A well-known market analyst believes Bitcoin is on track to reach new highs this year. Tom Lee, the co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, expects the cryptocurrency to do “better than $150,000” by the end of 2025.

His latest comments come as Bitcoin struggles with recent volatility but remains a popular investment choice among institutional and retail traders. The co-founder of Fundstrat expressed his opinions on CNBC’s Squawk Box, referencing a variety of favorable fundamentals for the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Volatility And Market Movements In recent months, the top coin has had a lot of ups and downs. In February 2025, the top cryptocurrency saw a nearly 24% decline, which caused some investors to lose faith. In spite of this, the current price of Bitcoin is nearly $84,500. During the day, it fluctuated between a high of $90,400 and a low of $82,500. Lee, nevertheless, is unconcerned with the fluctuations and thinks that BTC’s long-term prospects surpass its short-term declines. JUST IN: Expect Bitcoin go higher than $150,000 this year, says Fundstrat’s Tom Lee pic.twitter.com/z0mGAPe16b — Bitcoin Archive (@BTC_Archive) March 3, 2025 Institutional Support And Broader Adoption Growing participation of significant financial actors is one of the main causes of Lee’s confidence. Companies like Citadel have entered the crypto space to give Bitcoin more legitimacy. The alpha coin’s use case gets stronger for future expansion the more conventional institutions interact with digital assets. “I think Bitcoin makes a beeline back towards its long-term trend line, which is probably $82,000 in the near term, $150,000 before year-end,” says @fundstrat‘s Tom Lee as $BTC closes in on its all-time high. pic.twitter.com/g4p6VOTECx — Last Call (@LastCallCNBC) March 5, 2024 Other financial behemoths also show great optimism for Bitcoin. Both Bitwise and Standard Chartered project Bitcoin to reach $200,000 in 2025. Such forecasts support Lee’s point of view and confirm that Bitcoin still has lots of space to expand. Government Influence On Bitcoin’s Future Regulatory decisions could also play a role in Bitcoin’s performance this year. United States President Donald Trump recently declared his intention to establish a strategic cryptocurrency reserve. This action suggests that the government is becoming more interested in digital assets, which could affect market sentiment and raise prices. At the same time, regulatory uncertainty still influences changes in the price of Bitcoin. Even if institutional usage is growing, market observers will closely monitor any changes to regulations that may have an impact on the future of cryptocurrencies.

He says that there are often short, unpredictable bursts of growth for the coin. He says it’s dangerous to try to time the market. Instead, it might be smarter to hold on to Bitcoin for a long time. Bitcoin’s price isn’t stable at all, but buyers are still interested in it because it has a history of strong recovery. If Lee is right, 2025 could be another big year for the biggest coin in the world. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from TradingView

In a recent interview with CNBC, Michael Saylor, co-founder of Strategy, reiterated his bullish outlook on Bitcoin (BTC), predicting the cryptocurrency could reach a staggering $200 trillion market cap.  Saylor Forecasts $10 Million Per Bitcoin Currently valued at about $2 trillion, Saylor believes Bitcoin’s trajectory will see it grow to $20 trillion and eventually hit the $200 trillion mark, translating to an approximate price of $10 million per BTC based on its capped supply of 21 million coins. Saylor attributes this potential growth to a global shift in capital investment, stating, “That capital is coming from overseas… from China, from Russia, from Europe, from Africa, from Asia, from the 20th century to the 21st century.”  Related Reading: Ethereum Price Breaks Out—10% Surge Sparks Bullish Momentum His forecast comes against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s recent announcement regarding the creation of a Crypto Strategic Reserve, which would include BTC alongside Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), which ignited a heated debate within financial and crypto circles. While Saylor acknowledges the appeal of a Bitcoin-only reserve, he supports Trump’s broader strategy that encompasses multiple cryptocurrencies. He emphasized, “There’s no way to interpret this other than this is bullish for Bitcoin and is bullish for the entire US crypto industry.”  Although some conservatives, such as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss, have advocated for more restrictive, Bitcoin-centric policies, Saylor noted that the president’s approach allows for a more inclusive economic policy. Saylor Dismisses Volatility Concerns  When asked about his involvement with the White House, Saylor confirmed he has been in discussions with various lawmakers, both Democratic and Republican, as well as members of the Cabinet and administration.  “For the last four and a half years, I’ve been talking about Bitcoin to anybody, anywhere in the world, every day,” Michael Saylor stated during his interview, highlighting his commitment to promoting the cryptocurrency. Saylor argues that establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve could provide the United States with significant economic advantages, including the potential to alleviate the national debt.  Saylor posits, “If the United States takes a position in the emerging crypto economy, if it buys up 10, 20% of the Bitcoin network, we’re going to pay off the national debt. And so why wouldn’t that be in the interest of the United States?” Related Reading: Dogecoin Will Start A Move To $4 If Current Demand Holds – Can Bulls Step In? Addressing concerns about Bitcoin’s notorious volatility, Saylor pointed to its historical long-term gains, asserting, “I don’t think anybody’s ever lost money in the Bitcoin network holding for four years. Presumably, you want to buy Bitcoin, you want to hold it for 100 years.” The proposal for a US Crypto Reserve is still in its infancy, and Saylor indicated that its success will depend heavily on legislative decisions made in the coming months.  “There are a dozen people on it: the head of the Treasury, the SEC, the CFTC, Commerce, the Attorney General, the President… both the Republicans and the Democrats,” he noted, emphasizing the diverse range of opinions that will influence the outcome. At the time of writing, BTC has found support at around $83,869 after posting losses of 7% and 6% over the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively.
