Resolution criteria

This market resolves YES if Bitcoin's price reaches or exceeds $100,000 USD at any point before January 1, 2027. Resolution will be determined by checking the highest price recorded on major cryptocurrency exchanges (CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or major spot exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance). The market resolves NO if Bitcoin never reaches $100,000 before the deadline.

Background

Bitcoin is currently trading at approximately $70,722 USD, requiring a ~41% gain to reach $100,000. Bitcoin reached its highest price ever on October 6, 2025, at $126,198.07, demonstrating the asset has surpassed $100,000 in the recent past. The cryptocurrency hit $126,000 in October 2025 and started 2026 above $90,000, then lost a third of its value in roughly three months after geopolitical tensions.

Considerations

Reaching $100,000 would require the second half of 2026 to look very different from the first, with oil, inflation, and Fed policy all needing to move in Bitcoin's favor. Analyst predictions for 2026 range from $58,000 to $178,200, with some forecasts suggesting Bitcoin could trade between $58,000 to $125,000. Bitcoin is extremely volatile, with frequent and sometimes dramatic price changes, making near-term price movements difficult to predict with certainty.
