Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, believes that the time to stop heart Bitcoin (BTC) price collapse is over because investors treat it as an asset class.
In an April 1 CNBC Squawk Box interview, Cathie suggested that a 50% drop in Bitcoin in 2026 would be considered a real victory in their community. Furthermore, BTC prices have already recorded a decline of 85% or more from their previous major market peak.
“85-95% is falling due to new technology – it’s done.” This is a proven technology, it’s a proven way of making money, and it’s a new class of investment,” he said. he said.
As the price of Bitcoin was sold at about $ 67,000 on April 3, Cathie showed its maturity as a payment technology, noting that it has been strengthened by the continuous implementation. Expanding on this point, he described Bitcoin as a new form of financial system and value network whose volatility is shrinking as large financial institutions pile in for long-term profits.
Will the price of Bitcoin repeat the historic collapse in 2026?
From a technical point of view, the price of Bitcoin may be following a four-year cycle characterized by declines, an event that reduces the rewards for miners, thereby cutting off the annual price decline. Since it reached an all-time high (ATH) of around $126,198 in early October 2025, the BTC price may be ready to retest the ‘Heavy Undervalued’ category on the value map, based on data from BitcoinStrategyPlatform.
Likewise, if the price of Bitcoin follows the previous trend, another trend may be started before the new ATH is updated. However, as institutional investors, led by BTC exchange (ETFs), resetting the demand for initial capital, a bear market may have already been created.
After ending the worst first quarter in 8 years with a 22.2% decline, Cathie and other economists are predicting what could happen. BTC price change in the second phase, motivated by economic support ideas in the United States.
