In a report published on December 17, analysts at cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex stated that a combination of rising institutional adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and bullish technical indicators could push the leading cryptocurrency as high as $200,000 by mid-2025. The report also predicts that any price corrections during 2025 are likely to ‘remain mild.’ Bitcoin Pullbacks To Be Mild In 2025 Earlier this month, Bitcoin crossed the psychologically significant $100,000 price level, pushing its total market capitalization to slightly above $2 trillion at the time of writing. However, according to the latest edition of the Bitfinex Alpha report, BTC still has significant potential for growth heading into 2025. Related Reading: Bitcoin On Track For $275,000? Analyst Cites Cup And Handle Formation The report highlights several technical indicators, including market value to realized value (MVRV), net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL), and the bull-bear market cycle indicator, which collectively suggest that the market still reflects bullish momentum and is far from hitting euphoric peaks. According to Bitfinex analysts, while diminishing returns might temper Bitcoin’s extraordinary growth seen in previous cycles, the cryptocurrency could still reach $200,000 under ‘favorable conditions.’ The report states: Our view is that any corrections in 2025 will remain mild, thanks to institutional inflows. Historically, post-halving years have seen the strongest rallies. Minimum price estimates stand at $145,000 by mid-2025, potentially stretching to $200,000 under favourable conditions. Indeed, institutional inflows into Bitcoin through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have shown a steady upward trajectory, especially after Donald Trump’s win in the November presidential election. A recent analysis revealed that US spot ETFs now hold more BTC than the wallet of Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. While the report projects a strong long-term bullish case, it cautions that some price volatility may emerge during Q1 2025. These pullbacks, however, are expected to be mild and short-lived. The report also notes that price corrections following Bitcoin halvings have been shrinking in size with each cycle: In previous cycles, once Bitcoin entered price discovery following a halving, corrections before mean reversion to new ATHs were relatively contained. In the 2017 cycle, the maximum correction was 33.2 percent, while the 2020 cycle saw a slightly smaller correction of 27.1 percent. Strategic Reserve May Extend BTC Gains One unique factor in this Bitcoin cycle is the speculation surrounding the potential establishment of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve. Such a reserve could drive Bitcoin prices into the seven-figure range, according to Blockstream CEO Adam Back. Related Reading: VanEck Gives Official Backing To Donald Trump’s Bitcoin Reserve Strategy Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at asset management firm Bitwise, recently noted that creating a strategic BTC reserve could propel the asset’s price to $500,000. Experts believe that if the US establishes a BTC reserve, other nations are likely to follow suit, creating a domino effect that could lead to a significant price surge. In related news, Japanese Member of Parliament Satoshi Hamada floated the idea of Japan creating its own strategic BTC reserve. At press time, BTC trades at $103,953, down 3.7% in the past 24 hours.

In an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, shared his bullish outlook on Bitcoin, projecting significant price appreciation by the end of 2025. “We expect Bitcoin to be up above $200,000 by this time next year,” Hougan stated, attributing this forecast to three primary sources of demand: exchange-traded funds (ETFs), corporate investments, and governmental acquisitions. Hougan elaborated, “There are ETFs that are vacuuming up Bitcoin, public companies like MicroStrategy are accumulating Bitcoin, and now we’re seeing discussions about governments investing in Bitcoin. It ultimately boils down to supply and demand—there’s too much demand and not enough supply, which drives the price higher.” When probed about the sustainability of such demand, Hougan emphasized the gradual awakening of different investor segments to Bitcoin’s value proposition. “People just wake up to Bitcoin at different paces. We’ve seen retail investors engage first, followed by companies and financial advisors, and now institutions are recognizing that Bitcoin belongs in a diversified portfolio,” he explained. Related Reading: Bitcoin Top Here? What Historical HODLer Selloff Pattern Says “Bitcoin is now a global macro asset worth a few trillion dollars, and virtually every investor should have some exposure. We still have a large number of investors to go, which is why I believe we’re still early in this journey. We have many quarters to go,” he added. How High Can Price Go If The US Buys Bitcoin? A pivotal aspect of Hougan’s forecast hinges on the potential establishment of a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). Addressing this, Hougan remarked, “If we do get a Bitcoin strategic reserve where the government is buying Bitcoin, as proposed in Senator Lummis’ bill for the government to purchase a million Bitcoin, $200,000 Bitcoin is going to be looking quaint. You’re going to be looking at three four $500,000 Bitcoin. It’s just too big a story because governments all around the world would have to do it.” Hougan admitted that he was first skeptical about Trump suggestions to establish a SBR. “But over the months, it hasn’t gone away in fact we continue to see leaders in the Trump Administration suggest that they’re open to it,” Hougan remarked. The Bitcoin CIO still thinks that the odds of the US government buying Bitcoin is less than 50%, but “it’s not zero,” he added. “If it happens or if we start to see it happening in other countries, you’re going to see a rip up in Bitcoin that will make 2024 look pretty docel in comparison.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Miners Now In Selling Mode For A Year: Should You Be Concerned? Hougan also highlighted the role of institutional platforms, specifically citing Coinbase as a potential major beneficiary in the evolving crypto landscape. “Coinbase is currently about half the size of Charles Schwab, and we believe it could surpass Schwab in brokerage size,” he noted. “Coinbase hasn’t had major competitors bubbling up to challenge it; it’s sort of had a degree of regulatory capture, if you can believe it. As a result, it’s been able to sustain its high margins in brokerages and then layer on things like stablecoins. [..,.] It’ll also help if it gets into the S&P 500; you see institutions buying it broadly. I think it’s a really unique situation driven by the fact that there was so much regulatory uncertainty—it cleared the competitive fat path and now it’s going to reap those rewards and build a really, you know, maybe an unsalable position leading this industry in the US.” Looking ahead to the broader market, Hougan anticipated an influx of crypto-related companies entering public markets. “We can expect firms like Kraken, Anchorage, and Chainalysis to go public, further normalizing the industry,” he stated. “This influx will lead to increased Wall Street coverage and institutional investment, setting the stage for a robust IPO window in 2025.” Despite the optimistic outlook, Hougan acknowledged potential risks that could impede Bitcoin’s growth. “The biggest risk is that politicians don’t deliver on their promises—if we don’t achieve regulatory clarity or fail to establish a strategic reserve, the expected bull market might not materialize,” he cautioned. “Regulatory and political factors are crucial drivers for crypto in 2025, and any setbacks in these areas could pose significant challenges.” At press time, Bitcoin traded at $104,212.

In a notable development for the cryptocurrency landscape, Japanese Member of Parliament Satoshi Hamada has urged his government to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, aligning Japan with a growing global trend where nations like the United States are exploring similar initiatives. Bitcoin Adoption Surges Among Nations And Major Corporations Hamada’s proposal reflects a broader interest in diversifying national reserves with cryptocurrencies, particularly following recent discussions in the Japanese parliament about reserve movements in the US and other countries. This surge in interest comes on the heels of Texas’s significant legislative efforts. The Texas House of Representatives has introduced a bill aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve, spearheaded by Republican state Representative Giovanni Capriglione. Related Reading: Australia’s Biggest Pension Fund Makes Historic $17M Bitcoin Investment, A National First The proposed legislation seeks to enable the state to accept taxes, fees, and donations in Bitcoin, with a commitment to hold these assets for a minimum of five years. Capriglione, who announced the bill during an X Spaces event, emphasized the potential benefits of such a reserve in enhancing Texas’s fiscal stability and reinforcing its leadership in Bitcoin innovation. “Probably the biggest enemy of our investments is inflation,” he stated, highlighting that a strategic Bitcoin reserve could provide a win-win scenario for the state. The legislation, titled “An Act Relating to the Establishment of a Bitcoin Reserve within the State Treasury of Texas and the Management of Cryptocurrencies by Governmental Entities,” underscores a significant trend of increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Notably, this movement is not limited to nations; following President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a US strategic Bitcoin reserve at the National Bitcoin Conference in Nashville earlier this year, there has been a marked uptick in BTC adoption among various countries and private companies. Bitcoinist previously reported that in just the past month, nine major firms from sectors including finance, healthcare, and artificial intelligence (AI) have embraced the market’s leading cryptocurrency as a strategic reserve asset. October 2025 As Next Major BTC Market Top? As these developments unfold, BTC has recently closed the week above the $100,000 mark, fueling speculation about its future trajectory. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has pointed out that if Bitcoin adheres to historical trends observed in previous market cycles, the next market peak could occur in October 2025. The analyst noted that in the last two cycles, from market bottom to market top, it took approximately 1,065 days, while the duration from one market bottom to the next was around 1,430 days.

Hut 8, one of the largest Bitcoin mining companies globally, has announced a significant strategic move aimed at creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve. The initiative, totaling $750 million includes a $500 million at-the-market (ATM) program and a $250 million stock buyback plan. Hut 8’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Initiative Hut 8’s CEO, Asher Genoot, articulated the company’s vision, stating that the launch of the new ATM Program and Stock Repurchase Program has equipped the business with “two powerful tools” that he believes bolsters the firm’s ability to endure the market’s volatility. Related Reading: BNB Surges 18% To Hit Record High Close To $800: Is Further Growth On The Horizon? The ATM program will allow Hut 8 to sell its common stock directly in the market, providing flexibility to raise funds as needed. In contrast, the stock buyback plan demonstrates the company’s confidence in its long-term growth prospects. Genoot emphasized that these financial maneuvers send a clear message to investors about their belief in Hut 8’s potential and its approach to treasury management. The net proceeds from the ATM program are earmarked for several growth initiatives. This includes investing in power and digital infrastructure, acquiring data centers, and purchasing Bitcoin to bolster its strategic reserve. Additionally, the funds may be allocated for general corporate purposes, such as repaying debts and enhancing working capital. Growing Trend Among Crypto And Traditional Financial Firms Sales under the ATM program will adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be conducted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Hut 8 disclosed it has filed the necessary prospectus and supplementary documents with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to ensure full compliance with regulatory requirements. The stock repurchase initiative is part of Hut 8’s broader capital management strategy. It allows the company to buy back up to 4.68 million shares, representing about 5% of its outstanding stock, over the next year. Importantly, both programs provide Hut 8 the flexibility to adjust their strategies based on market conditions, share prices, and regulatory requirements.

Mike Novogratz, the founder and CEO of Galaxy Digital Holdings—a leading crypto investment firm listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange—has signaled a significant shift in the global adoption of Bitcoin. In a post on Tuesday via X, Novogratz declared that countries are already purchasing Bitcoin. Nation-State Bitcoin FOMO Is Real “Countries are already buying BTC in huge volumes—these are massive pools of capital entering the market. We’re witnessing global adoption at scale and the next rally could be massive. Buckle up. Caught up last week with Bloomberg TV, he stated via X. In the Bloomberg interview, Novogratz elaborated on the unprecedented interest from sovereign entities. He mentioned a close associate—the person who introduced him to BTC in 2013—who is currently in the Middle East. “He’s never seen anything like it,” Novogratz said. “He’s convincing more people to buy Bitcoin in the three days he’s been there than any time in his whole career, and they’re huge pools of capital. And so we’re seeing something globally.” Related Reading: US Bitcoin Reserve Will Push Price Above $1 Million, Expert Predicts Novogratz noted that when former President Donald Trump advocated in Nashville that he intended to be a “crypto president” and a “Bitcoin president,” it caught the attention of international leaders. “Other leaders heard that,” he remarked, suggesting that geopolitical factors could contribute to an “amazing rally” in the Bitcoin market. When questioned about the likelihood of the United States establishing a Strategic BTC Reserve under a Trump presidency, Novogratz remained cautious. “I still think it’s a low probability,” he stated. He cited the complexities of US legislative processes, emphasizing that while the executive branch or the House might show enthusiasm, the Senate often urges restraint. “That’s the role of the Senate,” he said, pointing out that Republicans do not hold a 60-seat majority necessary to push through such initiatives unilaterally. Nonetheless, Novogratz acknowledged the potential benefits of the US embracing Bitcoin at a strategic level. “It would be very smart for the United States to take the Bitcoin they have and maybe add some to it,” he suggested, adding that it would signal a commitment to being a “technology-first country, a crypto and digital asset-first country.” While he doesn’t believe the US dollar requires backing by Bitcoin, he admitted that if a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve were established, “Bitcoin heads to $500,000.” Related Reading: BitMEX Founder Predicts How Bitcoin Goes To $1 Million Under Trump He added: “If it happens in the short term without a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, it’s going to mean six, seven, eight years,” Novogratz cautioned. “Then it’s just a scramble to get the hot commodity.” He expressed concerns that such a scenario could be indicative of hyperinflation, which historically leads to societal instability. “In every country that experiences hyperinflation, the results are really crappy,” he noted. Discussing Bitcoin’s potential to rival gold as a store of value, Novogratz highlighted a generational shift in investment preferences. “The total market cap of gold is like $16 trillion,” he explained, which translates to approximately $800,000 per BTC if it were to reach parity. “When does Bitcoin become gold?” he asked rhetorically. Novogratz, who is turning 60 next week, admitted he still owns gold, calling himself “an old guy.” However, he pointed out that younger generations are less inclined to invest in gold. “Forty-year-olds own no gold. Thirty-year-olds own none,” he observed. “As we see this generational shift, Bitcoin should match gold within five or ten years, and that gets you to $800,000.” At press time, BTC traded at $93,000.

In a series of exchanges on X, Adam Back, CEO of blockchain technology firm Blockstream, projected that Bitcoin could surge beyond $1 million if the United States were to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) under President-elect Donald Trump. “If the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve happens, prepare for 7 figure bitcoin. This cycle. The market is skeptical on meaningful follow through for now, so that is not at all priced in,” Back stated. if the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve happens prepare for 7 figure bitcoin. this cycle. the market is skeptical on meaningful follow through for now, so that is not at all priced in. — Adam Back (@adam3us) November 18, 2024 The bold prediction sparked discussions among industry experts and enthusiasts. James Van Straten, a noted crypto analyst, responded, “7 figures? I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for 6.” Acknowledging the market’s doubt, Back replied, “That’s a fairly big ‘if’ though. At least if we infer from market price, the market thinks a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is unlikely. If that becomes real, I’d expect a rapid repricing.” Can Bitcoin Rise To $1 Million Per Coin? The conversation highlights the market’s skepticism regarding the feasibility of the US government accumulating such a significant Bitcoin reserve. Van Straten, like other experts, suggested that a nation might consider “front-running” this potential scenario, to which Back noted, “There’s no good way to buy 1 million BTC other than very, very quietly. Even then, once it leaks, the entire world gets FOMO and a price teleport happens.” Related Reading: Is $135,000 Bitcoin’s Current Ceiling? This Model Says So Portal, a custodyless interoperability protocol for Bitcoin, weighed in on the discussion via X: “If the US starts one, surely the rest of the world will start to follow suit as well.” This sentiment underscores the potential global ripple effect of a US-initiated SBR on Bitcoin adoption and valuation. Skepticism was also voiced by X user AndyLiteMan (@LiteAndy), who critiqued Back’s astronomical prediction: “As much as that would be exciting, it’s not going to happen. We hear this every cycle.” Back maintained his position, emphasizing the conditional nature of his prediction: “I said ‘if,’ and that market doesn’t believe it so far.” Adding another layer to the unfolding narrative, Dennis Porter, CEO and founder of the Satoshi Act Fund—a US nonprofit advocating for Bitcoin adoption—claimed on November 18 that Donald Trump’s team is considering an executive order to establish a national SBR, as Bitcoinist reported. “I’ve heard that the Trump team is considering an Executive Order for a National ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve’ in order to beat any state from passing it into law first,” Porter disclosed via X. “I can confirm that US Senate offices are backing this plan up. Game on President Trump. The race is on.” Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Market Is Still In An ‘Healthy Growth’ Phase, Says Analyst—Here’s Why Porter, deeply involved in legislative efforts surrounding Bitcoin adoption, noted that his information stems from “private conversations with people familiar” with the matter and his direct involvement in promoting SBR language across the United States and internationally. Notably, it is crucial to distinguish between the proposals being discussed. Porter’s reference to Trump’s consideration pertains to an executive order that would establish a national SBR. This contrasts with Trump’s previous suggestion at the Bitcoin 2024 conference to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve by retaining all “seized coins” obtained through law enforcement actions. Furthermore, Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced the Bitcoin Act, which proposes the US government purchase 1 million BTC over five years, allocating 200,000 BTC per year. Addressing this legislative initiative, Back commented on a Polymarket prediction market screenshot showing a 36% chance for “Will Trump create a national Bitcoin reserve?” He clarified, “Optimistic IMO and depends on what they mean. ‘Not selling seized coins’ is very different from Senator Lummis’ SBR bill to buy 1 million BTC.” The latter could send the Bitcoin price skyrocketing. Back highlighted the logistical challenges of such a substantial acquisition: “There’s no good way to buy 1 million BTC other than very, very quietly. Even then, once it leaks, the entire world gets FOMO and a price teleport happens.” At press time, BTC traded at $92,329. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
On Tuesday, Matthew Sigel, the head of digital asset research at asset management firm and crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) issuer VanEck, officially endorsed President-elect Donald Trump’s proposal for a national strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Related Reading: Bitcoin Reaches New High Of $94,000: Blockstream CEO Anticipates $1 Million Ahead Porter emphasized that the Trump administration is actively working towards creating this reserve through an executive order, highlighting a significant alignment among major financial players and lawmakers regarding Bitcoin’s future. During a series of social media posts on X (formerly Twitter), Porter also outlined a series of steps he believes will facilitate the establishment of the strategic Bitcoin reserve, suggesting that the process will begin with Trump appointing a pro-Bitcoin Treasury Secretary. Key Steps For Establishing A US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Porter asserts that Donald Trump would then sign an executive order to create the reserve, which would also involve halting the auction of Bitcoin currently held by the US Marshals Service. The next phase would see the Treasury absorb these Bitcoin assets and place them into the Exchange Stabilization Fund. Over time, the Treasury would continue to accumulate Bitcoin for the reserve. Porter also noted the importance of legislative support, stating that since executive orders can be easily reversed, it would be crucial for Congress to pass a formal bill establishing the strategic reserve, spearheaded by pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis.
