VanEck Associates Corporation has once again confirmed its bullish Bitcoin (BTC) target for the end of this year. In a recent analysis by Mathew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital asset research, and Nathan Frankovitz, the company’s investment analyst, it was predicted that the BTC price will reach $180k before the end of 2025.
The analysts at VanEck emphasized that the BTC price will be influenced by a combination of risks and opportunities in the remaining months of 2025. Despite these factors, they remain confident that the BTC price is poised to rally to a new all-time high rather than experiencing a prolonged market correction.
“Macroeconomic events and seasonal investor activity could either prolong Bitcoin’s upward momentum or lead to profit-taking. Nevertheless, we are sticking to our $180k BTC price target by the end of the year,” stated the VanEck report.
Why is VanEck Betting on Bitcoin Price Rally by Year-end?
The price of Bitcoin has been displaying a macro bullish sentiment ever since President Donald Trump secured his second term in office. The positive regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the United States has attracted more institutional investors to the Bitcoin market, particularly through treasury strategies and spot BTC ETFs.
According to data from BitcoinTreasuries, a total of 294 entities, led by MicroStrategy (MSTR), have accumulated over 3.67 million Bitcoins. Additionally, U.S. spot BTC ETFs have seen a combined net cash inflow of $54.97 billion, resulting in total net assets of $151.9 billion.
A recent on-chain data analysis by Santiment revealed that Bitcoin whales and sharks, holding between 10 and 10k BTCs, have acquired 225,320 Bitcoins since March 22, 2025. This has brought their total holdings to 13.62 million BTCs.
In conclusion, VanEck’s optimistic outlook on Bitcoin’s price rally by the end of 2025 is supported by a combination of favorable macroeconomic conditions, increased institutional interest, and significant accumulation by large entities in the cryptocurrency market. As we approach the end of the year, all eyes will be on Bitcoin’s price movement to see if VanEck’s prediction of $180k will indeed come to fruition.
