Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, has made an ambitious prediction regarding Bitcoin’s price trajectory, forecasting that the cryptocurrency could surpass $150,000 by the end of 2025. Speaking on CNBC’s Squawk Box on March 3, 2025, Lee cited increasing institutional interest, including from firms like Citadel, as a key driver of Bitcoin’s potential price surge.
Despite Bitcoin’s recent struggles, with a significant 24% drop in value last month—falling from approximately $102,000 to $78,000—Lee remains optimistic. He explained that such fluctuations are typical of market cycles, pointing out that Bitcoin historically recovers with sharp rallies, often gaining the majority of its value in a brief 10-day span.
Lee also highlighted the role of global events in influencing Bitcoin’s price, noting that President Donald Trump’s decision to proceed with a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve played a part in pushing Bitcoin back above $90,000. Although the crypto market faces challenges such as new trade tariffs and a growing preference for safer assets like gold, Lee believes Bitcoin will continue to show resilience.
Other experts, including Bitwise and Standard Chartered, share a positive outlook, with some predicting Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025. However, Lee cautioned against trying to time the market, acknowledging the difficulty in predicting the exact moments when Bitcoin will experience its next major rally.
As of press time, Bitcoin is priced at $84,701, reflecting a 6% loss over the past 24 hours. Trading volume has increased by 2%, reaching $72 billion, but its market capitalization has dropped by 6% to $1.7 trillion.
