Bitcoin predictions for 2025
Milne began his forecast by addressing the potential US involvement in Bitcoin accumulation. “Some of my Bitcoin predictions for 2025: The big prediction: Trump will not announce the purchase of Bitcoin on behalf of the United States in 2025, but he will sign an order preventing the sale of any seized Bitcoin… and create an actual reserve. It will continue to create FOMO,” Milne said. worldwide”.

Thus, Milne predicts that Trump will not follow US Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act which proposes purchasing 1 million Bitcoins over five years. However, Milne believes that the United States under President-elect Trump will hold 198,109 Bitcoin (according to Arkham data) as a national stockpile as Trump promised during the recent Bitcoin conference in Nashville, which could spark a global fear of loss (FOMO).
By expanding into the international landscape, Milne expects increased adoption by smaller, more flexible countries. “Other smaller, smarter countries (plus Bhutan and El Salvador) will declare their Bitcoin reserves and start buying or mining before the United States does,” he noted. Middle Eastern countries will start declaring their holdings, he noted.
Business engagement with Bitcoin is also expected to rise. Milne expects at least one other company to be included in the S&P 500, meaning neither Tesla nor MicroStrategy will announce a Bitcoin acquisition in 2025.

Price outlook remains bullish on Milne’s Bitcoin forecast. Bitcoin is expected to be worth around $200-250,000, even without the US government purchasing it. If the US starts buying, expect around $500k. Yes, in 2025. That’s because it’s officially going to be a nationwide arms race and there’s not enough Bitcoin.
Milne also addresses market dynamics, predicting that Bitcoin will reach its peak in the second half of the year. While his advice is for October, he assumes the bear market will be “much milder than previous markets as nation-states and companies will slowly accumulate.”
Addressing concerns about security and market stability, Milne stated, “The majority of the Bitcoins that were hacked have finally been returned to Bitfinex…causing a temporary decline in the market as people say they are going to dump Bitcoin (they won’t, they are) We will slowly convert 80% of it to LEO over 18 months).”
The collapse and subsequent recovery of major exchanges also plays a role in Milne’s Bitcoin predictions for 2025. “FTX begins distributing US dollars to creditors in the first quarter, across several large exchanges… making it easier for them to reinvest in Bitcoin, etc.,” he says. At least 50% of the money returned will be reinvested. This influx of reinvested funds is expected to pump liquidity back into the Bitcoin market, fueling a renewed price rally.
Milne is not dismissive of the performance of institutional investors, noting that “MSTR is generating a ‘bitcoin return’ of approximately 30% in 2025 before the premium closes.” Finally, Milne concluded his Bitcoin predictions with a note by Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. During the election campaign, incoming US President Donald Trump pledged to release Ulbricht. Trump is expected to follow up on his words: “The Russians will be released.”
At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $93,070.
