AI Model Predicts Bitcoin to Reach $150K by End of 2026
An AI model called Claude Fable 5 has published a detailed forecast for Bitcoin's performance in the second half of 2026. According to the model, the price of Bitcoin could reach $150,000 by December 2026, up from its current price of around $64,600.
The model anchors its bullish thesis on two key factors: shrinking supply and accelerating institutional demand. The AI notes that there are only 1.32 million BTC left to be mined, while approximately 4 million coins are permanently lost, causing the effectively circulating float to shrink.
On the demand side, the model identifies several catalysts, including the potential passage of the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act in the United States, which would provide a clear regulatory framework for digital assets. Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs hold over 1.5 million BTC, creating persistent structural demand.
However, the model also identifies a bearish scenario targeting $45,000 if the FOMC meeting disappoints expectations and ETF outflows resume.
