As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have seen my fair share of predictions that missed the mark, and Bitcoin‘s 2024 performance is no exception. While it’s always exciting to see new highs in the crypto market, the sheer volatility makes long-term forecasting a precarious endeavor.
By the close of 2024, we will see the expiration of numerous Bitcoin (BTC) price projections from prominent figures and firms within the crypto sector. As fresh speculations about 2025 prices and outlooks surface, it’s crucial to assess the accuracy of past predictions.
A variety of specialists and financial analysts forecasted that Bitcoin (BTC) would surge significantly beyond $100,000 before year’s end, while some were more cautious, suggesting it might not reach those heights due to underestimating the current bull market’s impact. Nevertheless, BTC reached a record high of $108,200 approximately a week ago and was trading at approximately $98,000 as the press deadline approached.
Experts’ BTC Predictions for 2024
As a researcher delving into the realm of cryptocurrencies, I’ve observed that some of my projections about executive forecasts have been slightly inaccurate, while others have come very close to hitting the bullseye.
In October 2023, Arthur Hayes, co-creator of the cryptocurrency exchange and futures trading platform BitMEX, and founder of Maelstrom Fund family office, predicted that Bitcoin would close out 2024 at roughly $70,000 due to various economic indicators. Furthermore, he suggested that by 2026, the value of Bitcoin could range from $750,000 to $1 million, given the potential for extraordinary growth in financial assets.
Hayes’ projection proved to be lower than the recent BTC market value, which has surpassed $100,000 in the past few weeks. Whether or not his 2026 prediction will materialize remains uncertain, but given the anticipated bear market for 2026, it seems improbable.
Hit or Miss?
In the current bullish phase, various industry specialists adjusted their forecasts as they closely followed the fluctuations in the Bitcoin market.
One such analyst is Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad. He initially predicted that BTC would be worth $300,000 by the end of 2024 but eventually changed his prediction to $105,000 by August 2025. Fortunately, his prediction fell a bit closer to bitcoin’s current price.
A different executive in the financial sector is venture capitalist Tim Draper, who initially predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) would be valued at around $250,000 by year-end in April. However, he later revised his prediction to a more modest $120,000. So far, BTC has not surpassed the $110,000 mark.
Mike Novogratz, head of crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, projected BTC would reach $500,000 by 2024 back in 2021. Yet, in March 2024, this Bitcoin supporter revised his end-of-year projection down to $100,000 instead.
Currently, the crypto world is excited about high expectations for Bitcoin’s future value. Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, forecasts that Bitcoin could be valued at around half a million dollars by 2026 and a million dollars by 2030. Conversely, Michael Saylor, founder and head of MicroStrategy (the largest corporate Bitcoin holder), predicts that Bitcoin’s worth could reach an astounding $13 million by 2045.
