Bernstein Bank Predicts Bitcoin Will Exceed $125,000 by the End of 2026
Investment firm Bernstein expects the price of Bitcoin to return above $125,000 by the end of 2026. By mid-2027, it is projected to reach $150,000, and in an optimistic scenario, up to $200,000. The bank bases its forecast on the history of four-year cycles associated with halving, which it divides into four phases: breakthrough, enthusiasm, decline, and position accumulation. According to Bernstein, the market is currently in the final phase. Bitcoin has dropped 50 percent from its October 2025 peak, but has gained 28 percent in the last ten days. Smaller declines are attributed to institutional investors and corporate buyers, while in the past, the market has fallen by as much as 75 to 90 percent. Bernstein states that the price-to-marginal-cost ratio will behave similarly to previous four-year cycles.

Today’s market narrative was shaped by a recovery in crypto risk appetite and a deeper extension of the AI investment theme. Bitcoin moved back above $81,000 as macro pressure eased at the margin, while NVIDIA’s acquisition of Hugging Face underscored the strategic shift from compute dominance toward control of model ecosystems and developer access points. At the same time, results from Snowflake and Ciena reinforced that AI spending is spreading from semiconductors into software and network infrastructure. Near term, the August U.S. payrolls release is likely to be the key catalyst for rates expectations and valuation direction across growth assets.
