When Will Bitcoin Hit $1 Million? Jeff Park Has the Answer

According to Park's latest prediction, there is a possibility that Bitcoin's price will hit $1 million in 2025. However, the chances are only around 10%.

According to Bitwise Asset Management’s Head of Alpha Strategies, Jeff Park, Bitcoin could hit $1 million in 2025, but only if the U.S. government establishes a strategic Bitcoin reserve. He assigns a 10% probability to this scenario.

In his latest analysis, Park examines the likelihood of Bitcoin reaching the coveted $1 million milestone within the next presidential term. His assessment hinges on the establishment of a U.S. federal Bitcoin reserve, a concept that has gained traction in recent months.

“The idea of a federal Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (1B BTC over 5 years) happening in 2025 is less than a 10% chance event,” Park noted in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on December 26, 2024. “That’s the only math in which Bitcoin can hit $1mm+ in 2025 when it happens.”

In a separate post on X, he demonstrates his analysis of the probability for this scenario to materialize.

Here is a simple illustration of how probability math works–Bottom right looks most probable to me, ie. 2.5% chance.

After a banner year in 2023, which saw Bitcoin rally over 1,400% to set a new all-time high above $108,000, cryptocurrency markets experienced a downturn in 2024. The flagship cryptocurrency began the year trading around $120,000 and has since lost over 20% of its value.

However, relative to its historical performance and compared to other asset classes, Bitcoin has demonstrated remarkable resilience. On Friday, December 27, 2024, Bitcoin is trading at $96,252 on Binance, with the price continuing to move within the same November-December consolidation range.

In my analysis, Bitcoin is currently benefiting from a compelling support zone defined by:

We also can't overlook the proximity to the psychological level of $90,000, which provides additional support for the current zone. When traders return from their Christmas and New Year's break, cryptocurrency markets should see renewed volatility, and in my opinion, we're likely to see a bounce from the current, clearly established support level.

What is the current target? First, the psychological $100,000 mark and the current ATH above $108,000.

As covered by Finbold, several institutions have provided their own 2025 Bitcoin price predictions, with varying degrees of optimism. Bitwise’s baseline scenario suggests Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, while Standard Chartered aligns with a similar projection. VanEck, on the other hand, predicts a peak of $180,000.

“Following this first peak, we anticipate a 30% retracement in BTC, with altcoins facing sharper declines of up to 60% as the market consolidates during the summer,” VanEck’s Matthew Sigel forecasted. “However, a recovery is likely in the fall, with major tokens regaining momentum and reclaiming previous all-time highs by the end of the year.”

The cryptocurrency market has already seen substantial institutional interest, with spot Bitcoin ETFs attracting over $36 billion in inflows. This trend is expected to continue, potentially supporting price appreciation even without government intervention.
