BTC0,76%

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the 2025 Bitcoin bullish forecast has not met expectations. As of the end of 2025, the trading price of Bitcoin is approximately $88,000, down about 6% for the year. The main institutional forecasts are as follows: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated in January that if major investors allocate to Bitcoin, its price could reach $700,000. Bernstein predicted that Bitcoin would reach $200,000 by the end of 2025 or early 2026. Standard Chartered set a year-end target of $200,000; although Bitcoin hit a peak of $126,000 in October, it subsequently retreated, and the bank has lowered its target to $100,000. Bitwise has repeatedly forecasted that Bitcoin will break through $200,000 in 2025. Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee initially predicted Bitcoin could reach $200,000 to $250,000 this year, but recently revised this to possibly surpass $100,000 again before the end of December. ARK Investment Management CEO Cathie Wood has lowered her 2030 bullish forecast for Bitcoin from $1.5 million to $1.2 million (WSJ).
