TD Cowen is reiterating a bullish medium-term path for Bitcoin, projecting roughly $225,000 per coin by the end of fiscal 2027, while sketching an upside scenario that would take the asset to around $450,000. The call leans on tokenization as a structural demand driver, but the firm flags that the relationship it\u2019s modeling may not hold if market dynamics evolve differently than expected.<\/p>\n

TD Cowen\u2019s Bitcoin Outlook<\/h2>\n

In a research note<\/a> dated Feb. 24, 2026, TD Cowen framed its more aggressive scenario around two interacting assumptions: \u201cthe number of tokenized assets increases 100-fold (over time)\u201d and transaction velocity tied to those assets falls by 90%. Under those conditions, the firm said its analysis \u201csuggests a potential five-fold increase in the price of bitcoin, to roughly $450k per coin.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $450,000 figure is positioned as a \u201cbull case\u201d illustration rather than a point forecast. TD Cowen<\/a> emphasizes that its current base expectation is lower, writing: \u201cour current forecast calls for Bitcoin to reach a price of ~$225k per coin by the end of FY27.\u201d<\/p>\n

The firm adds a key caveat about methodology and uncertainty: \u201cWhile not a bottom-up forecast, our current Bitcoin price estimate reflects a variety of assumptions, one of which is increased tokenization of real-world assets, potentially including equity securities. Though we believe our assumptions are well-supported by trends observed to date, there can be no assurance that these relationships hold going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

The logic is straightforward: if tokenized real-world assets proliferate and the on-chain \u201cvelocity\u201d associated with those assets slows sharply, the implied value captured by the underlying settlement asset in TD Cowen\u2019s framework rises. The note doesn\u2019t present this as a mechanical law, but as a sensitivity to how tokenization adoption and transactional behavior could reshape demand conditions around crypto rails.<\/p>\n

Policy remains the other major moving part in TD Cowen\u2019s broader crypto framework. In early January, the firm pointed to market-structure legislation,specifically the CLARITY Act<\/a>, as a potential catalyst that could formalize jurisdictional lines across the SEC and CFTC and bring clearer rules for staking, custody, and trading platforms.<\/p>\n

TD Cowen wrote at the time: \u201cWe believe there is room for compromise on all the issues in ways that the crypto sector can accept.\u201d But it warned the harder constraint may be political rather than technical: \u201cThe problem will be the White House as Senate Democrats will likely insist on ethics rules for elected officials<\/a> including the President and his family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bank\u2019s timeline expectation is that Congress acts this year, but not without slippage risk. \u201cWe expect Congress will enact legislation in 2026,\u201d TD Cowen wrote, \u201cthough there is a risk it could spill into 1H 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the firm\u2019s Bitcoin targets arrive with fresh scrutiny after a recent miss. In mid-October last year, with Bitcoin around $111,000, TD Cowen projected $141,000 by December; instead, Bitcoin closed the year near $88,000.<\/p>\n

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $65,422.<\/p>\n
