Some of the world\u2019s biggest banks are now attaching six-figure targets to the leading cryptocurrency, and this is a major <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/jpmorgan-bitcoin-beating-gold-silver-iran-war\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">change in how Wall Street<\/a> is looking at Bitcoin\u2019s next cycle. Major banks including Citi, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Standard Chartered, and TD Cowen are all pointing to a future where the BTC price trades well above current levels, with several projections clustered between $140,000 and $200,000.<\/p>\n<h2>Banks And Their 6-Figure Predictions For Bitcoin<\/h2>\n<p>Not long ago, the words \u201cfraud\u201d and \u201cponzi scheme\u201d were the most popular way Wall Street described Bitcoin. The very institutions now projecting six-figure price targets spent years trying to talk investors out of the asset entirely.\u00a0The most interesting BTC price projection is from Citi. Citi <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/bitcoin\/citi-projects-143000-base-case-for-bitcoin-in-12-month-outlook\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">projected a base case<\/a> of $143,000 for BTC, with its bull case reaching as high as $189,000. The forecast is tied to stronger institutional demand and the idea that Bitcoin can continue absorbing capital through ETFs.<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan\u2019s outlook is similarly bullish, with analysts at the bank pointing to a $170,000 scenario based on Bitcoin\u2019s valuation relative to gold. The bank\u2019s model suggests BTC still has room to close the gap with gold as a store-of-value asset, especially if there\u2019s continued ETF demand.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs has highlighted its view as a scenario, and the number is also worth noting. Goldman\u2019s digital assets team sees potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/bitcoin-news\/bitcoin-going-to-200000\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for Bitcoin to approach<\/a> $200,000 in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Standard Chartered has taken the longest view of the group. The bank revised its 2026 year-end target to approximately $100,000, citing reduced buying from digital asset treasury companies and slowing ETF inflows. However, Standard Chartered still maintains a long-term projection of $500,000 by 2030. TD Cowen rounds out the group with a target of $140,000, which is the lowest prediction from the bunch.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-677914 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Bitcoin-bullish.png?w=512&amp;resize=512%2C281\" alt=\"Bitcoin bullish\" width=\"512\" height=\"281\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2048319133545283719?s=20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bitcoin Price Predictions From Banks.
