Some major forecasts expect Bitcoin to rise above its current record ~$126K and even hit $150,000 or more in 2026 as institutional adoption continues strengthening.
• Bitwise suggests that Bitcoin may break from its traditional post-halving cycle and climb beyond previous historical patterns, driven by deeper integration into financial markets and weaker leverage-fed cycles.
• A range of models sees potential upside — even into the $150K–$230K or higher bracket if demand, ETF inflows, and broader adoption continue.
