The prominent investor, author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad,’ and a noted Bitcoin (BTC) bull, Robert Kiyosaki, included a price target revision for the world’s premier cryptocurrency in the ‘Happy New Year’ X post he addressed to his followers.
Specifically, in a tweet published on January 2, Kiyosaki opined that BTC is likely to climb to between $175,000 and $350,000 during 2025 – between 80.5% and 261% above the coin’s press time price of $96,952.
Did ‘Rich Dad’ R. Kiyosaki just downgrade his Bitcoin forecast?
While it is nothing strange for the author to regularly discuss Bitcoin in his social media posts, the new price target is somewhat strange as – along with representing a rather broad range – it is somewhat less bullish than his previous forecasts.
Picks for you
Specifically, near the end of 2024, Robert Kiyosaki upgraded his previous $250,000 12-month prediction and provided a highly bullish $350,000 price target.
Furthermore, the latest revision came after something of a rough patch for Bitcoin – and many other coins and tokens – as, instead of providing a year’s end surge, the ‘Santa Claus rally’ transformed into a downturn that reduced the total digital assets’ market capitalization by about $200 billion in just a handful of days.
Additionally, it came shortly after a period that saw the world’s premier cryptocurrency drop from mid-December and all-time highs (ATH) above $108,000 and, at several points, even threatened to plunge below $91,000.
Still, it is possible that the new forecast is more of an effort to realistically include the crypto market’s famed volatility than a loss of confidence in BTC’s upcoming performance.
Market experts set Bitcoin price target for 2025
Indeed, Kiyosaki’s latest price target is in line with a forecast provided by one of the most notable Wall Street analysts – Fundstrat’s Tom Lee – who, in late December, estimated Bitcoin is headed for $250,000 in 2025.
Perhaps surprisingly given the author’s general attitude toward BTC, even the high end of his predicted range does not constitute the Street high expectation. A cryptocurrency lobbyist called Perianne Boring revealed in the final month of 2024 that it is not impossible for Bitcoin to surge above $800,000 in the ongoing year.
How Bitcoin’s 2025 performance reinforces the bull case
Looking at Bitcoin’s press time price, the bullish expectation again appears within reach as the cryptocurrency has seemingly started regaining its upward momentum.
For example, BTC has enjoyed a recovery from recent lows in the initial days of 2025 and is, with its press time price of $96,952, again slightly in the green in the 30 days chart.
The bull case is further reinforced by the fact that, despite the late 2024 downturn, Bitcoin managed a 118.15% rise in the last 12 months.
