Analyst Joe Carlasare Projects Bitcoin to Reach $200K–$300K Within 18 to 24 Months Amid TradFi Inflows

During an appearance on the *What Bitcoin Did* podcast, attorney and crypto commentator Joe Carlasare raised his previous cycle-high target, projecting that Bitcoin could surge into the high $200,000s to $300,000 range over the next 18 to 24 months—representing roughly a threefold increase from current price levels near $80,000.
Pressed by host Danny Knowles on the ambitious forecast, Carlasare explained that breaking and firmly sustaining above the $100,000 threshold will trigger accelerated retail FOMO and institutional allocation. He anticipates that fresh all-time highs could materialize as early as late 2026 or early 2027, driven by persistent capital inflows from traditional financial markets.
