Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to add at least another 25% to its United States dollar price into 2025, according to new forecasts.
The latest BTC price targets all favor six-figure Bitcoin becoming the norm over the next year.
Bitcoin price predictions unanimous on six figures
Bitcoin made history on Dec. 5 by finally crossing the $100,000 mark for the first time. During its trip to current all-time highs of $103,800, it also gained a $2-trillion market capitalization.
Now, however, market observers are already looking into the future to determine just how high BTC/USD can go.
Cointelegraph looks at some of the most recent popular BTC price predictions for the end of 2024 and beyond.
ARK Invest: $124,000 BTC price minimum
Asset management giant ARK Invest is no stranger to bullish BTC price research, and its current thesis revolves around BTC/USD gaining another 25%.
In a blog post originally released in mid-November, researchers, who included Puell Multiple creator David Puell, gave a minimum threshold of $124,000.
“If bitcoin were to match the general historical average or the average of all halving years at December’s end, its 2024 performance multiple could hit between 2.48x and 2.94x, its price potentially reaching between ~$104,000 and ~$124,000,” they wrote.
ARK specifically highlighted the wave of institutional demand for Bitcoin, which has become its calling card this year.
“Bottom line, if institutions continue to gravitate toward this new asset class, and the US government seriously contemplates adding bitcoin to its strategic reserves, we anticipate a strong close to 2024 and continued momentum during 2025,” it concluded.

In an X post on Dec. 5, Puell added that Bitcoin has now met the lower boundary of its target range.
Traders eye levels toward $140,000
Popular crypto traders are also not without optimism when it comes to BTC’s price going higher.
Among them is Jelle, who now sees $130,000 as a potential next stop.
A chart uploaded to X on Dec. 5 sees BTC/USD as breaking out of a bullish pennant, which it entered in early November.
“This bullish pennant has a target of $130,000,” he wrote in an accompanying commentary.
“Breakout confirmed - send it higher.”

Fellow trader Aksel Kibar previously suggested that $137,000 would form Bitcoin’s next long-term top — in contrast to $100,000, which he dismissed as neither psychologically nor technically significant.
