Over the years, Bitcoin’s performance during the Christmas season has mirrored its broader market cycle. From early days of quiet accumulation to explosive bull runs and sharp corrections, the period from December 1 to December 31 has seen both modest gains and dramatic losses.
Bullish Decembers have coincided with pre-halving momentum, such as in 2020 (+50%) and 2017 (+40%), while bearish years like 2018 (-6%) and 2021 (-19%) marked corrections in bear markets or post-cycle peaks. The holiday season frequently captures Bitcoin’s cyclical nature, making it a period of both opportunity and reflection for investors.
However Bitcoin has already gone from $66,000 to $99,840, in November 2024, so a cooling off period in December might also be likely where price remains relatively stable or even dips slightly in anticipation of a strong 2025.
In 2024, as Bitcoin prepares to face a trifecta of influences being the halving, election, and maturing adoption the stage is set for another leg up in price discovery. This Christmas, more than any before, carries the potential to deliver gains that could redefine Bitcoin’s role in global finance. As December countdown begins, time will tell if this holiday season makes history!
Starting in 2025, a new FASB rule will require US companies to report cryptocurrency holdings at fair value each quarter. According to Deloitte, "The new guidance requires entities to subsequently measure certain crypto assets at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in net income in each reporting period."
Previously, companies typically classified Bitcoin holdings as intangible assets subject to impairment testing. This meant Bitcoin held by a company could be written down if its price fell but could not be marked up until it was sold, even if the price recovered in the meantime.
For companies like MicroStrategy the new rule might offer a clearer way to report their cryptocurrency holdings. While the technical details and adoption will vary by company, the update could enhance transparency and influence how businesses approach Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Beyond MicroStrategy, all eyes will be on major market cap players like NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta to see if they embrace Bitcoin in 2025. While many companies are exploring Bitcoin, it’s important to recognise the expanding interest from a wider range of institutions, including asset managers, family offices, and pension funds.
In May 2024, the State of Wisconsin Investment Board became one of the first U.S. public pension funds to allocate to a spot Bitcoin ETF. By November 2024, a UK pension fund followed suit, making history by allocating 3% of its total assets to Bitcoin. Institutional and high-net-worth buying could prove pivotal in shaping Bitcoin’s trajectory in 2025.
The outlook for Bitcoin in 2025 suggests an action-packed year, with opportunities, challenges, and volatility ahead. As this article is published in early December, developments later in the month could still shape the 2025 outlook. Investors should stay updated on evolving factors, including policy changes and major market movements, to navigate the year effectively.
A Bitcoin slide from a record high earlier this week extended to more than 10%, as reduced scope for looser US monetary policy dampened speculative zeal.
The price of the original cryptocurrency dropped as low as $95,234 on Friday at 9 a.m. in London after setting an all-time high just above $108,000 earlier in the week. The downturn weighed heavier on smaller tokens like Ether and Dogecoin.
A group of US exchange-traded funds investing directly in Bitcoin on Thursday snapped a 15-day streak of continuous inflows to post a record outflow of $680 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, underscoring the shift in sentiment.
It’s “pretty typical” to see such corrections in crypto bull markets, said Strahinja Savic, head of data and analytics at FRNT Financial, while QCP Capital said in a note that the root cause of the selloff is the market’s “overly bullish” positioning. The Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot on Wednesday weighed on most risk assets. Bitcoin is still up almost 50% since pro-crypto Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election on Nov. 5.
With fewer Fed rate cuts now expected for 2025, some investors may be choosing to reduce their exposure and take profits.
#BTCNextMove There’s a strong case that Bitcoin is mirroring the 2011-2012 move, positioning it to break $1 million. If Bitcoin can reach $200K by the first days of the new presidency, it could hit $1.2 million as early as March 2025 because Bitcoin is a purely speculative asset. This article discusses the sentiment before Bitcoin hit its first psychological milestone of $1, and arguably the most important milestone, as it started from fractions of a cent, moved through volatility, and eventually exploded to $34. After hitting another milestone in $100,000 in December 2024, Bitcoin is now sitting around $107,000 and a move in sentiment similar to that of the $1 could propel Bitcoin to $1-3 million a coin by November 2025. $BTC
What Are AI Agents, and Why Is Everyone Talking About Them? 🤖✨
AI agents are the next big step in artificial intelligence. They’re intelligent software systems capable of performing tasks on behalf of humans — from finding flights and shopping to handling complex operations like project management or data analysis. For example, Google recently unveiled Project Mariner, which can help you book hotels, find recipes, and assist with purchases. These agents don’t just answer questions like chatbots — they act autonomously, sometimes navigating across multiple systems to handle tasks that require real automation. 🚀
However, there’s no universal definition yet. For some, an AI agent is like a virtual coworker, as in Asana. For others, it’s a smart assistant solving complex problems. But the key goal remains the same: minimize human involvement and make processes as autonomous as possible. Experts say the industry is still in its early stages, and AI agents have a lot to learn, especially when it comes to handling intricate, multi-step processes. Yet, the potential is massive: in the future, agents might not just respond to requests but independently plan and achieve abstract goals.
