Bitcoin Bulls Stick by Price Predictions Amid 50% Decline

Despite a 50% decline in price from its 2026 peak, Wall Street's biggest crypto bulls remain optimistic about Bitcoin's future. Standard Chartered and Bernstein have retained their year-end price forecasts of $100,000 and $150,000 respectively.

However, other prominent investors have made even more ambitious predictions. Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, believes Bitcoin could reach $1.25 million by 2030 in a bull-case scenario. Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat, thinks it could trade as high as $2 million if its market valuation is comparable to gold.

But Michael Saylor, Strategy Executive Chairman, has made the most bullish prediction yet, stating that Bitcoin could eventually reach $21 million per coin over several decades. He believes this would require structural changes across the global financial system, including government recognition of Bitcoin as a long-term reserve asset and increased participation from traditional banks.
