Billionaire Tim Draper Predicts Bitcoin Will Hit $250K in 2025 – Here’s Why
Venture capitalist Tim Draper is once again making waves with his bold Bitcoin price prediction for 2025. Known for accurately forecasting Bitcoin’s rise to $10,000 in 2017, Draper now envisions an even more ambitious target: $250,000 by the end of 2025.
As of March 2025, Bitcoin is trading at $80,000, following an all-time high (ATH) of $109,000 in January. This raises the big question—can BTC more than triple in just nine months?
On The Raz Report podcast, Draper doubled down on his forecast, also emphasizing that Bitcoin’s value shouldn’t be measured in fiat terms anymore:
"We should stop comparing it to the dollar."
Instead, he proposed assessing Bitcoin against tangible goods, such as the cost of a dozen eggs, highlighting its appreciation against depreciating fiat currencies.
Why Draper Believes Bitcoin Will Hit $250K
Several key factors drive Draper’s confidence in Bitcoin’s massive price surge:
1. The 2024 Bitcoin Halving Supply Shock
In April 2024, Bitcoin’s block reward was halved from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, reducing the new supply by 50%.
Historically, halvings have triggered major bull runs:
2012 Halving: BTC surged 8,000%
2016 Halving: BTC jumped 2,800% by 2017
2020 Halving: BTC increased 700% in 18 months
If history repeats, Bitcoin could experience exponential gains post-halving.
2. Bitcoin ETFs & Institutional Investment
The SEC’s approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024 unleashed institutional demand.
By March 2025:
BlackRock’s IBIT holds $20 billion in BTC
Grayscale’s GBTC holds $17 billion
Total Bitcoin ETF inflows exceed $55 billion, further constraining supply.
3. Global Bitcoin Adoption & Legal Tender Status
Countries and businesses are increasingly adopting Bitcoin as a store of value and medium of exchange.
This broader adoption accelerates demand, reinforcing Bitcoin’s long-term upward trajectory.
Key Technical Levels to Watch
Resistance: The next major hurdle is $84,000—a key supply zone. Breaking this could push BTC to $87,000 or $91,000...
Support: If BTC fails to break $84,000, it may retrace to $79,000, with further downside risks to $75,000 and $72,000.
EMA Indicator: The 50-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $82,500 acts as dynamic resistance
Final Thoughts
Draper’s prediction may seem extreme, but with Bitcoin’s halving, institutional inflows, and growing adoption, a surge to $250,000 isn’t out of the question. The next few months will be crucial in determining whether Bitcoin can sustain its bullish momentums..
