Tuur Demeester, a Bitcoin OG and researcher for Adamant Research shared his bullish outlook for Bitcoin via X (formerly Twitter), anticipating its price could escalate to between $200,000 and $600,000 by 2026. Demeester’s prediction is predicated on the influx of trillions of dollars through global bailouts and stimulus measures, which he believes will significantly propel Bitcoin’s valuation.
He remarked via X (formerly Twitter), “In ’21 bitcoin topped at $69k. I’m targeting $200-$600k by 2026. Fueled by $ trillions in global bailouts/stimulus,” indicating a strong conviction in the cryptocurrency’s future amidst expansive monetary policies.

In response to the question of whether the Bitcoin price will peak in 2025 or 2026, Demeester added: “It’s hard to say. We might get a bull cycle in two parts, like in 2013 – that could draw it out longer.”
Demeester’s track record lends weight to his forecasts. Notably, in September 2019, he accurately anticipated the previous bull run’s momentum, suggesting Bitcoin could reach $50,000 to $100,000. The reality surpassed expectations as Bitcoin peaked above $69,000 in November 2021, validating his prediction range’s upper end.
Why The Bitcoin Rally Is Far From Over
Adding depth to his latest prediction, Demeester pointed to Google trends data, which often serves as a barometer for retail investor interest in Bitcoin. Despite Bitcoin hitting $50,000 yesterday, Yassine Elmandjra, a researcher at Ark Invest, highlighted that Google search volumes relative to Bitcoin’s price are at all-time lows, suggesting a lack of widespread retail frenzy at this stage.

Demeester also shared sage advice for investors, cautioning against the perils of debt and overexposure given Bitcoin’s notorious volatility. He emphasized the psychological…
