PANews reported on December 31st that, according to DLNews, Bitcoin price predictions for 2025 have become a hot topic in the crypto industry, but the predictions of several prominent figures have fallen far short of actual performance. Despite a buoyant start to the year fueled by institutional adoption, ETF inflows, and pro-crypto policies, macroeconomic headwinds and investor fatigue led to a 10% drop in Bitcoin's price for the year, failing to maintain the strong momentum seen at the beginning of the year. Below is a comparison of the predictions and actual results from several prominent figures:

  • Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, repeatedly predicted a surge in Bitcoin prices, stating in early 2025 that Bitcoin would surpass $200,000. However, influenced by US President Trump's tariff policies, Bitcoin fell below $80,000 in April. Despite this, Hayes maintained that it would reach $150,000 by the end of the year, even predicting $200,000 in November, but the final price of Bitcoin was only $86,000.

  • Tom Lee of Fundstrat predicted Bitcoin would reach $250,000 by the end of 2025, but due to market volatility, he lowered his forecast to over $100,000 in November. However, Bitcoin's price was only $86,000 on December 19, about 17% lower than his latest prediction.

  • Michael Saylor: MicroStrategy co-founder Saylor predicted at the beginning of the year that Bitcoin's price would reach $150,000 by the end of the year, but as of December, Bitcoin's price was still far below that target, a deviation of nearly 80%. Nevertheless, Saylor remains optimistic about its long-term performance, predicting that Bitcoin will reach $20 million per coin within 20 years.

Despite the fact that Bitcoin prices failed to surge as expected in 2025, many industry insiders remain optimistic about the long-term potential of the crypto market.
