Probability

65%

Bitcoin was trading at ~$77,000 on 21 August 2026 (Fortune), driven by positive regulatory signals (CLARITY Act, SEC crypto framework). Polymarket prices 'Bitcoin above $80,000 in August 2026' at 85% with high volume; $82,500 still at 35%. The ~3.9% gap to the target is realistic given current momentum. We set 65% – slightly more conservative than the Polymarket anchor (85%) because 'anytime in August' is a broader target than a specific Friday close, and Jackson Hole (Warsh speech, 28 Aug) could introduce volatility.

Data basis for this prediction

Polymarket: 'BTC über 80.000 USD im August 2026' – 85 % Wahrscheinlichkeit (Stand ~21. Aug. 2026)
Fortune: BTC/USD ~77.000 USD (21. Aug. 2026)
