Top Fund Manager Shares His Outlook
Alistair Milne, co-founder and chief investment officer (CIO) of Altana Digital Currency Fund (ADCF), outlined his predictions for Bitcoin in 2025 in a post on X. Milne joined ADCF in 2014 and his insights are influential in the investment community.
Bitcoin Predictions for 2025
Milne began his prediction by discussing the possible involvement of the United States in the accumulation of Bitcoin. “Some of my predictions for Bitcoin in 2025: The most important ones are: trump card Will not announce Bitcoin purchases on behalf of the United States in 2025, but he will sign an order preventing any seized BTC from being sold…creating a de facto reserve. It still creates global FOMO,” Milne said.

So Milne predicts Trump won’t follow U.S. Senator Cynthia LoomisThe Bitcoin Bill proposes to purchase 1 million Bitcoins over five years. However, Milne believes that the United States under President-elect Trump will retain its 198,109 Bitcoin (according to Arkham data) as a national reserve, as Trump promised at the last Bitcoin conference in Nashville, which may Can trigger fear of missing out (FOMO) on a global scale.
Milne predicts that internationally, smaller and more agile countries will increasingly adopt the technology. “Other smaller, more nimble countries (with the exception of Bhutan and El Salvador) will declare Bitcoin reserves and start buying or mining them before the United States. Middle Eastern countries will start declaring their holdings,” he noted.
Corporate participation in Bitcoin is also expected to rise. Milne predicts at least one more S&P 500 company, which means there won’t be Tesla MicroStrategy will announce its acquisition of Bitcoin in 2025.

Milne’s price prediction for Bitcoin remains bullish. He predicted, “Even if the U.S. government doesn’t buy, Bitcoin should reach around $200-250,000. If the U.S. does start buying, it’s expected to be closer to $500,000. Yes, by 2025. This is because it officially becomes a Nation-state arms race, and not enough Bitcoin.”
Milne also addressed market dynamics, predicting that Bitcoin will peak in the second half of this year. While his recommendation is for October, he believes the bear market will be “much milder than previous bear markets as nation states and corporations will slowly accumulate.”
Speaking about concerns related to security and market stability, Milne mentioned that “Bitfinex ended up returning most of the hacked BTC…causing the market to temporarily drop as people got scared and said they were going to sell Bitcoin (which they didn’t) Yes, they” we will slowly convert 80% of them into LEO within 18 months). “
The collapse and subsequent recovery of major exchanges also played a role in Milne’s prediction for Bitcoin in 2025. He said, “FTX started distributing dollars to creditors in the first quarter through several large exchanges… allowing them to easily reinvest in Bitcoin, etc… at least 50% of the returned funds will be reinvested.” The influx of reinvested funds is expected to inject liquidity into the Bitcoin market, thereby promoting a new round of price increases.
Milne did not ignore the performance of institutional investors, noting that “MSTR will achieve a ‘Bitcoin return’ of approximately 30% in 2025 before the premium ends.” Finally, Milne concluded by giving a speech to Silk Road founder Ross A letter from Ulbricht summarizing his Bitcoin predictions. During the campaign, incoming U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to free Ulbricht. He predicted Trump would follow through on his words: “Ross will be released.”
At press time, BTC was trading at $93,070.
