VanEck declares Bitcoin will reach $180,000 by the end of the year
Today, VanEck announced the ChainCheck Bitcoin report for mid-August 2025, which analyzes several key data points related to the performance of BTC. The company predicts that this token will reach 180,000 USD by the end of the year.
VanEck's Bitcoin Prediction
VanEck, one of the leading cryptocurrency ETF issuers, has extensive experience in researching market trends and drawing important conclusions about price potentials. A few months ago, they painted a bright picture for Bitcoin, and currently, VanEck continues to affirm the prediction that BTC will reach 180,000 USD by 2025:
"As autumn approaches, some related risks and opportunities are emerging. Macroeconomic developments and seasonal re-engagement of investors could either prolong the momentum of Bitcoin or lead to profit-taking. However, we remain steadfast in our BTC price target of 180,000 USD by the end of the year," the report stated.
Reasons VanEck Trusts Bitcoin
The mid-August 2025 ChainCheck report from VanEck examined several core data points to support this prediction. The company noted that the recent all-time high of BTC occurred at a favorable time, when 92% of assets on-chain were profitable before the temporary price surge.
In addition, the increase in investment from companies has helped BTC maintain its strength, even as Ethereum is attracting a large influx of capital from institutions. VanEck stated that the stable commitment of the investment strategy has encouraged a new wave of interest in Bitcoin.
This model is repeated in many different fields of analysis. Although there are some obvious obstacles, the reality is not a serious issue. For example, BTC's dominance on-chain has significantly decreased compared to ETH, partly due to the decline in the use of Ordinals.
However, VanEck does not see this as a serious issue for Bitcoin, as capital from businesses is keeping volatility low.
The mining difficulty of BTC reached an all-time high last month, but the revenue from mining continues to grow. VanEck also noted the partial pivot of TeraWulf away from Bitcoin, but does not see this as a negative factor.
The mining industry in the US is accounting for a larger share of the global hashrate as the market is in the process of consolidation.
Things to Note
However, there are still some issues that need to be addressed. VanEck has pointed out that the Bitcoin reserves of companies could lead to a larger downturn. If BTC's volatility remains low for an extended period, this could affect the ability to raise funds for future investments, thereby increasing negative price fluctuations.
However, overall, VanEck's prediction remains very optimistic.
