About these forecasts

Bitcoin's record high was about $126,000 on 6 October 2025. It fell to roughly $57,000–59,000 in June 2026 before recovering part of the loss (Fortune, October 2026). Long-range targets from asset managers — such as ARK Invest's 2030 scenarios — depend on assumptions about adoption that are far less certain than near-term bank forecasts.

We list numeric targets published by banks, asset managers and research firms, as reported by the firm itself or by established financial media. Each row links to the page we checked. Targets refer to different things — a price on a date, a quarterly average or a yearly average — so compare the "For" column before comparing numbers. We do not include social-media personalities or price-prediction websites.

Forecasts are opinions, made with information available at the time, and they are revised often. They are not a recommendation to buy or sell, and Corgano does not make price predictions of its own.
