August 27 Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin May Reach New Highs Next Year, Potentially Hitting $1 Million by 2033

On the 26th, U.S. investment bank Bernstein released a new research report regarding Bitcoin (BTC) and strategy stocks.

Updated Long-Term Price Forecast for Bitcoin

In the report, the firm presented two scenarios for Bitcoin's future price movements.

In the base scenario, it is expected to trade around $125,000 by the end of 2026. Subsequently, it is anticipated to reach approximately $150,000, a new all-time high, by mid-2027.

Furthermore, it analyzed that Bitcoin could peak at around $300,000 in 2029.

On the other hand, a bullish scenario was also indicated, where institutional investor inflows accelerate. In this case, Bitcoin could reach about $200,000 by mid-2027 and $500,000 by 2029.

Additionally, the long-term forecast of reaching approximately $1 million per BTC by the end of 2033 remains unchanged. The firm pointed out that concerns over the depreciation of fiat currency and U.S. debt issues are increasing.

It is expected that the demand for cryptocurrencies will further expand as investors seek to avoid inflation risks.

The report emphasized that not only internal factors like the halving but also macroeconomic trends will be crucial in driving future prices.

Downgrade of Target Stock Price for Strategy

In addition to the cryptocurrency price forecast, the firm also updated the stock evaluations of related companies.

They have revised the 12-month target stock price for Strategy, which holds a significant amount of Bitcoin.

The target price was lowered from $450 to $350. The main reason for this downgrade is the expectation that the timing of Bitcoin's price increase cycle will be delayed compared to previous forecasts.

Moreover, the firm noted that repeated stock issuances to acquire more Bitcoin have diluted the value per share.

While the total asset value held has increased, the analysis suggests that the increase in the number of shares has led to a decrease in the value per share.

On the other hand, the firm maintains an "outperform (buy)" rating on its stock.

They continue to view Strategy's stock as an effective means to benefit from Bitcoin's price fluctuations. It is expected that as market liquidity increases and regulatory environments improve, institutional investor participation will further advance.

Expansion of the Bitcoin Ecosystem

As long-term growth for Bitcoin is anticipated, new projects aimed at further expanding its ecosystem are attracting significant attention.

Among them, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Layer 2 network for Bitcoin, is currently generating considerable buzz.

Bitcoin Hyper is a groundbreaking project that utilizes the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and zero-knowledge proofs to enable fast and low-cost transactions on the Bitcoin network.

It aims not only to serve as a payment method but also to bring staking, DeFi, and on-chain applications directly into the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Particularly noteworthy is its successful fusion of user-friendly features akin to meme coins with advanced infrastructure-focused technology.

This unique appeal has attracted many investors, and the presale has already raised over $33 million.

The current price of HYPER is approximately $0.0136853, generating high interest as an early-stage participation opportunity.

The total supply is set at 1 billion HYPER, which will be used for transaction fees, staking, and governance.

Looking ahead, the mainnet proof of concept and token generation event (TGE) are on the horizon, making it essential to keep an eye on Bitcoin Hyper's developments to maximize Bitcoin's potential.
