AI Models Predict Bitcoin Price to Surge to $105K by Year-End

Bitcoin's price has been trading between $76,200 to $82,100 in recent weeks, and market sentiment is becoming increasingly bullish. As a result, we revisited 11 artificial intelligence (AI) models to predict the year-end price of BTC. All 11 models see BTC ending 2026 higher, with predictions ranging from $84,500 to $105,480.

Deepseek's prediction stands out at $105,480, while Claude Opus 5 is more conservative with a target of $84,500. The median forecast among the group is $96,500, which represents a 21% increase from current prices. This is significantly lower than the models' predictions in May, when the average was $102,305 per coin.

Several experts are sharing bullish views on BTC's future price. Wall Street research firm Bernstein thinks six-digit bitcoin prices could become a reality this year. Brian Vieten, senior portfolio manager at Siebert Financial, believes BTC could reach $175,000 next year, driven by the implementation of the GENIUS Act.

However, it's essential to note that predicting Bitcoin's price is challenging, and even the sharpest forecasts can look foolish in hindsight. As Hal Finney once said, 'bitcoin has a long record of making even the sharpest forecasts look foolish,' so every prediction should be taken with caution.
