- Bitcoin is still in its early adoption at 3% in 2025.
- Bitcoin adoption witnessed a dramatic shift in 2024, driven by BTC ETF approvals.
Bitcoin is one of its kind global assets that gained traction steadily over the years. When it was first introduced in 2009 by an anonymous person named “Satoshi Nakamoto,” only tech geeks knew about it. What started as an experiment years back has now become a powerful force that could change the fate of the global economy.
The political environment of the US had a significant impact on Bitcoin market price by the end of 2024. When Donald Trump won US elections in Nov 2024 and promised to make the US the crypto capital of the world, the crypto market witnessed a significant bull run. Bitcoin even reached an all-time high of over $108K in December 2024.
However, Bitcoin is trading at $88,383 at press time much below its ATH value. Uncertain macroeconomic conditions combined with multiple US states rejecting the Bitcoin reserve bill are driving BTC price downward. Despite the market price movements, BTC adoption has gradually increased over the years.
Bitcoin Adoption is Just Started, as per River Intelligence
The recent report by River Intelligence found out that Bitcoin adoption is at 3% in 2025. This indicates how early BTC adoption is despite being around since 2009. Some of the key metrics that indicate this adoption are Total Addressable Market (TAM), institutional underallocation, and global ownership.
The report further emphasised that Bitcoin adoption resembles the growth and adoption of the internet despite being an asset. Bitcoin is at a stage in 2025, where the internet is in 1990, social media is in 2005, and online banking is in 1996. As per the extrapolated graph, Bitcoin is set to witness a humongous growth in adoption in the upcoming years.
