Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of the investment firm SkyBridge Capital, expressed his belief that the price of Bitcoin could reach $180,000–$200,000 by the end of 2025. He made this optimistic forecast during an interview at the Wyoming Blockchain Symposium, pointing to increasing institutional demand and the limited supply of the cryptocurrency.

Growing Interest from Institutional Investors
Scaramucci emphasized the importance of institutional adoption of Bitcoin, particularly following the launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by BlackRock and the involvement of major players. He noted that over the past year, the market participant structure has significantly changed — attendees at leading conferences are now predominantly representatives of large institutions, rather than just retail investors or blockchain project leaders.
“There is simply much more demand than the issued or available total supply of Bitcoins in the market. It’s just a function of buying and the fact that only 450 BTC are created by the network each day.”
According to the expert, most large financial institutions will choose to invest in Bitcoin through ETFs, preferring safe instruments like BlackRock’s IBIT. Scaramucci described this financial product as “a very safe asset that people trust” and “the cleanest connection to Bitcoin.” He specifically predicted that banks like JPMorgan would also use these instruments to invest in the first cryptocurrency.
Prospects for Stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies
In addition to Bitcoin, the investor expressed a positive view on stablecoins, believing they will bring a “wave of technological innovation” and allow users to avoid payment system fees. Scaramucci also noted that he prefers dollar-backed stablecoins, a position shared by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
At the same time, he is skeptical about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). In his view, such currencies are “too intrusive” in terms of privacy protection.
It is worth noting that a similar forecast for Bitcoin’s price increase was previously made by the investment firm VanEck — in December 2024, they expected the asset to rise to $180,000 by the end of 2025. Other experts have also shared their own market predictions: CEO of Canary Capital Steven McClurg stated that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 this year, while Bitwise representative Andre Dragosh does not rule out a price increase to $200,000 after the asset is included in pension plans.
Let us also remind you that Anthony Scaramucci has previously criticized companies that issued bonds to buy Bitcoin, considering this strategy less effective than institutional investments through ETFs.
