AI Models Predict Median Price of $96,500 for Bitcoin by End of 2026
Bitcoin's price surge to $82,000 has sparked a wave of bullish predictions from influencers and analysts. Some have even suggested that six-digit prices could become a reality this year. However, experts are not uniform in their opinions, with some cautioning against over-optimism.
A recent experiment saw 11 AI models queried for their predictions on Bitcoin's price at the end of 2026. The results were surprisingly close, with $96,500 being the median forecast. This represents a 21% increase from current values.
The most conservative model was Claude Opus 5, which predicted a price of $84,500, while Deepseek's prediction was significantly more bullish at $105,000. In contrast to their May predictions, this batch of models was much more cautious, with the average forecast being $96,500 compared to $102,305.
