Can Bitcoin Hit $150,000?

While short-term volatility remains a concern, several experts see a path for Bitcoin to rally in the coming months.

Omid Malekan, a professor at Columbia Business School, sees Bitcoin taking on a larger role during periods of economic instability. “Just as gold may surge due to tariff-induced uncertainty, Bitcoin—often dubbed ‘digital gold’—could follow a similar trajectory,” he said.

Zach Pandl, Head of Research at Grayscale, echoed this sentiment, noting that the tariff policy may weaken the dollar’s global dominance. “This creates space for Bitcoin to emerge as a viable alternative monetary asset,” he said.

Meanwhile, blockchain analyst Dr. Kirill Kretov pointed out a significant trend: institutional investors have been steadily withdrawing Bitcoin from exchanges since late 2024. “This kind of supply shrinkage often precedes major price rallies, similar to the run-up we saw in 2020–2021,” he explained.

If this trend continues, many analysts believe a surge toward $150,000 is within reach.

Short-Term Volatility, Long-Term Opportunity

President Trump’s tariff policy is currently exerting downward pressure on Bitcoin, but over the longer term, it may lay the groundwork for significant price growth. A weaker U.S. dollar, increased demand for hedge assets, and institutional accumulation could all play roles in a potential Bitcoin breakout.
