How much will Bitcoin’s price be in the year 2025, 2030, and beyond?
Every other month, expert analysts and Bitcoin enthusiasts make various predictions about Bitcoin’s price movement that spark discussions across the finance industry.
While we are not soothsayers and can’t hold up a magic crystal ball to predict Bitcoin’s price, we can compile a list of predictions made by notable crypto figures or financial institutions. Buckle up.
Bitcoin’s historical price movement
Bitcoin’s price has seen sharp drops and impressive rallies since it first came online in 2009.
The first major milestone for Bitcoin was in 2013, when it broke US$100 (AU$157). It was such an exciting moment for Bitcoin enthusiasts that they filmed their reactions to it.
Fast forward twelve years: in January 2025, Bitcoin crossed a historic US$100,000 (AU$156,000) milestone. However, the digital asset’s ‘journey’ to US$100,000 was not an easy one. Bitcoin’s price touched US$15,600 in June 2019, but crashed to around US$10,300 in December 2019.
What influences Bitcoin’s price?
Growing investor demand
Market sentiment, growing demand, and interest from corporate investors all play a role in driving Bitcoin’s price. For example, large companies like Strategy have recently bought up over $57 billion worth of Bitcoin, and many other corporate investors have since followed Strategy’s example.
When everyday investors buy more Bitcoin, that also increases its price. As of 2025, more Aussies own crypto than ever – nearly 1 in 3.
New financial products
Another important impact on Bitcoin price is the development of new financial products. For example, when spot Bitcoin ETFs officially launched in the US in January 2024, it opened Bitcoin up to even more investors. Billions of dollars flowed into those ETFs, driving Bitcoin’s price up to $114,000 ahead of its fourth halving in April that year.
Fixed supply
When a country prints too much money or faces economic issues, its currency can lose value. Bitcoin is designed with a fixed supply, only 21 million Bitcoins will ever exist. That makes it different from traditional money, which governments can print more of whenever they need to.
For many, it’s seen as a way to protect their savings when their national currency is unstable.
Bitcoin halving
The Bitcoin halving happens roughly every four years and also plays a key role in its long-term price trends. During each halving event, the block reward for mining Bitcoin gets cut in half, making the mining process more challenging. Historically, Bitcoin’s price tends to increase months after the halving.
Bitcoin price predictions 2025
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’, predicted early this year that Bitcoin could reach $281,000 to $391,000 this year. He cites a looming “Great Depression” as the reason that Bitcoin’s price will surge.
Here are predictions from other major banks or financial institutions:

Bitcoin price predictions 2030
Expert opinions
Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, reiterated her view in Ark Invest’s ‘Big Ideas 2025’ report that Bitcoin’s price would jump to $2.32 million in five years. Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter and a hardcore Bitcoin maximalist, similarly predicted that Bitcoin will reach $1.5 million by 2030.
Opinions of everyday Australians
A majority of Aussies who invest in crypto expressed optimism about Bitcoin’s price, with many believing it would see a surge in price.
According to the Australian 2025 Independent Reserve Cryptocurrency Index (IRCI), the number of Australians in 2025 predicting Bitcoin would reach $A250,000+ by 2030 is roughly 6 times higher than it was in 2024.
The number of Australians who expected Bitcoin to be worth zero is also just 9.3%, down from nearly half in 2020!
Longer-term Bitcoin price predictions
David Sacks, the White House’s ‘Crypto Czar’ appointed by Donald Trump, stated in a podcast in early May that there might be a “Trump boom” in the future, which would positively impact Bitcoin’s price.
Several other notable Bitcoin believers, as well as trusted institutions have also shared their predictions about Bitcoin’s price in the long-term.
