Highlights
- Bitcoin price might hit $500,000 this year according to PlanB
- The S2F Founder sees BTC soaring as high as $1 million amid residual boost from halving
- Bitcoin adoption by institutional investors is growing and might fuel the price rebound
Stock-2-Flow (S2F) founder PlanB just took to the X platform to reaffirm that the price target for Bitcoin (BTC) is $500,000. He claimed that his forward guidance for the coin has not changed in the last three years when Bitcoin price traded at just $20,000. This latest forecast is one of the boldest for the coin looking ahead into 2025.
Factors to Drive the Price Growth – Halving and Pump
PlanB highlighted two of his previous X posts where he made some predictions about the future outlook of Bitcoin.
One of these posts dates back to October 2022 while he shared the other last year. In the earlier post, the analyst noted that his forward guidance for the next three years for Bitcoin takes account of the 2024 halving event. He noted that the halving can significantly boost the price of BTC.
PlanB is convinced that most of the Stock-2-Flow (S2F) model impact will play out this year. Utlimately, this validates the S2F target of approximately $500,000 projected for this year.
Before Q4, 2024 came to an end, Bitcoin price hit $100,000 and rallied as high as $108,000, setting it as an All-Time High (ATH).
The coin has pared off its gains thus far. At the moment, the coin is currently trading at $94,591.42 amid a 1.16% surge in the past 24 hours. Per his latest forecast, PlanB struck the $100,000 level from his list. Besides the average target of $500,000, he said the coin could trade in the high range of $250,000 to $1 million.
My forward guidance for 2025 has not changed since 2022 (when bitcoin was 20k, see below):
✅rise into April 2024 halving
✅halving around S2F value
✅pump after halving
✅ 100k in 2024
⬜️ 2025: hit S2F target ~500k average (range 250k-1m) https://t.co/Neet5BQ90W pic.twitter.com/osA3vXAW9D— PlanB (@100trillionUSD) January 1, 2025
The New 2025 Bitcoin Price Range Target
The PlanB price target for Bitcoin may seem insurmountable to a few market observers but it is worth noting that it aligns with predictions from other experts.
The general 2025 BTC price predictions noted that the coin’s valuation may fall within the range of $150,000 to $300,000. Several experts believe the potential establishment of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve will be a key event that could help propel the coin to new highs in 2025.
Institutional investors’ adoption is another factor that could serve as a lever for the price of the coin. Business intelligence and software firm MicroStrategy is one of the institutions leading this movement. Recently, MicroStrategy bought 2,138 BTC for $209 million to take its total count to 446,400 BTC.
Other firms like Riot Platforms and Semler Scientific are also joining the trend.
