Seiler: “Bitcoin to reach $150,000 by end of 2025”… Regulatory easing and institutional adoption as basis

Michael Seiler, co-founder of Strategy, forecasts that the price of Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $150,000 (about 200 million won) by the end of 2025. He cited changes in the regulatory environment and increased institutional adoption in the U.S. as key reasons.

Seiler emphasized in an interview with CNBC at the “Money 20/20” conference in Las Vegas on the 10th (local time) that “the past 12 months have been the most important period in the history of the cryptocurrency industry.” He analyzed that positive changes are occurring in the market, mentioning the SEC's acceptance of “tokenized securities” and the U.S. Treasury's support for stablecoins to maintain dollar hegemony.

He said, “The current expectation is that the price of Bitcoin will reach $150,000 by the end of the year,” adding, “This is the common opinion of stock market analysts analyzing the Bitcoin industry, including our company.”

Comment: As Strategy is the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, Seiler's statement can give a strong signal to the market beyond mere optimism. In particular, the fact that key institutions like the SEC and the Treasury have begun to show cryptocurrency-friendly positions is likely to have a favorable effect on expanding Bitcoin demand.
