VanEck Associates Corporation has reiterated its bold Bitcoin (BTC) target for the end of this year. According to an analysis post by Mathew Sigel, VanEck’s head of digital asset research, and Nathan Frankovitz, the company’s investment analyst, the BTC price will hit $180k before the end of 2025.
VanEck’s analyst highlighted that the BTC price will be impacted by several intertwined risks and opportunities in the remaining months of 2025. Nevertheless, VanEck’s analyst highlighted that the BTC price is well-positioned to rebound to break out to a new all-time high instead of a multi-month market correction.
“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 VanEck report noted.
Why is VanEck Betting on Bitcoin Price Rally by Year-end?
Bitcoin price has recorded macro bullish sentiment since President Donald Trump got re-elected for the second term. The favorable crypto regulatory outlook in the United States has helped attract more institutional investors to the Bitcoin market, especially through treasury strategies and the spot BTC ETFs.
According to aggregate market data from BitcoinTreasuries, 294 entities, led by Strategy (MSTR), have accumulated more than 3.67 million Bitcoins. Meanwhile, the U.S. spot BTC ETFs have recorded a cumulative total net cash inflow of $54.97 billion, thus currently holding total net assets of $151.9 billion.
According to on-chain data analysis from Santiment, Bitcoin whales and sharks, with account balances of between 10 and 10k BTCs, have accumulated 225,320 Bitcoins since March 22, 2025. As a result, the cohort now holds a total of 13.62 million BTCs.
