Anthony Scaramucci Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $180K by End of 2025 – Here’s Why He’s Cautiously Optimistic

As Bitcoin recently experienced a 6% pullback, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and managing partner of investment firm SkyBridge Capital, forecasted that the cryptocurrency’s price will soar to between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025.

In an interview with CNBC during the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, Scaramucci referred to this as a “cautious price target.”

Scaramucci emphasized the significance of supply-and-demand dynamics as a primary factor influencing this optimistic outlook, stating, “there’s just way more demand than the issued supply of Bitcoin.”

He elaborated, “It’s a function of buying, with only 450 Bitcoin created by the network each day.” This limited supply reinforces the demand narrative that many market participants believe will drive prices higher.

In his conversation with CNBC, Scaramucci highlighted the growing trend of “consolidation and institutional adoption” of Bitcoin over the past year. He pointed to the launch of ETFs by major firms like BlackRock as indicative of increasing institutional interest.

“If you attended a conference like this three years ago, the audience was primarily retail investors and CEOs from the blockchain sector,” he noted. “Today, you see a significant presence of institutional investors.”

Scaramucci predicts that much of the influx of institutional capital will likely gravitate toward ETFs rather than corporate Bitcoin investment vehicles, such as MicroStrategy, a prominent tech firm known for its extensive Bitcoin treasury holdings. Scaramucci has previously voiced skepticism regarding companies that adopt MicroStrategy’s strategy of leveraging debt to acquire Bitcoin.

He posited that major financial institutions such as JPMorgan will likely opt to acquire Bitcoin through offerings like BlackRock’s IBIT Bitcoin ETF, which he described as “a very secure asset people can trust.” Scaramucci refers to this ETF as the “purest link to Bitcoin,” and as of now, it stands as the world’s largest BTC fund.

Other market experts share Scaramucci’s bullish sentiment. Recently, institutional investor VanEck also projected that Bitcoin might reach $180,000 by the end of 2025, further solidifying the outlook for the cryptocurrency’s future.

Stablecoins in, CBDCs out

On the topic of stablecoins, Scaramucci expressed optimism, suggesting that they could usher in a new era of technological innovation. He indicated that stablecoins may enable users to sidestep traditional fees associated with credit cards and other intermediaries.

However, his perspective was less favorable regarding the prospects of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

Scaramucci expressed concerns that CBDCs could be “too intrusive” from a privacy standpoint, emphasizing his preference for dollar-based stablecoins. This viewpoint aligns with opinions expressed by his former boss, U.S. President Donald Trump.
