Silicon Valley investor Tim Draper has reaffirmed his well-known position: Bitcoin is expected to hit a quarter of a million dollars by 2025.
The venture capitalist has maintained his previous price forecast of $250,000 for Bitcoin, although this time he outlined several elements that could propel the price upward.
He mentioned that the leading cryptocurrency could exceed “infinite against the dollar,” a prediction he had already made last month. He further stated that the US dollar would no longer exist in a decade, as Bitcoin would take its place.
“Following the recent increase, I still anticipate Bitcoin reaching $250,000 this year,” he posted on X, Wednesday.

The American billionaire identified several key factors that could elevate Bitcoin’s price to his predicted level.
He noted that there is “general optimism” as President Trump continues to negotiate trade agreements. A notable catalyst emerged recently when Trump’s Media & Technology Group announced it is closer to launching its own Bitcoin exchange-traded fund.
Another factor emphasized by Tim Draper includes forthcoming crypto regulatory frameworks in the US. On May 19, the U.S. Senate made a significant move toward regulating stablecoins by advancing the GENIUS Act with a bipartisan vote of 66-32.
Additionally, Republican lawmakers are advancing the ‘Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025,’ which has bipartisan support. This comprehensive legislation aims to establish clear guidelines for the US crypto market.
Tim Draper pointed out that Web3 applications built on the Bitcoin blockchain represent another element that could drive up BTC prices.
“Moreover, banks are incorporating it into their services. Even long-time holdout JPMorgan plans to offer it soon,” he stated.

Draper emphasized that Bitcoin is an “extremely low risk” asset compared to other cryptocurrencies and stocks as “people have faith in it.”
According to Bitcoin Treasuries, Saylor’s Strategy leads among companies holding BTC, with over 580,000 BTC, valued at $61 billion.
Furthermore, “Layer 2 solutions provide Bitcoin with the adaptability of Ethereum,” said Tim Draper. “The smart money recognizes what lies ahead.”
