    Bitcoin Price Prediction for the Next 3 Years: Experts Weigh In

    Story Highlights
    • Bitcoin has seen significant growth recently, reaching a new all-time high. Experts predict future growth.

    • Bitcoin ETFs and institutional adoption are also likely to drive growth.

    • A potential bear market in 2026 could cause a significant price drop.

    Bitcoin has experienced a significant 36.2% growth in the past 30 days. Just yesterday, it hit a new all-time high of $92,342, and today, itโ€™s broken the crucial $93,000 mark. The market continues to rise steadily, and as everyone in crypto talks about Bitcoin’s future, experts are making bold predictions about how the crypto market will perform in the next three years.

    These insights are shaping Bitcoin price forecasts, and thereโ€™s much more to explore.

    Bitcoinโ€™s Commitment Towards Power Law Pattern 

    Bitcoin’s four-year moving average has followed a predictable pattern for years. Crypto analysts like Fred Krueger and PlanC believe this trend will likely continue. PlanC suggests that this pattern is a useful tool for predicting Bitcoinโ€™s future price movements.

    Bitcoin ETFs: Key to Crypto Adoption

    The role of Bitcoin ETFs is another important factor in Bitcoinโ€™s growth. Fred Krueger predicts that ETFs like BlackRockโ€™s IBIT and Fidelityโ€™s FBTC will play a major role in driving crypto adoption. While Fred is doubtful about the impact of corporations and governments, PlanC believes that both will significantly increase their Bitcoin holdings in the coming years.

    Bitcoin Holdings Around the World: Who Holds the Most?

    The United States currently holds 207,189 BTC, while China holds over 194,000 BTC. Other countries, like the UK, Ukraine, and Bhutan, hold 61,000, 46,351, and 13,029 BTC, respectively. Among public companies, MicroStrategy is the largest holder, with at least 331,200 BTC.

    MicroStrategyโ€™s Strategy: Will They Reach 500,000 BTC?

    Although MicroStrategy holds a large amount of Bitcoin, Fred doesnโ€™t think the company will ever reach 500,000 BTC. He points out rising acquisition costs and declining returns as major reasons why further accumulation is unlikely. Recently, MicroStrategy made its largest-ever Bitcoin purchaseโ€”51,780 BTC at an average price of $88,627 each.

    The company has increased its holdings significantly after the US election results. PlanC notes that MicroStrategyโ€™s Net Asset Value (NAV) premium could fluctuate between 1.5x and 5x.

    Could a Bear Market Happen in 2026?

    PlanC doesnโ€™t rule out the possibility of a bear market in 2026, but he thinks it would be a minor drop of about 30%. He also suggests there could be a consolidation phase. On the other hand, Fred is almost certain that a major price drop will happen within the next three years, although he isnโ€™t convinced it will happen in 2026. If it does occur, Fred predicts the decline could be as severe as 50%.

    Fred and PlanC agree that Bitcoin will follow the Power Law, but they have different views on some key issues.

    As Bitcoin’s price evolves, so too will the strategies of those invested in its future, keeping us all on the edge of our seats.
