Tom Lee cools on $250K Bitcoin call, year-end ATH now just a ‘maybe’

BitMine chair Tom Lee says Bitcoin’s “best days” are still ahead, but has seemingly eased off his bullish prediction of $250,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025.

BitMine chair Tom Lee has seemingly eased off his widely promoted $250,000 year-end Bitcoin forecast, now only giving it a “maybe” that Bitcoin can reclaim its October all-time high of $125,100 before the end of the year.

“I think it’s still very likely that Bitcoin is going to be above $100,000 before year-end, and maybe even to a new high,” Lee said during an interview with CNBC on Wednesday.

This appears to be the first time Lee has publicly softened his $250,000 year-end Bitcoin (BTC) price target, which he initially floated earlier in 2024 and continued to reiterate through early October.
