 raised hopes for easing trade tensions and led to a 1.6% increase in Bitcoin’s price to $111,390, according to

. Previously, threats of tariffs from Trump had caused a market selloff, but the reduction in tensions and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut have helped stabilize the market mood. In a separate development, Trump’s announcement that South Korea would be allowed to build nuclear submarines highlighted broader geopolitical changes, though the direct effects on crypto markets remain limited, according to .

Crypto analyst Drazzzzz has associated Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations with lunar cycles, predicting a bullish phase as the First Quarter Moon on October 29 signals the start of a new “bright moon” period. Historical trends indicate Bitcoin often declines during “dark moon” phases but tends to reverse course around new moons. With the next New Moon set for October 21, Drazzzzz expects a 30–45 day window for a potential local peak, suggesting November could see increased volatility and gains if the pattern continues, as noted by

Underlying market factors also point to a possible recovery in the middle of the cycle. Although Bitcoin is currently trading at $111,000—below its July peak—on-chain activity is increasing and exchange reserves are falling, indicating accumulation. Institutional investments remain consistent, but liquidity issues and concentrated liquidations present short-term challenges. JP Morgan analyst Reginald L. Smith stated that Bitcoin mining revenue and EBITDA could improve in the fourth quarter of 2025, with companies like Riot Platforms and IREN Limited reporting strong cash operating profits, according to

.

Overall, the market outlook is cautiously positive. The Fear & Greed Index is currently in a neutral range, and better-than-expected CPI results have lifted investor confidence. While a prolonged downturn could put pressure on firms such as MicroStrategy—which was recently downgraded to junk status by S&P Global—analysts generally interpret the current decline as a mid-cycle correction rather than a reversal of the broader trend, as reported by
