The largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has struggled to convincingly hold the $90k price level for most of the first half of December 2025. But, there is increasing anticipation among crypto holders that 2026 will fare much better.
Bitcoin Can Easily Reach $150k in 2026
Scaramucci is the CEO of Skybridge Capital, a successful investment firm specializing in private equity, hedge funds, and digital currencies. Under the current leadership, the company has had considerable success in pitching cryptocurrencies to wealthy investors.
“I think Bitcoin will have a very good next year. To me, I think it will get to the 150 number ($150k) over time. Remember, you have an embedded base of institutional investors and these (crypto) ETFs are constantly buying and net inflows are there. A lot of the Bitcoin supply from the original investors sort of circulated out that we didn’t anticipate for this year (2025). I think it will be easily 150”, he said.`
Scaramucci didn’t exude the charisma he always does in interviews, which shows just how challenging the year has been for Bitcoin proponents. He has been a staunch believer in the digital currency revolution since 2020, after initial skepticism.
“The Mooch” as he is widely known in the investor community, infamously had a stint as Communications Director during Trump’s tumultuous first term, much to the Americans’ bewilderment. He served for less than one month and managed to fire a couple of top White House staffers before he was unceremoniously shown the door by Trump himself. He has since become a vocal Trump opponent and regrets his role in the White House.
 
Apart from his time in Washington, Scaramucci has a credible position in the investment community, given his prior success in the stock market.
2026-The End of Bitcoin’s Woes?
Bitcoin’s current downturn has led to a pessimistic outlook for the premier digital currency for the remainder of 2025, but with the New Year comes the promise of a potential fresh start. Altcoin holders are also holding out for a possible reversal of their fortunes after a major disappointment in 2026.
However, the digital asset market is heading into 2026 on the back foot, and the start of the calendar year will tell us more about how it intends to perform over the next 365 days.
