Arthur Hayes Sticks to $250,000 BTC By Year’s End
It has been an interesting year for the pioneer crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), and at the peak of its run, many industry leaders and financial experts predicted the price of BTC to hit extravagant ATH targets that lay between $200,000 to $700,000. Some of these predictions include ATH targets from experts like Tom Lee, Robert Kiyosaki, Arthur Hayes, and many other industry leaders.
To highlight, financial institutions like BlackRock, FIdelity, VanEck, and many more had been buying BTC at unprecedented rates since the successful launch of BTC ETFs. Some entities like Bitmine Immersion, led by Tom Lee, even went on to accumulate ETH over BTC, expecting both assets to hit much higher ATH prices. While ETH was expected to hit $10,000 – $12,000, BTC was looking at much higher targets.
Despite the bullish expectations from these leaders, the price of BTC seems to have topped at the $126,000 price range, while ETH failed to hit $5,000. Now with some analysts expecting the bear market to have begun, these leaders continue to hold strong to their bullish outlook for 2026, although some of these bull targets have reduced to smaller numbers.

Whether BTC hits these targets within the next year or not, it is clear that these leaders and financial figures believe in the long-term strength of BTC and crypto and will continue to remain bullish for the foreseeable future. To highlight one of the most recent talks, Arthur Hayes, the Founder of BitMEX, had said that BTC will hit much higher ATH prices in the coming months, and even by the end of the year.
As we can see from the post above, Arthur Hayes sticks to his prediction of Bitcoin (BTC) hitting the $250,000 price target by the end of this year. The responses to the video mostly shows skepticism at his prediction as he does not seem to take this seriously based on the laughter that followed. However, upon asking of his prediction for the next year, Hayes takes on a more serious tone and declares a bull target of $575,000 by the end of 2026.
