*Key takeaways:*

· Bitcoin’s price increased by sixfold each time its age increased by 40%.

· If the pattern holds, Bitcoin could rally to $351,046 in 2025.

New data highlights a historical pattern that results in Bitcoin (BTC) price increasing by sixfold. Using a logarithmic chart to illustrate the trend from 2011, the model projects BTC price to hit $351,046 in 2025.

According to 21st Capital co-founder Sina, the study plots Bitcoin’s price on a log-log graph, showing a linear relationship that reflects predictable long-term growth driven by network dynamics, a behavior characteristic associated with BTC’s limited supply.

The math behind the price target relies on Bitcoin’s age in years and a 6x price multiplier per 40% age increase. For instance, from age 8.83 years in 2017 ($19,666 peak) to age 12.83 years in 2021 ($68,000 peak), the age grew by 45%, but the price increased by about 3.4x, showing deviations from the model.

Adjusting for the chart’s trendline, the projected price at age 16.33 years is $351,046 in 2025, a 5.2x increase from $68,000 in 2021. This power law suggests Bitcoin’s growth scales with its network maturity, not calendar cycles.

Most of the time, the 6x peak in value came before a 40% increase in BTC’s age. The table below reflects actual Bitcoin prices and the model’s projections, highlighting inconsistencies.

The irregularities are evident. It underestimated early growth until 2017 and overestimated recent years (In 2023, $42,258 versus $139,968). External factors possibly disrupted BTC’s rise, such as the 2021 crash (BTC price fell 30% to $31,000 amid a crypto sell-off), China’s 2021 crypto ban, and rising interest rates in 2022, which aligned Bitcoin with risk-on assets.

However, the model demonstrates resilience despite regulatory uncertainty, market volatility, and macroeconomic pressures over the past decade, capturing Bitcoin’s long-term uptrend via a non-linear graph.

Anonymous Bitcoin analyst blackwidow noted a fractal pattern comparing the 2024 support at $58,000 to the current 2025 setup, pinpointing $84,000 as a pivotal support level, mirroring last year's structure.

In an X post, the analyst revealed that the $84,000 level, identified as the point of control (POC) where the heaviest trading volume occurred, is a key re-entry point for traders eager to capitalize on the anticipated breakout. If the support holds, the analyst predicted an accelerated move into the summer, potentially marking a significant long-term opportunity.

Likewise, crypto trader Titan of Crypto mentioned that the new highs for Bitcoin are loading in the charts. The analyst said, 

“Bitcoin $125,000 target loading. BTC bounced off the orange line of the Golden Ratio Multiplier and is now aiming for the blue line, currently at $125,000.”
