Standard Chartered Holds $100K Bitcoin Target for End of 2026 After Strategy Selloff
Standard Chartered kept its year-end 2026 Bitcoin price target at $100,000, even as Strategy's recent pivot in its Bitcoin treasury approach rattled some investors. The bank attributed the selloff to a communication misstep rather than any change in Bitcoin's underlying trajectory. Analysts there view the treasury-level selling as a short-term distraction from longer structural demand trends.
A major institutional bank holding a six-figure price target through near-term turbulence signals that sell-side conviction on Bitcoin has not broken. For investors already holding BTC or BTC-linked equities like Strategy, the thesis remains intact according to at least one influential institutional voice. The practical implication is that this type of price endorsement can anchor institutional buying behavior through dips.
Next FOMC rate decision: June 17-18. Next major Bitcoin on-chain data weekly report: rolling weekly. Strategy next earnings release: next quarterly earnings.
