What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin (BTC) is the first digital currency backed by blockchain technology. It was created by an anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, in 2008 and was launched in January 2009. Bitcoin Blockchain acts as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that employs cryptography to facilitate its transactions between sender and receiver without the need for any central authority.

To verify each transaction, Bitcoin follows a proof of work (PoW) consensus algorithm, where its network nodes compete to solve a mathematical problem proposed by the Bitcoin blockchain. This Blockchain works like a ledger with a record of all Bitcoin transactions divided into various blocks. These blocks are interconnected to form a chain of blocks, a.k .a. Blockchain.

Whichever mining node solves the mathematical problem earliest gets to verify a certain number of Bitcoin transactions that can form a block. Miners use their computation power to solve the mathematical problem and validate the transactions. Once the miner successfully validates the transactions, the miner sends the block of these transactions to the Bitcoin ledger. After these transactions add up to the Bitcoin ledger, they become immutable. In exchange for all the work done by the miner, the Bitcoin blockchain rewards them with a mining reward. This mining reward for every successful block validation is reduced to half every four years via an event called Bitcoin Halving.

The Bitcoin blockchain completed four halvings in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024. The last Bitcoin Halving (Bitcoin Halving 2024) took place in April when the Bitcoin mining reward was reduced to 3.125 BTC. Historically, every halving has been followed by a massive bull run for the crypto market and Bitcoin (BTC). Currently, Bitcoin is trading at nearly $97,500.

Now that we have our memory jogger for Bitcoin and why it is so valuable, let’s discuss the Bitcoin Price Prediction for 2024, 2025, 2026, 2030, 2040, and 2050.

Latest Bitcoin Price History from 2023-2024

2023 was a decent year for Bitcoin (BTC) as it registered a 147% surge, rising to $44,000 from $17100 in 12 months. It broke multiple resistance levels of $30,000, $35,000, and $40,000 in 2023. The emergence and instant popularity of Bitcoin ordinals gave Bitcoin its much-needed kick at the beginning of this year. For those who do not know, Bitcoin Ordinals allows the storage of any digital art (text, image, video, GIF, etc.) in the Bitcoin blockchain. In simple terms, they introduced a new protocol in the Bitcoin system through which anyone can authorize an NFT by the Bitcoin blockchain.

By diversifying the use cases of the Bitcoin blockchain, which was earlier usable only for peer-to-peer value transfer, Ordinals increased BTC price by nearly $2000 within a week. The momentum gained by the launch of Ordinals continued till April when BTC's price broke a significant resistance of $30,000.

After a month-long pullback period in May, the news of BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, applying for Bitcoin Spot ETF came in on June 15th. Soon, various other industry giants like Fidelity, Wisdom Tree, Bitwise, Invesco, Ark Invest, and VanEck followed the lead of Blackrock by applying for Bitcoin Spot ETFs. It was big news for Bitcoin adoption as the top regulator has rejected the same applications of small asset managers.

But this time, the big players with impeccable track records of getting approvals applied for Bitcoin ETFs. As a result, the BTC price slowly started to move back on track by surging to nearly $5000 within a week. BTC saw no significant price spikes in the next two months. On August 29, 2023, the possibility of Bitcoin ETFs getting approval got higher when Grayscale (a prominent crypto entity) won its years-old case against the SEC (US Securities & Exchange Commission). The court ruled on Tuesday that the SEC must review Grayscale’s application to convert its Bitcoin Trust into an exchange-traded fund. However, not much effect was seen on the Bitcoin price in September.

October turned out differently when Bitcoin (BTC) saw a 27% surge as the traders panic-bought BTC amid the excitement of Bitcoin ETFs. By the end of October, BTC was trading at $34,500. This rally continued but slowed in November when BTC surged over $3000. The price growth of BTC became almost parabolic in the first week of December 2023, when BTC broke its crucial $40,000 mark and even managed to hit $44,590. Due to this jump in BTC price, Bitcoin miners have sold an additional 1000 BTC worth $44 million within a week. Moreover, the on-chain data of this crypto that a Bitcoin whale, Mara Pool, also booked a profit, contributing to the dump of 7% in Bitcoin price. Such significant sell-offs from miners and whales caused Bitcoin prices to come down to $40,000.

If we talk about the last three weeks of December, investors were reaching a stage of a strong belief in the future of Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index of Bitcoin also was sitting above 70 in Greed, indicating the expanding risk appetite of investors. However, the king crypto still faced the danger of a deeper correction that could take its price to as low as $37,360 in the coming days.

Bitcoin ended the year with an upward trend of nearly $42,000.

At the beginning of 2024, things started to turn in favour of Bitcoin when the U.S. SEC finally approved all Bitcoin Spot ETF applications on January 10, 2024. This news followed the actual listing of many Bitcoin spot ETFs in the US stock market in the next few weeks. It was a significant event in crypto history as US investors could invest in Bitcoin in a regulated stock market environment for the first time. Though this event did not directly impact the Bitcoin price, experts hinted that a bullish pattern was building up. When these newly launched Bitcoin ETFs started to gain record fund inflows by February, the Bitcoin price began to surge. After months of consolidation and corrections, the market sentiments shifted to the bullish side. Alongside $BTC crossing over $57,000 after surging 32% in less than a month, multiple meme coins and altcoins also began to pump amid the encouraging crypto adoption scenario.

Bullish sentiments further strengthened, with Bitcoin's halving scheduled for April 2024 approaching. To everyone’s surprise, Bitcoin made a new all-time high before the halving ended. This was the first time in Bitcoin history that it made a new all-time high before its next halving. However, as soon as the halving finished, Bitcoin's price entered a correction phase. The reason was probably the short-selling by those who expected an immediate price surge post-halving but couldn’t get it. From May to September, Bitcoin prices kept consolidating between $55,000 to $72,000.

In November, Bitcoin's price chart began forming a bullish pattern, coinciding with the hype for the U.S. presidential elections. This upward movement aligned with candidate Donald Trump's pro-Bitcoin statements and promises, influencing market sentiment. On November 5th, when the election results came out, revealing Trump’s victory, Bitcoin's price surge became parabolic. Within a month, Bitcoin price boosted over 35%, finally breaking the long-going consolidation phase. During this period, Bitcoin price has hit multiple new all-time highs. And finally crossing the much awaited $100k mark and zipping up the lips of all the naysayers. 

Isn’t it crazy?

But will it get crazier?

Let’s know in the Bitcoin price predictions for 2024 (December), 2025, 2026, 2030 and 2040.

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2024

Bitcoin price performance so far in 2024 has been spectacular and extremely bullish. It has showcased over 162% YoY growth, hitting multiple new all-time highs. Now, with only a few days remaining before the year ends, Bitcoin is on ATH spree and has already touched $108k.

According to a crypto analyst, Bitcoin’s ongoing price movement is similar to how it performed in December 2020. He further stated that such price movement can pump Bitcoin to as high as $108,000 which it already did,  drop to $99,000 and bounce to $135,000.

Another scenario supporting this argument is the history of a bull market rising after every Bitcoin halving. Since the first Bitcoin halving in 2012, the crypto market has experienced a gigantic bull market after a few months due to changes in supply and demand dynamics.

Since this year, the Bitcoin spot ETFs have been experiencing strong fund inflows, suggesting a strong spike in the Bitcoin demand. The supply of Bitcoin has eventually slowed down, with the Bitcoin mining reward slashed in half after halving. Moreover, the winning candidate of U.S. presidential election 2024; Trump’s strong stance for crypto, particularly Bitcoin is giving much hope for Bitcoin’s meteoric performance. All these factors cumulatively may make a perfect recipe for significant price pumps by 2024. On the other hand, the chances of Bitcoin price correcting after surging for over a week now also stay.

Considering all these scenarios, our Bitcoin price prediction for 2024 in USD is $110k (maximum), $89k (minimum), and $97k (average).

The same Bitcoin price prediction for 2024 in INR is - ₹88,69,570 (maximum), ₹93,61,498 (minimum) and ₹75,18,015 (average).

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2025

Investors are expecting Bitcoin Price Prediction 2025 to be highly bullish. The key reason behind it is Bitcoin's historical performance. In all three Bitcoin halvings to date, the year after the halving has turned out bullish for Bitcoin and the entire crypto market. When the first Bitcoin Halving was completed in 2012, which reduced the Bitcoin mining reward from 50 BTC to 25 BTC, Bitcoin registered a stellar surge of 8500% in less than a year.

Then, after the second bitcoin halving in 2016, the crypto again did a wild roaring by surging from $650 to $20,080 in the next 1.5 years. Bitcoin followed the same trajectory in its third bitcoin halving of 2020 when the coin reward was reduced from 12.5 BTC to 6.25 BTC. By the end of 2021, BTC's price revived from $8787 and reached its all-time high of $66000.

All these historical observations are paving the way for an overall bullish Bitcoin price prediction for 2025 (the year after the next Bitcoin halving of 2024). Multiple prominent market analysts expect Bitcoin to mirror this historical tradition of increasing tremendously in the next year after halving.

Ali, a technical crypto analyst, also shared that the bull run history of Bitcoin post-halving might repeat itself. He further shared that the next market peak can come by October 2025 if it happens. According to this analysis, BTC has nearly two years of bullish momentum ahead.

Other factors that can affect the Bitcoin price movement in 2025 are the FED interest rate changes and the updates about crypto regulations. FED interest rate hikes directly impact the crypto market by increasing investors' risk appetite. Investors react bullishly when the FED interest rate hikes are low or null. Since the US FED has now been slashing its interest rates for a few months now, investors may turn bullish for higher risk assets like Bitcoin. Plus, the talks of crypto regulations can also grow louder now after Donald Trump won the presidential elections. With his pro-bitcoin stance, the chances of progressive and positive crypto regulations look strong. Recent news confirms that the U.S. has officially announced the addition of strategic Bitcoin reserves, with approximately 200,000 Bitcoins added to its treasury. Following this, a U.S. Bitcoin buying spree is anticipated in 2025 after Trump takes his presidential oath, which is expected to drive up its price.

However, despite various evidence supporting this fact, it is suitable for investors to prepare for the worst-case scenarios, as any black swan event can bleed the market red.

Given all these factors, our Bitcoin price prediction 2025 is $150k in the bullish case and $95k in the bearish case, with $122k as the average.

This Bitcoin price prediction for 2025 translates to ₹1,26,70,813 (bullish case), ₹80,24,848 (bearish case), and 87,93,510 (average).

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2026

2026 could be the year of correction for Bitcoin as the bull market driven by bitcoin halving 2024 would end by then. However, many industry experts believe the crypto market can get the much-awaited regulatory framework till then. If it happens, Bitcoin can experience some extra volatile months in 2026 as the market may have mixed reactions to the regulatory framework.

One possibility that Bitcoiners believe would come true is an extended bull run caused by a financial crisis in the USA. The founder of BitMEX, Arthur Hayes, recently made a case on the same topic by stating that a financial crisis in the USA is inevitable, and when it happens, people will prefer buying nonconventional investment classes like crypto with minimal government involvement. Considering this scenario, Hayes expects Bitcoin to hit $750,000 by 2026, mounting on out-of-control inflation and the tragic fall of the financial system.

Citing all these factors, our Bitcoin price prediction for 2026 is $135k as the potential high point and $73k as the likely low. The average price for that year could be $90k.

The same Bitcoin Price prediction for 2026 in INR is - ₹1,14,03,731 (maximum), ₹61,66,462 (minimum) and ₹76,02,487 (average).

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2030

Multiple exciting developments have occurred around Bitcoin price prediction 2030 after the coin reached closer to the $100k mark. The most crucial is the recent price target by well-known Bitcoin investor Cathie Wood. Being a vocal supporter of the cryptocurrency sector for years, Cathie shared a price target of $3.8 million for BTC by 2030. She hinted towards the possibility of a positive White House administration towards crypto as the key reason behind such a high Bitcoin price prediction for 2030.

According to her, the institutional green light that the US SEC has given by approving Bitcoin ETFs may pave the way for multiple institutions to allocate more than 5% of their portfolio to Bitcoin. This allocation can become the foundation for the Bitcoin price to hit $3.8 million by 2030.

As per the current market sentiments, news, and improvements, Bitcoin is expected to gain mainstream adoption by 2030. With talks on crypto regulation getting louder and top financial players showing high interest in Bitcoin, mass adoption seems achievable for Bitcoin by 2030. Moreover, by then, Bitcoin will complete two halvings in 2024 and 2028, indicating the possibility of two bull runs. Due to these conditions, many analysts believe Bitcoin could be approaching a $1M price point by 2030. However, for others, it still seems like a far-fetched dream.

Thus, our Bitcoin Price prediction for 2030 in USD- $776k (maximum), $467k (minimum), and $532k (average).

The same BTC price prediction for 2030 in INR is- ₹6,55,66,623 (maximum), ₹3,94,58,264 (minimum), and ₹4,49,50,313 (average).

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2040

For BTC price prediction in 2040, the key factor to consider is the limited supply of Bitcoin. Since the supply of new BTC in the market is reducing at an alarming rate with each bitcoin halving, 2040 might be the year with extremely few BTC in circulation.

A key reason behind considering this possibility is the rising use of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge and store of value. If Bitcoin continues to prove itself as a successful inflation hedge like Gold and USD, it is likely to shoot up to highs like never before in 2040.

On the other hand, if its currency use cases emerge stronger, the growth might be a little slower. However, in both cases, Bitcoin seems to reach new highs.

Thus, our Bitcoin price prediction for 2040 in USD is - $990k (maximum), $790k (minimum) and $850k (average).

The same BTC price prediction for 2040 in INR is - ₹8,36,48,140 (maximum), ₹6,67,49,526 (minimum) and ₹7,18,19,110 (average).

Bitcoin Price Prediction 2050

By 2050, Bitcoin's journey as a transformative asset could redefine global finance. With its fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is anticipated to become even scarcer due to sustained halvings and potential loss of access to some BTC over the decades. This scarcity, coupled with mainstream adoption and institutional backing, could drive its price to astronomical levels.

With optimistic predictions, we think Bitcoin can exceed the $1 million mark by 2050. The growing acceptance of Bitcoin as digital gold and a hedge against inflation, especially in economically unstable regions, will amplify its demand. However, regulatory developments, competition from other cryptocurrencies, and technological risks may influence its trajectory.

Thus, our Bitcoin price prediction for 2050 in USD is - $3.1M (maximum), $1.1M (minimum) and $1.9 (average).

This BTC price prediction for 2050 in INR translates to - ₹26,19,28,520 (maximum), ₹9,29,42,378 (minimum) and ₹16,05,36,835 (average).

Can Bitcoin Price Hit $150k In 2025?

If we look at the current bitcoin price, market sentiments, and other macroeconomic factors related to the crypto market, Bitcoin is experiencing a year of recovery.

It has surpassed the $108K mark and can reach even higher by the end of 2024. This paves the way for Bitcoin to trade over the $150K mark in 2025 and reach as high as $170K, as per our BTC price prediction. With Trump's pro-stance on Bitcoin and U.S. regulatory policies in favor of cryptocurrency, such as building strategic Bitcoin reserves, Bitcoin can be further propelled to reach a higher price level. Consequently, Donald Trump’s fondness for Bitcoin has spurred optimism among crypto investors around the world. As everyone is eyeing Bitcoin, the increasing demand can act as a catalyst for Bitcoin to smoothly touch the $150K mark.
