Could Bitcoin Actually Hit $200,000 Before 2026?
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) trades for about $105,000 (as of June 19), yet credible analysts are mapping a route to its price surpassing $200,000 by the end of 2025. For reference, a 90% price gain to $200,000 would raise Bitcoin's market cap to about $3.9 trillion. That target looks unduly aggressive only if you ignore two simple forces: a sharply lower trickle of new coins, and a sharply higher amount of institutional demand. Both are already affecting the coin's price right now. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Let's see what the numbers actually say and take a moment to understand why the forecast for $200,000 isn't unreasonable at all. The supply squeeze is real, and intensifying As always, understanding the supply and demand dynamics of Bitcoin is the first step to appreciating how responsive its price is likely to be relative to what buyers are bidding for it. Every four years, the Bitcoin network halves the block reward, cutting the flow of fresh coins. The most recent halving on April 20, 2024, reduced the reward such that the total annual new issuance declined from roughly 328,500 coins to about 164,000. With 19.9 million coins already mined out of a maximum of 21 million possible, new supply now grows less than 0.8% per year. In April 2028, the next halving will constrain supply even further, and that fact is something that most market participants are aware of already, implying that potential buyers have a significant incentive to procure their allocation sooner rather than later. The tiny drip of new supply today is already meeting a hungry horde of demand. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have hauled in more than $46 billion cumulatively, including a six-day streak of $1.8 billion in mid-June. Those funds, institutional investors, and publicly traded companies together now command about 6% of the coin's total circulating supply. At today's price, that capital removes roughly 360,000 coins from the public float, which is equivalent to more than two years of issuance at the current block reward. If the inflows simply persist at half their recent pace, the available supply could tighten by another 2% to 3% before 2026. And a shrinking float usually forces prices significantly higher because the number of willing sellers dries up faster than the number of willing buyers. In other words, crypto market euphoria is not a precondition to Bitcoin soaring. The only needed ingredient is buyers who are willing to convert fiat currencies into ETF shares just a bit faster than miners are capable of creating fresh coins. And right now, that speed differential is widening, so the conditions are ripe for the price to squeeze upward. Understanding the path forward While supply dynamics explain why the crypto's price can rise, macro tailwinds explain why demand might keep accelerating. On that front, U.S. core inflation cooled in May to its lowest reading since 2023. The Federal Reserve has held its benchmark interest rate steady since March; many investors are expecting that the Fed will cut rates a bit before next year. It's possible that lower real yields will make a scarce, non-yielding asset like Bitcoin more attractive. Separately, regulatory clarity is also improving abroad, which will create more institutional buyers. The European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework began licensing major exchanges in mid-June, opening a harmonized 27-nation market. Clear guidelines for competition reduce regulatory risk and invite European pension funds and other institutional investors to buy in, many of which had waited on the sidelines. Nonetheless, the path to $200,000 is not necessarily a straight shot, given the current geopolitical and economic instability, as well as major uncertainties in U.S. trade policy. A surprise liquidity crunch, perhaps sparked by a geopolitical shock or a renewed tariff-driven inflation spike, could dull risk appetite and force some selling, which could temporarily damage sentiment about the coin. Political risk matters, too. U.S. lawmakers still debate crypto taxation and custody rules. A hostile bill could freeze ETF creation or raise costs, muting demand. Assuming no severe shock, however, the chances of Bitcoin surpassing $200,000 in 2026 look realistic, if perhaps a bit ambitious. If ETFs absorb another $50 billion of the supply by late 2025, they would remove roughly 475,000 additional coins from circulation at an average cost basis of $105,000. The good news for investors here is that it doesn't really matter if Bitcoin passes an arbitrary price target before an arbitrary point in time. Since the biggest upside for holders is over the long term, not the near term, the smartest move here is simply to buy the coin and commit to holding it.

Carney heads to Europe with military spending on the agenda
Social Sharing Prime Minister Mark Carney departs Sunday to meet with European and NATO allies amid heightened tension in the Middle East and mere hours after the United States joined Israel's war with Iran. The first stop will be in Brussels on Monday, where the prime minister is expected to sign a comprehensive security and defence partnership with the European Union. U.S. President Donald Trump bailed early on last week's G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta., saying he was needed at the White House to deal with the evolving war where Israel is attempting to not only destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, but to instigate regime change. Early Sunday, the U.S. military bombed three sites in Iran. Addressing the nation from the White House, Trump claimed Iran's key nuclear sites were "completely and fully obliterated." He also warned Tehran against carrying out retaliatory attacks against the United States, saying Iran has a choice between "peace or tragedy." Following his meeting with EU leaders, Carney heads to The Hague, in the Netherlands, for a slimmed-down NATO summit. Janice Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto, said Western allies are unlikely to formally discuss the war in the Middle East because it is outside of the Euro-Atlantic sphere. But, in an interview before the U.S. strikes occurred, she said the war is a "very dynamic situation that could easily escalate." It may not be on the agenda, but leaders "will spend a huge amount of time talking about it" informally, Stein said. WATCH | What does Europe have to gain from Canada?: Why Europe would consider inviting Canada into a defence pact 3 months ago Duration 5:07 With the Western Alliance eroding under U.S. President Donald Trump, could Canada's defence support shift to Europe? As CBC's Evan Dyer explains, the country's understrength military doesn't offer much in the way of troops presence, but it does have other things Europe needs. Most of the formal agenda at the NATO summit will focus on the U.S. demand that allies up defence spending to five per cent of their gross domestic product (3.5 per cent on direct military spending and 1.5 per cent on defence infrastructure). Recent data published by NATO shows the U.S. was projected to have spent 3.38 per cent of its GDP on defence in 2024. Interestingly, the Pentagon recently published a chart that projected U.S. defence spending in 2024 — as a share of its economy — at 2.7 per cent. While those calculations were released prior to the Trump administration's recent budget proposals to Congress, defence experts suggest the proposals won't make much of a difference. "I will highlight that U.S. defence spending itself is low," said Seth Jones, who heads up the defence and security wing of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. He says the next U.S. budget's defence spending will likely be lower, as a share of the country's economy, than the Carter administration in the 1970s.
