His latest comments come as Bitcoin struggles with recent volatility but remains a popular investment choice among institutional and retail traders.


The co-founder of Fundstrat expressed his opinions on CNBC’s Squawk Box, referencing a variety of favorable fundamentals for the price of Bitcoin. Bitcoin Volatility And Market Movements


In recent months, the top coin has had a lot of ups and downs. In February 2025, the top cryptocurrency saw a nearly 24% decline, which caused some investors to lose faith.


In spite of this, the current price of Bitcoin is nearly $84,500. During the day, it fluctuated between a high of $90,400 and a low of $82,500. Lee, nevertheless, is unconcerned with the fluctuations and thinks that BTC’s long-term prospects surpass its short-term declines.

Growing participation of significant financial actors is one of the main causes of Lee’s confidence. Companies like Citadel have entered the crypto space to give Bitcoin more legitimacy. The alpha coin’s use case gets stronger for future expansion the more conventional institutions interact with digital assets. “I think Bitcoin makes a beeline back towards its long-term trend line, which is probably $82,000 in the near term, $150,000 before year-end,” says @fundstrat‘s Tom Lee as $BTC closes in on its all-time high. pic.twitter.com/g4p6VOTECx

Other financial behemoths also show great optimism for Bitcoin. Both Bitwise and Standard Chartered project Bitcoin to reach $200,000 in 2025. Such forecasts support Lee’s point of view and confirm that Bitcoin still has lots of space to expand. BTC is now trading at $86,617. Chart: TradingView Government Influence On Bitcoin’s Future


Regulatory decisions could also play a role in Bitcoin’s performance this year. United States President Donald Trump recently declared his intention to establish a strategic cryptocurrency reserve. This action suggests that the government is becoming more interested in digital assets, which could affect market sentiment and raise prices.


At the same time, regulatory uncertainty still influences changes in the price of Bitcoin. Even if institutional usage is growing, market observers will closely monitor any changes to regulations that may have an impact on the future of cryptocurrencies.

Lee tells people who want to invest in Bitcoin to think about the long run. He says that there are often short, unpredictable bursts of growth for the coin. He says it’s dangerous to try to time the market. Instead, it might be smarter to hold on to Bitcoin for a long time.


Bitcoin’s price isn’t stable at all, but buyers are still interested in it because it has a history of strong recovery. If Lee is right, 2025 could be another big year for the biggest coin in the world.
