TD₿: How High Will the Bitcoin Price Go in 2025? - (a Swan original video) with with Brady Swenson, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: From a potential U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve to exponential S-curve growth, 2025 could redefine Bitcoin’s global role and mark a pivotal moment in monetary history.
Hey Bitcoiners,
Bitcoin recently broke $100,000, driven by renewed optimism and discussions around President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). The SBR plan includes retaining 210,000 BTC seized by the government and potentially acquiring more, sparking speculation that Bitcoin will become a global reserve asset alongside gold and oil.
Analysts predict Bitcoin’s 2025 price could hit:
• $110,000 (89% chance),
• $150,000 (44% chance),
• $250,000 (14% chance),
• $1,000,000 (5-10% chance if the SBR is adopted).
Skeptics question the political feasibility of the SBR. Still, proponents argue it could trigger a global race among nations to accumulate Bitcoin, accelerating its role in the financial system. Analysts also highlight Bitcoin’s adoption following an exponential S-curve, suggesting rapid growth could surprise even bullish forecasts.

Bitcoin Hits $100,000 Amid Trump Trade Momentum and Mixed Market Sentiment
Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 milestone for the first time this year, briefly reaching above $102,000. This marks a recovery from a three-week dip below the psychological level, following a 5.6% drop on December 18.
Investor sentiment is buoyed by President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, set to be implemented after his January 20 inauguration. The plan involves retaining 210,000 bitcoins—currently worth around $21 billion—seized through criminal activities and potentially increasing government holdings.
