Bitwise Investment said that a falling US Dollar Index fueled by US President Donald Trump's trade policies could push BTC to $200,000 . Bernstein Research said Bitcoin has the potential to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, backed by increased institutional demand through spot Bitcoin ETFs and BTC treasury companies .

According to the consensus rating from registered Binance Users, the BTC price prediction is forecasted to reach $138,386.74 in the next 5 years .
