deVere Group CEO Nigel Green predicts Bitcoin is likely to surge to $150,000 by mid-2025, and he’s been right before. His statement comes as the cryptocurrency is once again back above $100,000 after hitting the milestone for the first time last week.
“Bitcoin is up an astonishing 134% year-to-date, and we believe the stage is set for even greater highs in the months ahead,” Green said. “I’ve previously predicted that following Donald Trump’s inauguration, it could surge to $120,000. I now believe growing investor FOMO (fear of missing out) and increasing institutional investment can be expected to push the price to $150,000 by mid-2025.”
“This dual momentum is fuelling the crypto market’s resurgence and establishing Bitcoin as a ‘must-have’ asset in portfolios.”
Green cited investor FOMO as another critical driver. The $100,000 milestone serves as a psychological magnet, drawing in investors who fear being left behind.
“As Bitcoin achieves new highs, it creates a snowball effect,” Green said. “Investors rush in to capture gains, pushing the price higher and attracting even more participants.”
Green said institutional investment is a game-changer. Over the past year, major financial institutions have expanded their exposure to Bitcoin through direct holdings, ETFs, and partnerships with crypto-focused firms.
This institutional buy-in not only adds liquidity to the market but also provides credibility that reassures retail investors. The result? A self-reinforcing cycle of demand that propels Bitcoin’s price upward.
Stubborn inflation and rising geopolitical uncertainty are reinforcing Bitcoin’s case as a safe-haven asset. With inflation remaining high and traditional investments struggling to keep pace, Bitcoin offers a potential store of value. Furthermore, the increasing instability in global politics is driving more investors toward alternatives to conventional assets, giving Bitcoin added appeal.
Green noted that Donald Trump, who has strategically positioned himself as a pro-Bitcoin president, is expected to continue implementing a favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. His administration has already signalled its commitment to digital assets by appointing a new chair of the SEC, the US financial regulator known for a progressive stance on crypto. This leadership change is widely expected to advance regulatory clarity, further strengthening investor confidence.
However, Green cautions that the road to $150,000 will not be entirely smooth.
“We should expect short-lived sell-offs as investors take profits,” he noted. “These corrections, while unsettling in the short term, are part of a healthy market cycle and pave the way for stronger, sustained growth.”
Green concluded that his revised forecast of $150,000 by mid-2025 underscores his confidence in Bitcoin’s trajectory.
“Trump back in the White House, a new pro-crypto SEC chair, growing institutional demand, retail investors’ FOMO, stubborn US inflation, and increasing geopolitical uncertainty creates the perfect storm for Bitcoin to potentially hit $150,000 by mid-2025.”
