According to CoinMeta, the chairman of strive and also CEO Matt Cole stated that his confidence in Bitcoin's future 12 to 18 months has further strengthened, and he believes that the current bear market has come to an end. The next cycle of Bitcoin could become the strongest in history. He pointed out that the BTC to gold ratio hit its bottom in February 2026, about five months earlier than the BTC dollar price bottom in July. Currently, Bitcoin has broken through against both the dollar and gold. Cole believes that the dollar entering a long-term weakening cycle, along with the growing demand for “scarce assets” driven by AI, will bring structural benefits to Bitcoin that it has never experienced before.
