Bitcoin Could Reach $150,000 in 2026 With Strategic Reserve Boost

Bitcoin is trading between $86,000 and $90,000 after a 30% correction from its all-time high in October. Market analyst Dominic Basulto predicts that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by 2026, driven by the new US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Key Points

Basulto's prediction is based on historical performance, where Bitcoin has shown significant recovery potential.
Increased institutional interest and economic uncertainty are driving factors for Bitcoin's recent upward trends.
For Bitcoin to reach $150,000, it must be viewed as a long-term store of value, competing with physical gold.
The US government's potential substantial purchases of Bitcoin could trigger a global race among nations to create strategic BTC reserves.
Other predictions for Bitcoin's price in 2026 include JPMorgan Chase forecasting $170,000 and Tom Lee from Fundstrat suggesting $250,000.

Current price: $87,330, down from a recent high of over $90,500.
