Bernstein is forecasting Bitcoin at $125K by year end 2026, implying roughly a 58% upside from the ~$79K area. The analysts base the outlook on Bitcoin’s historical four year cycle, its valuation relative to mining costs, and structural demand from ETFs and corporate $BTC reserves. They also point to growing demand for scarce assets as governments continue carrying heavy debt burdens.

The forecast becomes even more interesting beyond 2026. Bernstein sees Bitcoin reaching around $150K by mid 2027 and potentially $300K at the peak of the next cycle in 2029. A move to $125K would require strong momentum and sustained demand, so the key question is whether Bitcoin can turn the current $80K recovery into a broader trend rather than another temporary rally.
