Bitcoin enters H2 2025 with one clear mission — to break past all previous records. After a strong second quarter that saw the price surge by 30%, the crypto market is bracing for another bullish wave. With rising institutional demand, upcoming legislation, and shifting macro trends, the stars seem aligned for Bitcoin to soar.

📈 Holding Above $100K Keeps the Bulls Confident

Since May 9, Bitcoin has remained firmly above the $100,000 mark, despite what many called a quiet consolidation phase during Q2. Still, BTC held its ground — posting a 15% gain for the first half of the year. That’s less than the 45% surge seen last year, but the stability is notable. At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $108,000, just below the May peak of $111,999.

According to Devin Ryan of Citizens Financial, there’s a rapid acceleration of inflows into Bitcoin ETFs, with more investors entering the space. “People are moving from owning zero to owning some,” Ryan said. “The end of consolidation is near — the next move is upward.”

🏢 Corporates Prepare for a Bitcoin Tsunami

Beneath the surface, a major wave is forming. Dozens of firms — now dubbed Bitcoin Treasury Companies — are either holding BTC as a core asset or planning to. Names like Nakamoto, Twenty One, and Strive Asset Management are finalizing mergers to raise capital via stock offerings and use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin.

Steven Lubka of Nakamoto explained: “A lot of that capital hasn’t even touched the market yet.” SEC approvals for the mergers are still pending. “Much more money is coming in — it just hasn’t bought Bitcoin yet,” he said.

Lubka emphasized this isn’t just a crypto story. Soaring government spending, surging equity markets, and a pro-Bitcoin Trump administration are all aligning. “These macro trends combined will create a powerful bull market,” he added.

🏛 Washington May Ignite the Next Rally

Capitol Hill could fuel Bitcoin’s next breakout. Geoff Kendrick of Standard Chartered pointed to political dynamics that may accelerate crypto growth — including the possibility of Trump replacing Jerome Powell as Fed chair, which could lead to faster rate cuts and boost investor confidence.

Kendrick also highlighted the upcoming GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill that may pass Congress in Q3. If approved, it could spark a retail investment wave, with Bitcoin being the primary beneficiary.

Still, not everyone is at ease. Kendrick warned of possible volatility in September, as Bitcoin historically dips about 18 months post-halving. The last halving occurred in April 2024, placing this potential correction window squarely in H2 2025. Yet Kendrick remains confident — the strength of ETF and corporate demand could offset any major sell-offs.

🎯 Targeting $200,000 by Year-End?

According to Kendrick, Bitcoin could rise to $135,000 by the end of Q3 and hit $200,000 by year-end. “Once the market moves past fear of a repeat correction, we expect continued growth,” he concluded.
