Tue, 20 Oct 2026 05:56:22 -0400

Investing.com-- Bitcoin slipped below $82,000 on Tuesday as elevated oil prices and persistent geopolitical tensions weighed on risk sentiment, while investors assessed the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate outlook ahead of its policy meeting next week.

The world’s largest cryptocurrency was trading at around $81,511.2 by 05:19 ET (09:19 GMT), down about 1.5% on the day.

Bitcoin had risen above $83,000 in the previous session but failed to hold gains. It has struggled to sustain recovery after retreating from levels above $85,000 earlier this month.

Bitcoin’s next adoption wave could come from retirement accounts

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 13:46:56 -0400

Investing.com -- Institutional investors are no longer merely considering cryptocurrencies, but are increasingly focused on how to integrate digital assets into established investment structures, particularly retirement accounts, according to an executive at crypto infrastructure firm SFOX.

The more than $12 trillion U.S. individual retirement account market is beginning to pull crypto deeper into retirement portfolios, creating a new challenge for the industry: how to give investors access to Bitcoin without exposing retirement savings to the extreme volatility that has long defined the asset.

US Tiger Securities: 'A brief hiking cycle would create near-term headwinds for Bitcoin without overturning our long-term BUY thesis'

Wed, 09 Sep 2026 11:47:23 -0400

US Tiger Securities: 'A brief hiking cycle would create near-term headwinds for Bitcoin without overturning our long-term BUY thesis'.

The analyst comments "A brief hiking cycle would create near-term headwinds for Bitcoin without overturning our long-term BUY thesis. Two or three 25bp hikes could weigh on BTC if they lift real yields and tighten liquidity. The impact should be more manageable if stronger productivity supports risk appetite and tightening ends without a recession. What matters is how far rates rise, how long they remain elevated, and how that path compares with market expectations. The fiscal incentive to lower financing costs remains

Strategy’s bitcoin trading policy creates risks for broader markets, says JPMorgan

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:04:48 -0400

Investing.com -- J.P. Morgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said Thursday that MicroStrategy's new Bitcoin trading strategy that allows the company to sell coins to avoid liquidity crunches introduces additional risks to broader cryptocurrency markets.

Panigirtzoglou said the new policy creates two-way flow risk for Bitcoin and increases uncertainty in cryptocurrency markets. The analyst stated that a higher coverage of 24 to 36 months would be necessary to reassure investors that MicroStrategy would not need to sell Bitcoin in the near future.

Earlier this week, MicroStrategy announced a Digital Credit Capital Framework and authorized a $1.25 billion Bitcoin monetization program, marking a shift from

Analyst sees Bitcoin hitting $227K-$378K amid monetary scarcity, gold flows

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 13:41:45 -0400

Investing.com - U.S. Tiger Research on Tuesday set a long-term valuation range for Bitcoin at $227,000 to $378,000 per coin, based on the digital asset capturing 15% to 25% of gold's total market value over time.

The firm's analyst Bo Pei said the thesis assumes Bitcoin becomes a meaningful minority allocation relative to gold across institutions, private wealth, and households. The valuation framework uses an illustrative gold market capitalization of $31.8 trillion and Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins.

U.S. Tiger Research's report said the macro backdrop supports Bitcoin's monetary premium, citing global M2 expansion from roughly $23 trillion at Bitcoin's

Bitcoin bottom likely in, upside ahead: Bernstein

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:11:33 -0400

Investing.com -- Bernstein analysts believe the worst of Bitcoin’s correction is likely over, with fresh upside ahead as the largest corporate holder of the token, Strategy, continues to expand its treasury.

In a note on Tuesday, analyst Gautam Chhugani stated, “We believe Bitcoin has found its trough and is now heading higher,” adding that the firm retains its $150,000 year-end 2026 price target.

Bernstein highlights the resilience of Strategy during Bitcoin’s drawdown from its $125,000 peak in late 2025.

The company now owns 3.6% of total Bitcoin supply, equivalent to $53.5 billion in NAV. According to
