Gambar Bitcoin (BTC) Could Reach $150,000, as Long as These Two Whales Finish Selling

Jakarta, Pintu News –According to David Bailey, CEO of Nakamoto, the price of Bitcoin is predicted to soar to $150,000 (around Rp2.46 billion) if the two big whales that currently hold most of the Bitcoin supply complete their sales.

Bailey stated that one of the two large whales has begun to reduce its holdings, while the other is still in the middle of the process.

“The main reason why we haven’t hit $150,000 yet is because of these two big whales,” Bailey said in a post on X (Twitter). He is optimistic that once the two whales are done selling, the price of Bitcoin will jump sharply.

Bailey’s prediction adds to the positive sentiment towards Bitcoin, despite the crypto market experiencing some pressure lately. Check out the full story in this article!

Bitcoin headed for a 36% surge if it breaks $150,000

If Bitcoin manages to reach a price of $150,000, it would reflect a jump of about 36% from the current Bitcoin price which is around $110,240 (about Rp1.81 billion) according to CoinMarketCap data.

Although Bitcoin price has currently decreased by 2.92% in the last 30 days, the potential for a significant increase remains if these two big whales finish selling.

The only reason we’re not at $150k right now is two massive whales- once they’re slain (1 down, 1 halfway there)… up only.

Previously, on August 24, 2025, a large transaction from one of the Bitcoin whales who sold 24,000 BTC worth about $2.7 billion caused a flash crash in the Bitcoin market.

According to the QCP report, the sale led to the liquidation of around $500 million in leveraged positions in a short period of time. This large transaction shows how the movement of a single whale can greatly affect market prices.

A number of analysts and crypto experts have predicted that the price of Bitcoin could reach more than $150,000 before the end of 2025.

On the other hand, Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Digital, projects that the price of Bitcoin could reach between $150,000 and $180,000 by the end of 2025.

Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, and Tom Lee, founder of Fundstrat, are more optimistic with their prediction that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.
