Analysts at Bernstein report a major shift in Bitcoin’s long-standing market rhythm, signaling the end of the traditional four-year cycle. Their latest client note highlights that Bitcoin’s price behavior now reflects a structural change, driven by stronger and steadier institutional demand.

Despite a sharp 30% pullback, analysts point out that ETF outflows have stayed unusually low—under 5%—suggesting continued conviction from large investors. This steady inflow, they argue, is helping absorb retail selling and setting the stage for an extended bull phase rather than the typical boom-and-bust pattern.

Bernstein raised its 2026 Bitcoin price target to $150,000 and now expects the cycle’s peak to arrive in 2027 near $200,000. Looking further ahead, the firm keeps its bold long-term projection of around $1 million per BTC by 2033, reinforcing its strong crypto-positive outlook.

Nunchuk Inc. is an open source, multi-signature mobile wallet for advanced bitcoin security, self-custody, and inheritance. Launched in 2020, the app offers users a feature-rich toolkit to set up high-security bitcoin wallets, with little competition on the mobile app market, as most other mobile wallets do not support multi-signature functionality at all.

Most wallets require a single private key to sign a valid Bitcoin transaction. Multi-signature Bitcoin wallets, in turn, require more than one private key to sign a valid Bitcoin transaction, often a threshold, such as two of three or three of five. This lock, so to speak, is enforced by the full power of the Bitcoin network,…

Strive Asset Management is pushing back against MSCI’s latest proposal. The index provider suggested removing companies with bitcoin holdings over 50% of total assets from major equity benchmarks.

In a letter to MSCI CEO Henry Fernandez, Strive warned the plan could create uneven results worldwide. Companies report bitcoin differently under U.S. GAAP and IFRS accounting standards. Strive said this could lead to inconsistent outcomes for firms with similar exposure.

The Nasdaq-listed firm urged MSCI to rely on optional “ex-digital-asset treasury” index variants instead of redefining eligibility for broad benchmarks. These custom indexes already exist for sectors like energy and…

One key factor in the market is Strategy (MSTR),…
