VanEck Predicts Bitcoin Will Shatter Records by Year-End
Investment giant VanEck is doubling down on its year-end Bitcoin prediction, projecting the cryptocurrency could hit $180,000 before 2025 closes.
In a recent analysis, Mathew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital asset research, and analyst Nathan Frankovitz, argued that Bitcoin remains well-positioned to break into new all-time highs despite short-term volatility.
“Macroeconomic developments and seasonal investor re-engagement could either extend Bitcoin’s momentum or prompt profit-taking. Still, we stick with our $180k BTC price target by year-end,” the report stated.
Why VanEck Is Bullish on BTC
The analysts cited a mix of regulatory progress and institutional adoption as primary drivers. Since President Donald Trump’s re-election, U.S. crypto policy has turned more favorable, encouraging both corporate treasury allocations and continued growth of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Data from BitcoinTreasuries shows that 294 entities — led by Strategy (MSTR) — now hold over 3.67 million BTC collectively. Meanwhile, U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $54.97 billion in net inflows, boosting their combined assets to $151.9 billion.
On-Chain Signals Support the Case
On-chain data from Santiment reveals that whales and sharks holding between 10 and 10,000 BTC have accumulated an additional 225,320 coins since March 2025. This group now controls a total of 13.62 million BTC, underscoring growing confidence among large investors.
For VanEck, these supply dynamics, coupled with strong institutional demand, are setting the stage for Bitcoin’s push toward $180,000 by the end of the year.
