Bitcoin Price Prediction: We Asked 5 AI Models if Bitcoin Will Hit $100K Again in 2026-Only One Said No

"ChatGPT puts Bitcoin in the $110,000 to $150,000 range by late 2026, with $180,000 as its most optimistic forecast. The model's view comes down to whether institutional money keeps flowing into spot Bitcoin ETFs. So far, the answer has been mixed. Bitcoin ETFs bled $3.6 billion in the first two months of 2026, which looked like the start of a sustained exit. But BlackRock's IBIT has pulled in $1.47 billion over the past two weeks alone."

"Bitcoin started 2026 above $93,000, but briefly crashed to $60,000 in February after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran, hammering risk assets across the board. It's since bounced back to around $70,000, which is still 25% below where it started the year and well short of the $100,000 many hoped would mark the beginning of its recovery back to the $126,000 all-time high."

"ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, and Gemini all project Bitcoin above $100,000 by year-end, with Grok and Gemini seeing $200,000 or higher as realistic if the right conditions line up. Claude disapproves of any $100K BTC move in 2026."

Bitcoin started 2026 above $93,000 but crashed to $60,000 in February following U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran, subsequently recovering to around $70,000. Five AI models were asked whether Bitcoin would reach $100,000 before year-end. ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, and Gemini all predicted yes, with targets ranging from $100,000 to $250,000. Claude disagreed, forecasting Bitcoin would not reach $100,000 in 2026. ChatGPT's projection of $110,000-$150,000 depends on sustained institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, noting that despite early-2026 outflows of $3.6 billion, recent weeks showed strong inflows including $1.47 billion into BlackRock's IBIT. Gemini's forecast of $100,000-$220,000 hinges on global liquidity expansion.
