Bitcoin is on a rocket path to $1 million, with Finder’s expert panel citing institutional adoption, global instability, and digital scarcity as key drivers of unstoppable growth.
Financial comparison platform Finder released its quarterly survey of 24 cryptocurrency industry specialists on July 8, 2025, revealing a wide range of forecasts but an overall bullish trajectory for Bitcoin. Conducted in June 2025, the survey found that panelists on average expect Bitcoin (BTC) to be worth $145,167 by the end of 2025.
Long-term sentiment is even stronger. Finder noted that panelists predict BTC will reach $458,647 by 2030 and $1.02 million by 2035. These projections reflect continued institutional adoption, supply constraints, and Bitcoin’s positioning as a macroeconomic hedge.
Majority See Current Price as a Buying Opportunity
A striking 61% of panelists believe Bitcoin is currently a buy, and 52% say it is underpriced. Martin Froehler of Morpher attributes his top-end forecast to mounting “institutional demand.” Josh Fraser of Origin Protocol pointed to the current “flight to hard assets,” likening Bitcoin’s role to that of gold. Nicole DeCicco of CryptoConsultz emphasized foundational changes: “These aren’t short-term headlines — they’re foundational changes.”
In contrast, John Hawkins of the University of Canberra reiterated his skepticism, stating that Bitcoin “remains a speculative bubble.” Estimates for year-end vary substantially: Finder shared that the most bullish panelists see BTC trading at $250,000 by end of 2025, while the most bearish panelist sees it dropping well below current levels to $70,000.
Quantum Computing Risk and Long-Term Resilience
Although 79% of panelists flagged quantum computing as a security risk, the timeline for its impact remains uncertain. Nearly half said the Bitcoin community is ill-equipped to address these challenges. Still, advocates point to Bitcoin’s increasing relevance in institutional portfolios and resilience during global turmoil as signs of continued long-term strength.
The Finder survey paints a robust long-term picture for Bitcoin, with experts broadly agreeing that institutional inflows, supply scarcity, and macroeconomic uncertainty will propel prices higher over the next decade, despite short-term volatility and emerging technological risks.
