Bitwise Forecasts New Bitcoin Record High in 2026

Asset manager Bitwise expects Bitcoin to surpass its previous peak and reach a new all-time high in 2026, according to reports from Bitcoin Magazine and The Block. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan said the firm believes Bitcoin’s historical four-year halving cycle is becoming less influential, citing reduced impact from halvings, lower interest rates, increased institutional participation, and declining price volatility as factors behind the forecast.
