Bitcoin to Hit $135K by Year-End in Base-Case Forecast, $199K in Bullish Scenario: Citi

Wall Street's crystal ball just got a crypto upgrade. Citi's latest forecast sends Bitcoin on a moonshot trajectory—with numbers that'll make even the most jaded trader double-take.

The floor? $135K by December.

That's the bank's base-case scenario as of July 2025, suggesting a near-tripling from current levels. But the real fireworks come when analysts flip to bullish mode.

The ceiling? A face-melting $199K.

Such targets would require Bitcoin to shatter its previous all-time highs—and leave gold bugs scrambling to justify their 19th-century asset. Citi's models apparently factor in everything from ETF inflows to halving mechanics, because why trust fundamentals when you've got hopium?

One hedge fund manager we spoke to muttered about 'price anchors' while adjusting his Lamborghini's seat warmer. Meanwhile, Bitcoin maximalists are already screenshotting the prediction for future 'I told you so' tweets.

Will it happen? Who knows. But after 17 years of 'Bitcoin is dead' headlines, the orange coin keeps printing new chapters—and new millionaires.
