In particular, in a tweet posted on January 2, Kiyosaki expressed the view that BTC is likely to rise to $175,000 to $350,000 during 2025 — an increase of 80.5% to 261% above the coin's price at the time of writing — $96,952.

Although the author frequently discusses the coin on his social media, the new target range appears somewhat unusual, particularly the projected lower price threshold for BTC. Furthermore, it is quite broad, and the forecast is less optimistic compared to his previous estimates.
At the end of 2024, Kiyosaki raised his previous 12-month forecast from $250,000 to a significantly optimistic figure of $350,000.
The latest update came after a challenging period for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Instead of the anticipated "Christmas rally," the market experienced a decline, losing about $200 billion in market capitalization of digital assets in just a few days.
Additionally, this occurred after a period when the price of BTC fell from record highs of over $108,000 in late December and dipped below the $91,000 mark several times.
However, the new forecast is likely an attempt to account for the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market, rather than a sign of lost confidence in the future growth of BTC.
