ChatGPT Predicts Where Bitcoin Could Go in 2026 — Price Range Up to $228,000

At the start of 2025, several experts predicted Bitcoin could approach $200,000, but so far that hasn’t materialized. As of Nov. 7, Bitcoin trades around $103,500, up 14% year-to-date.

According to Matt Mena, Crypto Research Strategist at 21Shares, Bitcoin’s “resilience is supported by ETF inflows and a dovish policy outlook.”

ChatGPT didn’t make its own forecast but compiled various model projections for 2026, showing a range between $99,000 and $228,000:

• InvestingHaven: $99,910–$200,000

• BTCNews: Avg ~$165,000, peak $200,000

• Orange Standard: $194,151–$228,126

• BitScreener: $116,798–$158,931

• Coinbase internal model: ~$119,363

  To hit the upper targets, Bitcoin would need to more than double in value by late 2026. Motley Fool suggested a strong 2025 rally could push Bitcoin above $140,000 heading into the new year.

  ChatGPT also outlined possible tailwinds:

• Institutional/ETF inflows boosting liquidity

• Regulatory clarity reducing uncertainty

• Favorable macro trends like lower rates and growth

• Network improvements enhancing scalability

  However, tight monetary policy, regulatory risks, altcoin competition, and market volatility remain major headwinds that could pressure Bitcoin’s price trajectory in 2026.
