A recent survey by the British fintech company Finder – gathering opinions from 24 experts in the cryptocurrency industry – predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) could peak at around $162,353 (equivalent to €139,148) this year, before stabilizing around $145,167 (€124,418).

  • The forecast range is quite wide:

    • The most optimistic prediction: $250,000.

    • The most pessimistic scenario: the price could fall to $70,000.

  • The average low price suggested by experts is $87,618.

  • Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has surpassed the $120,000 mark – up nearly 25% compared to the end of last year (~$100,000).

The Main Driving Force Behind Bitcoin's Price Increase

  • The EU's MiCA regulation unifies the rules for digital assets, giving investors peace of mind.

  • Many countries – especially the U.S. – are considering a separate legal framework for crypto.

Attraction from Bitcoin ETFs

  • Since the Bitcoin ETF began trading in the U.S. late last year, institutional capital has been pouring in strongly.

  • ETFs help traditional investors access BTC without needing to manage cold wallets, private keys, etc.

The 'Crypto-Friendly Policy' of the U.S.

  • President Donald Trump's campaign emphasizes the goal of making America the 'crypto capital'.

  • The 'Crypto Week' at the U.S. House of Representatives is discussing a series of key bills for the market.

Limited Supply

  • The issuance cap of 21 million BTC creates 'scarcity' pressure as demand increases.

  • MicroStrategy currently holds BTC worth approximately $65 billion – a prime example of the Digital Asset Treasury strategy.

Are We in a Bitcoin 'Bubble'?

Long-Term Vision

Many experts believe the current 'bull run' cycle could last until Q1 2026, after which it will enter a 'bear market' phase.

Challenges from Quantum Computers

  • 79% of experts see quantum computers as a threat to Bitcoin's cryptographic algorithms.

  • 50% believe that in the next 10 years, quantum computers could be strong enough to break the current SHA-256 key.

  • Only 8% believe Bitcoin is 'completely safe'.

This requires the community to prepare to upgrade security algorithms (for example, switching to post-quantum algorithms) to protect assets.

In Summary

Bitcoin is still benefiting from:

  1. Favorable legal environment (MiCA, U.S. bills).

  2. Institutional cash flow through ETFs.

  3. The story of supply scarcity.

However, the risk of a 'bubble' and the threat of quantum security always loom. Investors should:

  • Diversify the portfolio, do not go 'all-in' on Bitcoin.

  • Closely monitor legal and technological developments (especially quantum).

  • Equip yourself with knowledge instead of chasing rumors.

With a fixed supply cap but growing demand, Bitcoin could continue to set new records. However, all investments come with risks – invest only 'idle money' and always be prepared for the extreme fluctuations of the crypto market.
