Bitcoin to $250K? – Charles Hoskinson has this to say!

According to Cardano‘s founder, BTC might hit $250K in 2025 or next year. Yep, you heard that right.
Bitcoin‘s network activity has dipped 22%, signaling the demand might be, well, “taking a nap” in Q1.

Bitcoin, that digital enigma that can’t decide if it’s a millionaire maker or a digital rollercoaster, might just surprise us all. Even though it’s been sulking below $100K in a world full of uncertainty, Bitcoin [BTC] could more than double by the end of 2025—or 2026, because who doesn’t love a good guessing game? In a chat with CNBC on April 9th, Cardano’s founder Charles Hoskinson decided to toss us a little nugget of optimism:

“I think Bitcoin will be over $250,000 by the end of this year or next year.”

So, what’s the reasoning behind this wild prediction? Hoskinson blames it on the Fed, stablecoin regulations, and people finally realizing crypto is “the thing.” He brushed off the looming tariff wars like they were a nuisance at a family reunion and said,

“The markets will stabilize a little bit, and they’ll get used to the new normal, and then the Fed will lower interest rates, and then you’ll have a lot of fast, cheap money, and then it’ll pour into crypto.”

So, is BTC really going to cross $200K?

In addition to his bold prediction, Hoskinson believes that upcoming stablecoin regulation could finally get big companies onboard. Apparently, global conflicts will be the nudge countries need to adopt crypto for international settlements. (Right, because that’s what we need—more reasons to make crypto sound like a global savior.)

He also forecasted,

“The crypto market will stall for probably the next three to five months, and then you’ll have a huge wave of speculative interest come, probably in August or September, into the markets, and that’ll carry through probably another six to 12 months.”

Well, isn’t that a lovely timeline? A break now, a burst later. Sign me up for that ride! And surprisingly, the Mayer Multiple valuation model seems to support his optimistic vision. According to it, BTC could hit $208K if it crosses $87K. Talk about a math lesson in the making!

As for the Pi Cycle top indicator (yes, that’s a thing), it seems there’s still more room for growth before Bitcoin hits its peak. The indicator has historically marked the tops when the 111DMA crosses the adjusted 350-day Moving Average. If you’re not familiar with this, don’t worry, just nod along like you understand it and pretend you’re in a serious financial conversation.

At the moment, the 350-Daily Moving Average (DMA) is above $150K, so, if you’re a betting person, maybe keep your eyes peeled for a surge. But don’t get too excited just yet.

In the short term, Bitcoin is likely to zigzag around the $80K mark, at least until its network growth recovers. CryptoQuant says Bitcoin’s network growth has dropped 22% due to fewer active users. It went from 101K users to 78K, which, to put it mildly, isn’t exactly a rave. For Hoskinson’s prediction to hold water, the network activity better start buzzing like a coffee shop on a Monday morning.
