Survey: 4 in 5 Expect Another Bitcoin All-Time High This Year

What Price Will Bitcoin Reach in 2025?

In a recent survey of the crypto community, a majority 86.7% predicted that Bitcoin price will surpass its current $124,128 all-time high record in 2025. In other words, 4 out of every 5 crypto participants are expecting at least one more Bitcoin all-time high before the year ends, which suggests that this is the market consensus view.

2 in 5 crypto participants, or 40.1%, made the more conservative prediction that Bitcoin will reach a new all-time high between $125,000 and $150,000 this year. This was by far the most popular prediction, likely because it is in line with the 2021 precedent whereby Bitcoin hit an interim high of $64,595 in April, before topping for the cycle at $69,044 in November.

Another 1 in 5 participants (20.3%) believe Bitcoin will record new all-time highs of $151,000 to $175,000 by year end, making it the second most popular price prediction. The crypto community had less conviction in higher price targets, with just a combined 18.2% of participants predicting Bitcoin will see $176,000 to $250,000 this year. 

Meanwhile, a small 8.1% share of participants expressed very bullish expectations that Bitcoin will more than double and break above $251,000 by year end. 

On the other hand, 13.3% of participants think Bitcoin’s all-time high will remain at $124,128 for the rest of the year. This points to a non-trivial share of the crypto community that believes Bitcoin has topped for the current cycle, or will only experience new highs next year.

In comparison, institutions’ Bitcoin price predictions for 2025 were among the high ranges and therefore relatively more aggressive. The most conservative institutional forecasts were Bitget and VanEck’s $180,000 target, while on the higher end, Fundstrat estimated that Bitcoin might reach up to $250,000 by year end.

Majority of Non-Holders Also Expecting New Bitcoin Highs

Among the survey respondents with no Bitcoin holdings, 82.8% are nevertheless expecting its price to rally to new highs by year end. Out of the 250 respondents who have never held Bitcoin, 205 predicted new all-time highs. Out of the 365 who used to hold Bitcoin, 304 remained bullish on price this year. 

While their predictions may reflect less conviction due to their lack of Bitcoin exposure, it is worth noting that both non-holder groups’ predictions still followed a similar distribution compared to Bitcoin holders. The consistency perhaps shows that the crypto community’s Bitcoin price expectations are influenced by factors other than their personal holdings.

Crypto Community’s Bitcoin Price Predictions for 2025

According to a survey, crypto participants’ predictions for what the highest Bitcoin price will be by the end of 2025 are:

Methodology

The study examined 2,549 crypto participants’ responses in the anonymous CoinGecko Bitcoin Survey, which ran from August 22 to September 11, 2025. Survey results should be taken as indicative only.

Among the survey participants, 68% considered themselves as crypto investors with mainly long-term holdings, 20% identified as traders with mainly shorter-term holdings, 7% as builders and 5% as sidelined spectators. In terms of how long participants had been in crypto, 38% were in their first cycle (0 to 3 years in crypto), 41% in their second cycle (4 to 7 years) and the remaining 21% of participants were veterans with 8 or more years of experience. Geographically, participants were mainly from Europe (31%), Asia (26%) and North America (22%), while the rest were in Africa, South America or Oceania.
