According to BroadChain, at 07:16 on April 23, Bitcoinist reported that a summary of bullish predictions for Bitcoin from multiple institutions and seasoned investors on platform X shows a target price range spanning from over a hundred thousand dollars to $500,000. Bitcoin is currently priced around $78,000, and market bullish momentum is re-accumulating.
Citigroup provided the lower bound of the prediction range, with its base scenario expecting Bitcoin to reach approximately $126,000 by the end of 2026. This forecast is based on the expectation that the "Digital Asset Market Clarity Act" may be passed. Other relatively conservative predictions include: Pantera Capital sees $148,000, JPMorgan sees $150,000 to $170,000, VanEck sees $180,000, and Standard Chartered sees $150,000 to $200,000.
More optimistic predictions point to $200,000 or higher. Wall Street's well-known bull Tom Lee sees $189,000, Tim Draper sees $250,000, Ark Invest's Cathie Wood sees $275,000, Robert Kiyosaki sees $350,000, Anthony Scaramucci sees $400,000, and both Chamath Palihapitiya and Mike Novogratz see as high as $500,000. If this target is reached, the increase would exceed 550%.
The significant variation in the prediction range highlights that the market still has notable disagreements regarding Bitcoin's upside potential this year. It is worth noting that some institutions have already revised their predictions downward. For example, Citigroup lowered its 12-month target price from $143,000 to $112,000; Standard Chartered also lowered its end-of-2026 target price from $300,000 to $150,000 at the end of last year, but still maintains a long-term outlook of $500,000 by 2030.
