Since the beginning of April, the cryptocurrency market has shown a strong upward trend, and Bitcoin is once again in the spotlight of investors, analysts, and government bodies. As of April 29, 2025, the price of BTC is around $95,000, confidently recovering from the decline at the beginning of the month and continuing to rise against a backdrop of positive news.
Growth factors: why BTC is rising
• One of the key growth drivers has been the initiative of the US government: President Donald Trump signed an order to create the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, officially establishing BTC as a reserve asset. This was an unprecedented step in the history of cryptocurrencies and strengthened the trust in digital gold from major players.
• Additionally, institutional investors, including pension funds and sovereign funds, are actively increasing their positions in BTC. Analysts at Standard Chartered predict a new all-time high of $120,000 in the second quarter of 2025, citing high demand and limited supply after the halving.
Forecasts: from $110,000 to $200,000?
• Optimists are confident that BTC can reach $180,000–$200,000 by the end of 2025. Such a scenario is possible if institutional interest remains and macroeconomic instability compels investors to seek safe assets.
• Cautious estimates come from platforms like Polymarket, where only 29% of participants believe in reaching the $150,000 mark this year. However, most expect a rise to at least $110,000.
