Bitcoin on Top 4 Best Performers’ List of 2025 Returns: Bloomberg Analyst

by

As a seasoned researcher with decades of experience in the financial markets, I find myself intrigued by the bullish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin for 2025. Eric Balchunas’ tweet on the first day of the year highlights an impressive start for Bitcoin, positioning it among gold miners, uranium, and psychedelics as top performers. On the other hand, traditional assets like China, treasuries, and lithium seem to be off to a rocky start.

Robert Kiyosaki’s adjusted prediction for Bitcoin in 2025, ranging from $175,000 to as high as $350,000, is particularly noteworthy given his reputation and influence in the financial world. His concerns about the US national debt, excessive government spending, and the devaluation of the US dollar due to Fed Reserve’s money printing all seem pertinent, and they underscore the potential appeal of Bitcoin as a safe haven asset.

It’s worth noting that while these predictions are certainly optimistic, they do align with the general trend towards increased adoption and acceptance of Bitcoin in mainstream financial circles. As more institutions and governments embrace cryptocurrencies, it’s not unreasonable to expect prices to surge as a result.

And now for a bit of humor: If Bitcoin does reach $350,000 this year, I might just have to start mining my own crypto… from the couch! After all, who needs physical labor when you can earn digital gold without breaking a sweat, right?

Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, shared on his social media platform that Bitcoin is off to a strong start in 2025, outperforming numerous other investments.

Today, Balchunas posted that Bitcoin, currently the world’s leading cryptocurrency by market value, is showing impressive performance as we enter the year 2025. Gold, mining companies specializing in gold extraction, uranium, and psychedelics are also included on this list of top performers.

Based on a tweet by Balchunas, the poorest performers thus far are China, U.S. Treasuries, and lithium assets.

As a seasoned investor with years of experience under my belt, I find myself drawn to analyzing the opening day of the new year’s returns. While I acknowledge that it can often be just noise in the market, I’ve found that sometimes it sets the tone for the calendar year ahead. For instance, I’ve noticed that gold miners, uranium, psychedelics, and bitcoin tend to perform exceptionally well, while sectors like China, treasuries, and lithium struggle. This pattern has proven itself over time in my own investment journey, and I always keep a close eye on these trends as the new year unfolds.

Kiyosaki adjusts his Bitcoin 2025 prediction

Renowned investor and businessman Robert Kiyosaki, famously known as the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has recently revised his Bitcoin price projection for 2025. In contrast to his prediction from late last year, he now offers a different perspective on Bitcoin’s future value.

Twice last December, Kiyosaki predicted on Twitter that Bitcoin could potentially reach $350,000 by 2025. This prediction is based on his belief that the United States now has a president who supports cryptocurrency. During his campaign, this president pledged to encourage Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, pass relevant legislation for them, and even establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the country during his next four years in office.

Happy New Year

Additionally, throughout 2024 and prior dates, Kiyosaki frequently points out the rapid increase in U.S. national debt along with the government’s excessive spending. He also highlights the practice by the Federal Reserve of printing vast amounts of U.S. dollars, which seemingly materializes from nowhere, thereby eroding the strength of the U.S. dollar as a currency and diminishing its buying power.

Following his initial prediction of Bitcoin reaching $350,000 by 2025, Kiyosaki revised his stance slightly in a tweet on January 2. Now, he anticipates that the price could rise to at least $175,000 and potentially extend its growth towards the previously stated level of $350,000.

Bitcoin price action

Starting January 1, 2025, Bitcoin experienced a noteworthy price surge of approximately 4.86%. After hitting a local low of $93,000, it has since recovered and currently trades around $97,600 – its current value as I’m writing this.

A significant number of analysts anticipate and wish for Bitcoin to reach and surpass the $108,000 mark again this year, given its optimistic forecasts.
