According to experts in the Russian cryptocurrency sector, Bitcoin (BTC) prices could reach as high as $150,000 before the end of 2025, reflecting a surge of optimism among market participants in Moscow and beyond.
This weekend, the state-run Russian news agency TASS conducted interviews with prominent figures in the crypto industry, providing insights into their predictions for the cryptocurrency’s future.
Yan Pinchuk, deputy head of exchange operations at the crypto exchange Whitebird, noted that Bitcoin could achieve values ranging from $130,000 to $150,000 by year’s end. However, he cautioned that a brief downturn might occur before a robust recovery takes place.

Over the past year, Bitcoin has been subject to significant fluctuations. Miners have expressed even more ambitious forecasts. Anton Gontarev, Commercial Director at Intelion, a leading Bitcoin mining firm, stated that the immediate target for BTC is approximately $120,000 to $130,000. He further suggested that, after a minor correction, Bitcoin could surpass its previous all-time highs, potentially reaching between $168,000 and $184,000 by December.

‘All Eyes on the USA’
Pinchuk emphasized that a looming deadline for potential tariffs in the United States, set for August 1, might coincide with a reassessment of inflated stock market assets. He remarked, “Given the close correlation of Bitcoin with the tech sector, a stock market correction will likely cause the crypto market to sag temporarily.”
Other industry experts shared Pinchuk’s view, acknowledging that any further upward movement in Bitcoin’s price would likely be accompanied by a period of stagnation. They collectively agreed that the dynamics of the BTC market are increasingly influenced by economic trends and sentiment in the U.S.
Alexander Kraiko, a senior analyst at Cifra Markets, pointed out that the recent spike in Bitcoin prices could be attributed to the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes tax incentives and business support measures that enhance liquidity, some of which is being funneled into cryptocurrencies.

Further affirming the connection between U.S. economic data and market movements, Vasily Girya, CEO of GIS Mining, stated that key areas of focus include upcoming inflation reports due on July 15, which will be crucial in determining the likelihood of a rapid interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve. Girya projected that if current trends continue, Bitcoin might reach $135,000 by September 1, though a short-term correction around $118,500 could occur without disrupting the overall upward trajectory.
Until recently, positive Bitcoin price forecasts featuring insights from leading Russian industry figures were largely relegated to niche media outlets. However, a shift in Moscow’s stance towards cryptocurrency appears to have brought these discussions to the mainstream. The Kremlin now seems open to utilizing Bitcoin and altcoins as tools for international trade, while actively encouraging industrial miners to operate in areas with excess energy resources.
