The order also includes evaluating the creation of a national digital asset stockpile.

It's important to note that these developments don't specifically mention Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin is the world's largest digital asset, and the government is rapidly adopting a more friendly attitude toward digital assets. I don't think it's a stretch to make that connection. A national reserve would be tremendous and potentially drive Bitcoin demand higher. However, the regulatory easing might benefit Bitcoin's long-term price trajectory even more if it leads to more people and businesses using it across the economy.

The idea of a national stockpile is getting attention, but Bitcoin's potential maturation over the next four years could be a game-changer.

Will Bitcoin hit $150,000 in 2025?

It might sound like a cop-out answer, but nobody can predict Bitcoin's future price.

But as I said in the beginning, one can look at what's happening within the government and reasonably expect progress for Bitcoin and other digital assets over the coming years. Bitcoin's market cap is currently just over $2 trillion, which still pales compared to gold's ($18.3 trillion).

That's not to say Bitcoin will reach that level. Still, the asset has already made great strides and is about to enjoy the most pro-cryptocurrency regulatory body ever. If more pro-cryptocurrency developments occur, who's to say that Bitcoin's price can't advance another 40% to 50% over the next 12 months to hit that mark?

Ultimately, the only certainty with Bitcoin is that it's a highly volatile asset that investors should hold in a diversified portfolio. Manage your risk responsibly, and you'll enjoy the ride to $150,000 if it happens and be just fine if it doesn't.
