Bitcoin Price Prediction: BTC to Hit $145.1K by Year-End, $458.6K by 2030 and $1.02M by 2035 - per a Finder Report

Bitcoin (BTC) has been stuck between $107,500 and $109,500 over the last few weeks. However, several predictions by top analysts suggest that BTC has not yet hit its peak. While the king crypto has struggled to beat its all-time high at $111,970, recorded on May 22, the overall prediction for its trajectory is bullish

According to a recent report by Finder, Bitcoin could be set for a major rally over the next 10 years. Drawing insight from 22 crypto specialists, the Bitcoin prediction report by Finder, outlines price forecasts for 2025, 2030, and 2035 – showing a steady upward trend for the world’s leading cryptocurrency. Let’s explore what the 22 crypto specialists think Bitcoin’s price will look like over the next decade

Bitcoin Price Prediction: 2025, 2030 and 2035

In a report published on July 8, a report by a panel of experts shows that Bitcoin could close 2025 at $145,167 – up from the $135,048 predicted in April. The panel also expects Bitcoin to climb further to $458,647 by 2030 and then to $1.02 million by 2035

For instance, Martin Froehler, the CEO of Morpher, who offered the most bullish prediction for BTC to reach $250,000 by year-end, backed his prediction on the increasing institutional demand

“Corporate and institutional demand is not slowing down while retail is still absent and nation state adoption is just getting started,” Froehler noted

Other panelists also echoed Froehler’s optimism. Joseph Raczynski, the Futurist at JT Consulting & Media, predicted a $240,000 price by year-end. He framed Bitcoin’s rising appeal as a reserve asset amid global uncertainty. As reported by Blockchain News earlier this week, several sovereign entities and institutions are quietly stacking BTC. These firms stacked a total of 8,400 BTC between June 30 and July 4

Josh Fraser, the cofounder of Origin Protocol, also forecast BTC at $230,000 by December 2025. Fraser compared BTC’s rally with the rising status of gold as he estimated long-term prices around $1.15 million if Bitcoin reaches gold-level adoption.

“As countries continue to print fiat currency at unsustainable rates, people will find alternative ways to store value. Gold has been a primary store of value for hundreds of years, and bitcoin now competes as a better version of gold. When bitcoin reaches the same adoption as gold, BTC will be priced at roughly $1.15M,” Fraser explained

Experts’ Differing Price Forecasts Highlight Market Divide

Although the average BTC prediction stood at $145,167, the panelists projected varying expectations based on geopolitical, economic, and regulatory trends. Some of the panelists anticipate new all-time highs and others expect corrections

As per the Finder report, the panelists estimated the peak price in 2025 to be at an average price of $162,353. On the other hand, they projected the lowest price to be at $87,618, on average

“BTC…still lacks any fundamental value, and after 16 years, it has still failed to meet its initial aspiration to be a common means of payment. It remains a speculative bubble,” Hawkins argued

Meanwhile, Ruadhan O, founder of Seasonal Tokens, remains bullish. He suggests the $100K support level held firm during global crises such as the Israel-Iran war. This makes him believe that BTC will likely break out to new highs, possibly hitting $190,000.

Buy, Hold or Sell? Experts Split but Favor Buying

According to the panel, most experts believe now is a good time to accumulate Bitcoin. Specifically, 61% say BTC is a buy at current prices, 26% recommend holding, and only 13% advise selling.

On the other hand, Kadan Stadelmann, the CTO at Komodo Platform, expects BTC to surge over the next six months before heading into a potential bear market in 2026. He forecasts a peak at Q1 2026, cementing the idea that investors could still find purchasing opportunities in the market

Desmond Marshall, the MD of Rouge Ventures, also stands in favor of purchasing BTC. Marshall based his stance on state-level interest in Bitcoin and the interest of the U.S government. He highlighted the fact that the U.S. has already begun holding significant BTC in its reserve in the presence of macroeconomic uncertainty and growing geopolitical tensions

“Together with Trump’s embrace of digital crypto assets, his sons dealing with HUGE amounts of crypto projects and the strong US dollar, the US government is already buying large reserves of BTC. This is supported by many businesses venturing into this realm with enterprise crypto strategies,” he shared

Quantum Computing to Pose a Significant Long-term Risk

Nevertheless, quantum computing still remains a potential future threat to the cryptographic system of Bitcoin. A considerable 79% of the panel agree that quantum computers will ultimately jeopardize the security of BTC.

However, views differ on the timeline. Around 25% expect quantum threats to emerge within five years, another 25% say within five to ten years, while 29% believe it’ll take more than a decade. Only 8% of experts said quantum computers pose no threat at all

On the other hand, 46% think that the BTC community is poorly equipped to deal with quantum risks. The other 42% thinks that the community is moderately underprepared. Only one-third of the panelists feel that the community is at least half prepared

Crypto experts project an cautiously optimistic future for Bitcoin The projection is majorly associated with a combination of macroeconomic forces, institutional adoption, and geopolitical trends. Though risks like quantum computing loom on the horizon, the majority of experts remain bullish.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $109,703 up by 1.94% over the last 24 hours, as per data by CoinMarketCap. While the end of 2025, 2030 and 2035 predictions for Bitcoin appear to reflect the growing consensus that Bitcoin is maturing – not just as a speculative asset, but as a long-term store of value, investors and traders alike must express caution since BTC is very volatile
