Bill Miller IV, the son of renowned investor Bill Miller, is among analysts predicting that Bitcoin could achieve a new all-time high in 2026, driven by the backing of U.S. regulations and increasing acceptance on Wall Street.
“Technicals are really starting to line up and it looks like it’s ready to go again. I personally expect it to break out to a higher high than its all-time high from the fall,” Bill Miller IV stated during an interview with CNBC.
He emphasized the optimistic outlook as capital markets transition to on-chain systems, referencing the ongoing blockchain projects by major financial institutions like JPMorgan. He noted:
“It’s a whole new ballgame.”
Miller remarked that Bitcoin has established a stronger foundation compared to last year. Despite a recent decrease of 6% in Bitcoin’s value, he dismissed it as a minor fluctuation in light of the cryptocurrency’s volatility, advising investors to take a broader perspective when analyzing trends.
As of now, Bitcoin trades at $93,750, significantly down from its peak of $126,080 last October but showing a gain of 7.1% this year according to CoinGecko data.
In another CNBC segment, Tom Lee from Fundstrat noted that Bitcoin commenced 2026 on a positive note with various factors favoring its recovery.
“So I think these are tailwinds that help Bitcoin recover this year.”
While Lee hasn’t provided specific targets for Bitcoin’s price in 2026, Haseeb Qureshi from Dragonfly recently predicted it could rise above $150,000 by year-end. Meanwhile, Galaxy Digital has refrained from making firm predictions due to expected market unpredictability, mentioning that Bitcoin’s year-end value could range from $50,000 to $250,000.
