Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi published another great crypto article this morning that outlines how bitcoin's August "price gusher" might only be the start of some long-term gains in the years ahead: "In our base case, we expect bitcoin to reach new all-time high of $150K by mid-2027 and $300K by 2029 end.
However, given the macro regime shift, if institutional capital actively chases bitcoin, we could see an accelerated timeline, with bitcoin potentially peaking at $500K in 2029 and rapid recovery to new all-time highs of ~$200K by mid-2027.
