Citi’s Bombshell Bitcoin Prediction: $135K Base Case, $199K if Bulls Run Wild in 2025

Wall Street's crystal ball just got a crypto upgrade. Citigroup analysts now see Bitcoin charging to $135,000 by December—with a moonshot scenario pushing toward $199,000 if the stars align.

The bank's base-case forecast implies a 150%+ rally from current levels, while their bullish case would make today's prices look like pocket change. Of course, this assumes traditional finance types don't panic-sell at the first 20% dip—something they've perfected over decades.

These targets come as institutional adoption hits escape velocity, with spot ETFs sucking up supply like a financial black hole. The halving's supply shock is now colliding with demand from hedge funds and corporate treasuries chasing the digital gold narrative.

Will Citi's prediction age like fine wine or spoiled milk? Only the market knows—but one thing's certain: the suits are finally taking Bitcoin seriously. Whether that's good or bad news depends on how much you trust bankers to understand decentralized money.
